ATH-M50X : Perfect studio headphones — with a tiny caveat

Hear me out: all I wanted from my headphones was a tight fit and minimal sound leakage. ATH M50X did all that — and more! My cardioid mic doesn't pick up anything from them turned up to a decent volume, and the fit is almost too tight, so you'll need to do some serious headbanging for them to slip off your head. But their closed-back build offers a clean look into their sound profile and it might not be your cup of tea, at least at first. If you like their sound though, it's a versatile headset equally useful in studio space and on the go due to assortment of cables in the box.

Personally, I don't see myself spending a lot of time listening to, or working on music in them due to being spoiled by my open-backed headphones, but they certainly have their applications and it's hard for me to imagine anything better in this price range.
