M50x Professional Monitor Headphones Black

Actually bought 2 pairs of these for my sons in white. Great sounding headphones!. Liked them so much bought a pair for meself. Wanted a pair that were not too clinical and flat, last thing i wanted was to come home after a hard day and start an analytical listening session. Went through a lot of pairs before these ranging from Senny RS165 blutooth, Senny HD650's, a pair of Sony MDR1 and another Sony blutooth , Audio Technica MSR 7 which were good but occasionaly peaked the higher frequencies too much for me at my age 40+. All these fell short apart from the Sennheiser HD650's. Now the reasons why i kept these and sold the HD650's. Let me start by saying for me the M50x are an excellent set of cans that hold the frequencies with integrity. Tops never peaked and sounded harsh, mids were separated and slightly pronounced and never sounded muffled once, and the lows are tight and controlled but ever so slightly pronounced for a more warm sounding experience exactly what i was wanting. A run of Yanni Rainmaker and Estas Tonne The Song of the Golden Dragon shone on these with a good soundstage but not greatly expansive, one was able to distinguish the instruments and the vocal from the senorita in the Rainmaker was nothing short of sublime and epic journey to the heavens and back. A few further tracks of Coldplay, George Benson, Randy Crawford, Qawalli Folk Music. Clannad Irish Folk, and finally some classic hip hop from the likes of Cool Herk, Afrika Bambata, Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash etc and modern hip hop likes of Mobb Deep, CNN, Fat Joe, Big Pun etc let me say these cans brought a smile to the face which hurt! A set of cans that did an excellent job at lots of different genres. Very rarely do you come across a pair that can handle the above genres with authority, never once sounding uncontrolled or overwhelmed. I tried the headphones with my Nexus 6P through a quality HP amp and 32 bit DAC that i used with my Senny HD650's that were power hungry. the M50x sound was further enhanced and now the smile had turned to a grin with a few audible affirming compliments, totally sublime and these were testing the waters of my HD650's which were more than twice the price of these. However let me state for the record these M50x are stupendously good for the person who wants to disappear into the audio and doesn't want a totally flat response as monitors can provide, however after much consideration on the point of diminishing returns and the power hungry 'open back' HD650's i went with the M50x as they were also easier to drive and did not need a lengthy set up when you wanted a quick portable listen, but these are 'NOT' as good as the reference standard HD650's which are definitely a couple of notches above the M50x's. The reason the HD650's were better for me were 1) The comfort level of the velour pads. 2)The open back design also let your ears breath. The tops mids and bottoms never lost integrity once 'no matter how hard they were pushed' 3) You could hear the breath intake of vocalists and individual strike of the music instruments on the HD650's especially when listening to Estes Tonne the legendary guitarist. That's not to say these expressions were not noticeable on the M50x but their was a great soundstage on the HD650 which the M50x could not compete with, bear in mind the HD650s cost over twice the price of the M50x. Now youll be wondering why did i sell the HD650's, the choice was one of diminishing returns of how much one has to pay for the little improvement in sound in the world of hi-fi audio and the fact that i have kids that constantly disturb me and the HD650's being OB design became unsuitable. I may have possible kept them had it not have also been the set up procedure of the DAC and headphone amp being anchored to the listening room. This was one of the more difficult decisions i have ever made on a set of cans so ill finish by saying where the Audio Technica's were like Satin the Sennheiser HD650's were like silk. The choice is yours!

Now I'm not going to go into the detail of the headphone quality, or any of that. Mainly, because I believe that I could not do the headphones justice with my efforts. There are qualified people you can research for that bit. I'm going to focus on what I believe is truly the point in reviewing it from the customer's side, which is the difference between the M50x's (these) and the M50's (the older model). The main difference between the 2 is the ability to change the cable used, dependent on the headphone usage. The m50's do not have detachable or changeable cables, they only have one, which I believe is either coiled cable or a 3m cable. Whilst they are monitor/stereo headphones, this is still a hindrance to a large sum of people. Because of the amazing value and brilliance of the M50's (Well done to Audio Technica), these headphones have caught the eye of not only studio-working musicians, or editors/producers, but also of any of the public who enjoy great, natural and realistic sounding headphones at an affordable price (which for a mid-range market, attracts a lot of people). This however meant that using them anywhere else apart from indoors in their own set up was an ongoing war against the lump of coil or 3 metres of cable that came with it, hence either inconveniencing casual wearers for the majority of the time, or restricting them to indoor usage. When I got the M50's, I ended up using them everyday e.g. going to school, music studies, band practicing. After a few months, I found myself consciously thinking about how bulky the coil cable is. However, the coil cable has got it's uses. And for a musician, those uses were and are very real. The annoying confliction. The M50x's come with 3 interchangeable cables. a coiled cable, a 3m cable, and a 1.2m cable. What the M50x's have done, has basically alleviated me of every possible problem I could think of with these headphones, and you can imagine that when I head of these from a friend, I bought them nearly instantly. I am truly grateful to Audio Technica for fixing a seemingly negligible irk of mine, but has nevertheless been a minor complaint. This is not the only thing they have changed, though. There are very subtle but existing design changes from the original M50's that have also, in my opinion, improved the headphones. The feel of the leather on the earcups, the size of the earcups vs the size of the ear space has decreased, meaning the earcups are more compact without the downside of having a smaller amount of ear space, the M50x's are also slightly lighter and more flexible. Apart from the differences, the quality of the headphones are incomparable to those anywhere near it's price, 10/10 would recommend either the M50's or the M50x's (because I know that now the M50's are cheaper).

These headphones are absolutely incredible—they will take your breath away, guaranteed! However, a word of advice for beginners: to unlock their full potential, you must use them with an audio interface. If you plug them directly into a PC without a preamp/amp, you’ll only experience about half of their power and might mistakenly think they’re underwhelming. The frequency range and stability are out of this world. You can push them to maximum volume with zero distortion—every tone remains perfectly in place. The bass is deep and powerful, making music, movies, and gaming an entirely new experience. Now, let’s talk value. These are not high-end €1000 headphones, yet they deliver way beyond their price point. In fact, you might spend a fortune on well-known premium brands and end up disappointed compared to these. Initially, I bought them for professional content creation, but they turned out to have too much bass for my needs—I needed something more neutral. However, for listening to music, especially at high volumes, these absolutely pack a punch! I buy a lot of products on Amazon but rarely leave reviews—only for exceptionally good or extremely bad products. These deserve 10 stars.

Great headphones no issues

Auf der suche nach einem neuen Kopfhörer habe ich einige Modelle getestet. Der ATH M50x ist es nicht geworden, was aber an meinen Anforderungen und nicht am Gerät lag. Getestet habe ich folgende Kopfhörer: 1. Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition 250 Ohm 2. V-Moda LP2 3. Technics RP1200 4. ATH M50x 5. Beyerdynamics Custom Studio 6. Sennheiser HD598. Als erstes muss ich sagen das dies alles wirklich sehr gute Kopfhörer sind, die alle ihre Qualitäten haben. Testumgebung: Audioquenst Dragonfly, Foobar2000 mit WASAPI, Flac-Dateien (teilweise 96/24). Geteste Musik: Klassik, Rock, Elektro (Minimal, Hardstyle, House, Dubstep), R&B. Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition 250 Ohm: Klanglich echt der Wahnsinn, mit Abstand der beste unter den sechs. Sehr sehr hochauflösend und ein sehr rundes und schönes Klangbild. Ich war total begeistert. Er hat nur einen entscheidenden Nachteil: Absolut keinen Bass! Ich habe dann mit dem EQ etwas nachgeholfen, dann war es perfekt. Allerdings fand ich es nicht in Ordnung für einen KH 250€ auszugeben, bei dem ich klanglich nachregeln muss, also ging er zurück V-Moda LP2: Sehr Robuste KH, der Hersteller wirbt damit, dass er Stürze aus 2m Höhe auf Beton standhält. Im Gegensatz zum DT880 eine Bassmaschine. Die Ohrmuscheln vibrieren richtig, einfach der Hammer. Er ist extrem Pegelfest, die Ohren schmerzen aber es verzerrt nichts. Im Hoch- und Mitteltonbereich gefiel er mir aber nicht so gut, bis ich Ihn an einen Ipod anschließ und im EQ herumspielte. Ich habe dann eine Einstellung gefunden die perfekt war. Alles war ausgewogen und Klang wirklich einwandfrei. Ich hätte den V-Moda behalten, aber ich besitze nun mal keinen Ipod und die KH sollen ja schließlich an jeder Quelle gut klingen. Technics RP1200: Dieser KH ist für DJ's bestimmt genau das Richtige. Er schirmt sehr gut ab, hat einen hohen Anpressdruck, ist klanglich nicht schlecht, aber er 'schreit' mich im Mitteltonbereich zu sehr an und hat meiner Meinung nach ein zu hartes Klangbild. Er ist wie der V-Moda extrem Pegelfest und hat jede Menge druck. Eine PA-Anlage als Kopfhörer, was ja auch irgendwie zum Anwendungsbereich passt. ATH M50x Ebenfalls sehr wertig gebaute KH, angenehmer Sitz, viel Zubehör im Lieferumfang. Klanglich finde ich Ihn besser als den Technics, allerdings ist er mir etwas zu Basslastig. Alles in allem sehr gute KH, klanglich hervoragend. Mit Sicherheit einer der am besten klingenden DJ KH in der Preisklasse um 200€. Beyerdynamics Custom Studio: Was soll ich sagen? Er kommt klanglich fast an den DT880 ran, bietet dabei aber ein gutes Bassfundament. Das liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass diese eine geschlossene Bauweise haben und der DT880 halboffen gebaut ist. Er gibt die Musik sehr neutral und in all Ihren Feinheiten wieder. Klanglich können die anderen nicht mithalten (abgesehen vom DT880), lediglich der HD598 macht Ihm fast Konkurrenz. Die KH sind sehr stabil verarbeitet und schirmen auch wirklich gut in beide Richtungen die Umgebung ab. Was mir auch sehr gut gefällt ist die variable Basseinstellung. Stufe 0 hat fast gar keinen Bass und ist nicht empfehlenswert. Stufe 1 ist perfekt und für mich völlig ausreichend. Sehr präziser, unaufdringlicher und zum Gesamtklangbild passender Bass. Die nächsten beiden Stufen heben den Bass merklich an, ohne das der Klang und die hohe Auflösung darunter leiden. Es klingt einfach stimmig und auch nicht überladen, allerdings wird der Bass ein klein wenig unpräziser. Insgesamt kommt er von allen Kandidaten am nächsten an den Klang meiner Anlage heran (Vincent SV-236 & Canton Vento 890.2 DC). Sennheiser HD598: Ich war extrem überrascht wie VIEL Bass diese offenen Kopfhörer haben! Habe oft gelesen sie hätten fast gar keinen, das stimmt auf gar keinen Fall! Ich musste bei einigen Liedern die höchste Bassstufe am Custom Studio wählen um an diesen Bass heran zu kommen. Der Bass klingt nicht überladen und fügt sich sehr gut ins Klangbild ein und klingt ein kleines bisschen präziser als beim CS, was daran liegt, dass dieser auf höchster Stufe stand. Im Hoch- Mitteltonbereich sind Sie auch sehr gut, klingen aber im Gegensatz zum Custom Studio ein wenig dumpfer, haben aber ein wirklich schönes und warmes Klangbild. Der CS löst aber besser auf und klingt ein wenig 'echter'. Die Entscheidung zwischen diesen beiden KH war trotz des etwas dumpferen Klangs nicht leicht, weil er nicht so analytisch und dafür wärmer klingt. Da er aber eine offene Bauweise hat und ich eigentlich doch eher analytischen und neutralen Klang mag fiel er raus. Wenn man die Sennheiser aufsetzt, hat man das Gefühl man hätte Sie gar nicht aufgesetzt, und das aus zwei Gründen: 1. super bequem ! 2. Man hört völlig ungedämpft die komplette Umgebung und umgekehrt. Für Öffis und Mitmenschen sind die KH absolut ungeeignet, was auch zur Entscheidung beigetragen hat. Fazit: Klare Kaufempfehlung für den Custom Studio! Als DJ-Kopfhörer und für Bassliebhaber ist der ATH M50x sehr zu empfehlen. Ich hoffe ich konnte dem ein oder anderen bei einer Kaufentscheidung helfen.

I love these audio technic headsets so good for gaming. I can hear all the directional footsteps great sound quality. I would recommend them to anybody whether you just plug them into your PC or you use it with a amp or DAC

Let me start off with a disclaimer that I am rather severely hard of hearing (require good hearing aids to hear well...ish) caused by a bout with bacterial menigitis as a toddler, so take the following review for what you will. General Summary: With these, I can hear/feel bass, I can now (occasionally) hear things I couldn't hear before (eg: cymbals/high-hats on drums) and similar sounds (although my headphones are in the dangrously loud range of 85-90db+ range when I do so). Volume is not an issue with these by any means as I can actually turn them up to be loud enough to hurt my ears and force me to turn it back down (though I rarely ever have it that loud as my hearing is damaged enough as is lol). For music: The bass has will actually vibrate my headphones when turned up despite not having EQ tuned more towards bass (it's pretty flat which is another bonus as it gives you a better baseline for EQ control). I can hear certain things I never could before such as things in the "back of the mix", faint adlibs, subtle sounds such as cymbals and hi-hats on drums. For Gaming: Clarity is incredible and I have slightly more situational awareness when in games (though I still miss some things due to my hearing issues). Volume & sound feels rather "full" to me as well. I rarely ever have volume/sound issues in games with these headphones. For movie/video (youtube, netflix, etc): Outside of really soft speaking/whispering, I have absolutely no issue with hearing everything rather clearly (aside from added effects such as distortions of course, but I can barely understand that to begin with due to hearing). Even with distortions though, I can actually hear and understand it a little better than I have ever been able to with any other headphones I've ever used, personally. My previous headset was a Logitech Artimis which was surprising how good it was and until I got these, the Artimis headsets were the best I've ever used (though gaming focused)... Now? Sorry Logitech, but these are even better, however, with that said. Both are surprisingly affordable for their quality and neither use the dreaded "in-line controls" which always the weakest point and when that goes, the headphones stop working so any headphones without in-line controls will always be viewed far more favorably by me in durability... Speaking of... Durability: I've dropped these countless times (by accident... butterfingered klutz problems lol). Have accidentally "kicked" them, pulled a little too hard when there was not enough cord, and other various, minor mishaps common from daily use and they are still working fine with 0 issues or any actual damage. I have one minor gripe although I think that has more to do with my glasses (or me) than with the headphones and that is that sometimes I can't seem to make them sit comfortably on my head, but rotating the cups a little seems to help though it still takes a few minutes to get used to it again but once I do... They are incredibly comfortable and remain comfortable even after wearing them for 12+ hours a day as I do most things on the PC and at my PC most of the day, so I'm wearing the headphones more often than not. These are durable, powerful, and comfortable. The only drawback for me *personally* has less to do with the headphones and more with hardware/software of my PC which is I wish this came with an app that could read db output so I can be more conscious and careful of my hearing for it is more dangerous (for me). Thus it is more likely to cause damage for me as my starting volume is considerably higher by default due to hearing loss as the 70db range is what I need to hear well enough to follow along (I can *hear* the 60db range, but have severe trouble understanding as it's barely whisper level for me due to hearing). but that's really close to 80db range and I can easily cross over into that (and into the 90s) for long extended listening periods which can damage hearing if done for extended amounts of times. All in all, I highly recommend this product whether your hearing is normal or damaged. I have found no legitimate faults with this product. I would definitely purchase again in the future (doubly so if they create and include an app that can help keep track of db levels to add a layer of hearing protection much like apple does with their air pod ear buds and the hearing section of the health app). I would hope that if they do the app, it is free or at least cheap and affordable (like 5-10 USD at most and not something like 50-100 USD). To the person reading this: I hope this review from someone with hearing impairments was helpful in spite of the fact that I have severe hearing damage. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a great day/night.
