Used Rockville PRO-M50 Closed Over-Ears for $28
Some companies don’t even pretend not to be cloning the Audio Technica M50/M50x. They even call them M50 🙂 One such clone may be of interest if you are interested in accessory hoarding as much as the headphone itself, It is the Rockville PRO-M50 available in “Used – Very Good” condition for $28~ or in “Used – Like New” for $29~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals. The new condition price is $44.
Of accessory hoarding interest is that it comes with a zippered hard case, an extra pair of earpads (which means the ones attached to it are also removable), a coiled detachable 3.5mm audio cable, and a 1/4″ adapter.
The headphone reminds me of some OEM designs but I can’t pinpoint exactly what is reminds me specifically.
