ATH-M50X : Compact and rugged - One of the best options out there.

Compared to my other monitor headphones, the DT-770 Pro, these seem to have just a bit better low end response. But overall the sound is flat with no flavor whatsoever.

The low impedance gives you some versatility, allowing the use across multiple devices rather than just a dedicated headphone amplifier.

You can even use them as your daily headphones!

Comfort wise, they are the best suit for some while a nightmare for others... It all comes to your preferences. The Pads are a bit smaller compared to other headphones in this range and some complain about that. Buying new pads might solve this issue, but I haven't tried that yet.

The clamping force is present, but seems to go unnoticed.

They shrink down to half the size. You can switch cables.

They are rugged, I dropped them multiple times, and even used them in raining conditions, though I would not encourage you to do that!!

In conclusion, if you only need voice monitoring headphones, go ahead and get the DT-770 Pro, otherwise if you would like to be able to use them as day to day and pack them, throw them around, I would suggest you get these.
