I sent the email out early this morning...here's the reply...


Thank you for writing in. Always here to help.
I am sorry Larry. I have verified that the three email addresses you provided me do not include on your referral list. Hence, no referral credit was issued on your account.

HA...now they even took away the ONE credit that I did get!
 
 

Larry thanks for the link to the replacement ear cushions. I bought the 40's long ago and the cushions wore out. Leaving little black specks on my face!!

Looked at the link you posted and it got me to some replacement cushions.

Awesome Grem!  Yes..those cushions work for the 40's as welll...I might even have to buy 
a set for my 40's at that price!

Ok Larry, seems to have worked after all just a few minutes ago.
 
Got an email today saying that there was a $10 credit for me there.
 
So even amidst one more nomorerack website hassle, it finally all worked out, including an order confirmation #  email as well.
 
I'm gonna PM you my email so you can get the credit. 
 
@ vintagevibe, the deal's still on for another 20 hours or so incase you missed it.

Okay...I received my new phones and I have to say I am pleased. They showed up well packed and in the original audio - technica packaging marked as manufacturer refurbished. I ordered on 4/18 and received them on 4/30. They look, sound and feel new to me.
 I A-B'd them with my Beyerdynamic dt770's. They sound quite a bit different. The M50's are quite a bit louder maybe because the 770's are 80 ohms. At this point I feel like I can trust the M50's bottom more but I'm used to the dt770's. The 770's are more comfortable for sure, maybe the M50's will get more comfortable as they break in. I absolutely love having both. These are a steal at this price.
I have and old pair of M40's with wore out ear pads, I think I'll repair 'em. Can I get a tutorial Bit?
Thanks again Larry, I hope you get the credit that's due.

I'm a big fan of switching between two or more headphones that sound different from one another. The M50's have about a 4 dB boost in the low end that extends up partway into the mud range. That means if a mix sounds like it's lacking bass in those headphones, then I know it's really lacking bass. If my mix is muddy, it'll sound really muddy in those headphones - but not in my Sennheisers, which are very flat in the low end.
 
OTOH, if my mix is too bright the M50's might not reveal it because they're a little soft in the high end. The Sennheisers, however, will let me know RIGHT NOW if the mix is too bright. When the mix sounds good on both, then I listen on some Sennheiser in-ears that are annoyingly hyped at both ends of the spectrum.
 
If the mix passes that test, then I know for sure that I've hit the sweet spot. 
 
Yes, the M50's will get more comfortable over time, but they'll never match those velour pads.
 

Just so everyone knows that "TIMER" on the deal means nothing.
The deal is available until they sell out.

Just wanted to point that out.
The TIMER will reset after it runs out.

Latest update...
 
They have no intention of giving me the credit(s)....so that was about $100 I didn't get...

So I am hereby formally withdrawing my endorsement of Nomoreracks.com....
Their referral program appears to be a scam...

Those of you who bought these using my link...if you have the time, please
write an email to Nomoreracks and express your displeasure if you would be so
kind....

Other then that....the headphones are awesome....
