Audio-Technica ATH-M50X 3-stars Reviews

Overhyped

I bought these headphones for their superb review all over the internet just to be disapointed.

There is very prominent 10khz peak (which sadly can be found on many other headphones too) that was unbearable and would result very muffled mixes unless compensated greatly.

Midrange sounds like its veiled behind and does not have clarity in it.

Bass there is plenty, and for music listening it sounds good on the low register, but for any critical work, better look elsewhere.

For music listening for someone that is used to peaky highs, these can deliver. For someone who wants balanced sound, nope.

For comfort side, you should be wary that although the cans are otherwise light and does not squeeze, ears are prone to hitting the inner mesh and could cause irritation in longer sessions.

Good/OK Headphones in general, but...

1)Not so comfortable

2)Very bad quality of ear-pad material

3)Very bad quality of headband material

4)I personally don't like/need the fact that they fold(I'm not a DJ)

I went back using my AKG K 271's and I will order more of those, or maybe try the Beyer-dynamics(but they don't have detachable cables...)
