Is there a difference between the Sennheiser 449 and 439 besides the ear cups, the look and do the different ear cups effect the sound
Thanks

not familiar with those, but yes earcups will make a difference.

how does the material of the ear cups affects the sound

i am not an expert with these. however, sound is affected by a lot of things. you see all those accoustic treatments some people use on their walls and such. like a solid wall would bounce sound, a different material would have the sound behave differently.

i suggest you read some reviews, try them out if possible. or maybe there are other models/brands that will suit your budget.
i recently got senn also, using it right now happy with it
