Big but clean bass, a little recessed in the upper mids, a little elevated in treble.

How do these compare to the M50?

I think it depends on the use case, since they're about even as far as sound quality. Overall I feel that the M50LE (don't know about the original) is more balanced for studio use, while the HP50 is better as an everyday portable headphone. I like the HP50 better for movies and gaming as well because of the bass and wider sound. As a bonus the HP50 comes with a nice pouch and it's foldable too, with more cables and adapters. I'd be fine with both.

The last M50s I heard sounded dull by comparison to the HP50. Decent bass quantity with medium-low bass quality. The M50 has a comfortable sound signature though, I can see why people adopt it as an everyday phone. I agree with Sforza that the HP50 is an excellent portable as well, and one I would choose over the M50 to get a more "exciting" tonality.

So it's sounding like the HP50 has more bass than the M50? That's at least the impression I'm getting. The M50 I owned was a bass-cannon almost. I'm not sure if it was a blue-box one or white-box one though.

The M50s I was referring to are the newer model, they didn't sound bass cannonny.

I finally found the box for that M50 of mine, and it is a white box. I'm not sure whether that's the bass-heavy version of the M50 or not, but either way I still find this thing a little bassy and well-extended down low compared to my HE-400.

I'm curious of people's preference between the HP50 and the SRH-1540. I know they're slightly different price points, but I like the design/materials better on the Shure.

I suppose best place to ask is on inner fidelity.

I know two people who owned the SRH-1540, and both ended up selling it. They indicated it was quite bassy. Just from their impressions I really don't have any desire to try the SRH-1540, but hey maybe it's a sleeper.

No better to ask here, but I think I'll be reviewing the 1540 in the not too distant future.
