I haven't used the others you listed but, I have the 50's and they sound so good I would never buy anything less now.
Never mistake Meekness as Cowardice or Weakness, Faith as a lack of Compassion, Boldness as Arrogance, Wisdom as Ego or Love as something Physical or Emotional.

I have the 40's and 50's in my studio. The 50's are worth the extra cash. There is more low end and clarity. The 40's are still very good too.

I have AT-M50's and they are awsome, I spent about 3 hours in "Addicted to Audio" in East Kew (specialist audio store in Melb) tried all differant brands and price ranges and could not better the sound.

No experience with the others but I have the 50's and I love them! They make anything sound awesome...goes for e-drums, music and even band recordings on my Zoom Q3HD! My friends are amazed by them
I'm getting another pair when/if these ever die! Totally worth it

I used to have the Beyer Dynamics DT770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones, but returned them for the ATH-M50's. The 50's are much nicer for e-drumming, and they were $75 cheaper! I think they are very much worth the money.
