## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Premium headphones at bargain price - Whenever I decide to purchase electronics I always do extensive research into which product would be best for my needs and within my price budget. I review all customer reviews on desertcart.co.uk, desertcart.com, blog and tech website reviews etc. and where possible, will go to stores in person to try/test things out. I always look at the negative reviews and see if I can spot common themes or problems, I go to the highly positive reviews and try and identify which are genuine. Finally, I go through all the 2, 3 and 4 star reviews as these seem to the be the most informative and have specific reasons as to why they didn't get a 1 or 5 star review. My budget for some over-ear headphones was about £250. I wanted something with a good, reliable build quality and also decent sound. I'm no audio expert but I know what sounds good and what doesn't (they are my ears afterall!). I looked at the B&W headphones (fantastic styling/quality - but overpriced for what you get), Beats (again, you're paying for a name...) and various other 'top end' headphones within or around the £250 mark. As stated earlier, after extensive research I settled for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X and wow I'm so glad I did. I paid £124 for them and I thought that because of the low price I'd be settling for lower sound quality than some of the higher priced headphones. But I was wrong. And all the positive reviews praising the sound quality were correct and justifiable. Although built with plastic (I'd have maybe preferred them to feel a little more durable - but it means they are light and good to travel with), they feel good to hold, they are comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. The packaging was professional and to a high standard, very nicely packaged internally also. The three cables supplied with the headphones are extremely useful. They can be swapped depending on what you need. The box does indeed come with the following: Carry bag 1.2m-3m coiled cable 3m straight cable 1.2m short straight cable Gold plated 6.3mm adapter I can sit in my lounge 3 metres away from my TV and watch films with high sound quality without waking up my other half (which was one reason I wanted them!). The PS3 Blu-ray sound on my TV is pretty bad, it's often very difficult to hear dialogue. When your other half is in bed and you turn the volume up to hear people talk, it's not great when something explodes and wakes everybody in the house up! With these headphones the sound is perfectly balanced when using it with the PS3. No mow volume adjustments needed constantly. I've played all sorts of music through them and the sound is crisp and clear. Great bass also. I've been able to hear fine details in some songs that I've not been able to notice in other in-ear headphones. I've also taken them outside with me and travelled around the underground in London etc. and they do a good job of blocking out background noise (without isolating you completely). Overall, I'm extremely happy with the headphones and if you're looking for a decent pair like I was (for any type of use) then these are an absolute bargain. Sometimes it pays to shop around and not settle for what everybody else seems to go for (Beats for example!), and in this case, shopping around has paid off. P.S. I'm writing this review several months after owning them for several months with at least 12 hours usage a week.
Review: Unbeatable headset for music & gaming - I have a background in music technology and degree in commercial music. I have tried many pairs of headphones over the last ten years during my career and we even did a full shootout test at university (which included these AT-MX50s as well as some £600+ Shure headphones); the Audio Technica headphones were the overall favourite by a long way. I've used these for 8+ years now with no major issues. After very heavy, daily use in a studio (and now more for gaming), the headband is just about starting to wear, and I have replaced the ear pads once during their lifetime. You can pick these up for about £15-20 for a pair so no major cost over their lifetime. I will probably buy a new pair in the next couple of years just because of the headband (which can't be replaced), but the current pair will be used as a secondary set for any musicians coming into the studio. For gaming they will give you a flat, but accurate EQ curve which makes the gaming experience very enjoyable. Those of you who like VERY base heavy music/EQ curves probably won't like them as they don't emphasise the low-end like some modern headphones. I recently purchased a SteelSeries Arcticis 7 wireless headset for gaming, but I ended up sending them back and reverting back to the ATs as the sound quality was a significant downgrade (by a long long way; they weren't even close). The only other thing to mention is they do a good job of keeping out unwanted noise and headphone bleed (crucial for recording situations), but they are not as "noise-cancelling" as a dedicated pair of noise cancelling headphones. This is not a major concern for me, and I've warn them on flights to cancel out background noise which was sufficient. In my professional opinion, I am still yet to find a better sounding pair of headphones than the MX-50s, and will be buying another pair when my current one finally dies! Don't fall for paying ridiculous money for hyped headphones like Bose or Beats, when you can buy these which are far better in terms of sound quality and will last a long time. If you really need the wireless aspect, then AT do another version of these called ATH-M50XBT which are the bluetooth version. Just bear in mind you will lose a lot of quality over wireless, but you can also plug them in for when you need the high quality, and use them wireless when walking/flying/listening to music etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***. on 16 March 2024*

If you’re looking for a pair of Bluetooth over ears, look no further. Every professional studio has at least one pair of M50X headphones. This is a studio quality pair of headphones at the cost of the low to mid tier competitor headphones. The app even has parametric EQ! They’re comfy to wear even if you don’t have baby ears (I’m looking at you, Sennheiser BT450). They’re a bit heavier than the competitors, but that’s a good thing. They feel (and are) a very rugged, solid pair of cans. The competitors are lighter and feel really cheap. Stop looking. These are the ones.
