Audio-Technica ATH-M50X 5-stars Reviews

powerful headphone

Headphone with strong and clear sound, comfortable and does not cause heat in the ear after long use

GREAT ALLROUNDER!

great headphones, use on all my studio mixes

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.

Great

I'm using it with Millenium MPS-850 E-Drum set. Clear and crisp sounds. Only downside for me is when it is hot at home, it makes you sweat a lot :)

Super quality Headphones

I think they are the best at this price that we can find on the market. Nothing to say on quality and materials. The sound is excellent. High fidelity with an honest price.

A Drummers Dream

I bought these for recording drums at home, amazing quality and unreal balance when hearing the drums live in your ears when recording.

Everyone has different ears so do see if you are comfortable wearing over-ear headphones there is a difference to on -ear.

highly recommend them to drummers for tracking drums in a studio

perfect

sounds great. its what i had expected.

Great Headphones

Its really fun to use the ATH-M50 X. I got them already some years ago and they are still performing like on the first day. I use them when I´m jamming around. For mixing, I prefer other headphones like the BD 990 or 770 because otherwise I always mess up my low end with the ATH-M50 X.

All in all great headphones!!

Best headphones for the budget

I'm amazed of how comfortable and clear can these headphones be. I tend to work during the night so I use them everyday. The sound is incredibly clear. Not as flat as the ATH-M40 though. The M50 have a bit more bass than the M40 but I don't mind a bit more bite.

The quality of the build is top notch.

Perfect for Music Production

I bought this product to be able to have a neutral sound when i work in my home studio.

The accoustic is really good for its price and it's really confortable on the ears if you only spend a couple hours with it. (More, it may become a little bit unconfortable since it's tight around the head)

I fairly recommand this product !

Amazing clarity love them!

Good monitoring headphones

Light and comfortable with good sound insulation.

I particularly appreciate the 3 different leads that allow me to do different things unhindered - mixing sitting down, playing guitar sitting or standing, or playing upright electric bass (obviously standing)

4 on sound because they lack a little in the very low frequencies when I'm playing bass, but you need to pay a lot more than these headphones cost to get excellent low level quality and clarity

Comfortable

I have a pair of these for years in grey. They are really comfortable and offer decent isolation and a solid low end. I've travelled extensively with them (with a hard case) and they have never broken on me through extensive use.

I bought this set so I could offer anyone I was recording the same SonarWorks tuned headphone response I was monitoring on. This really helps the recording process when you know you're listening to exactly what the talent is listening to.

What SonarWorks has showed me is that there are no perfect headphones (sonically). I've tried expensive DT's with SonarWorks and the correction is always noticeable.

Perfect

ATH-M50X have a nice overall sound, not too much bass or treble. All balanced.

Really nice headphones!

Very good headphones - I use them for home studio.

They have really quality sound and strong bass. When I record my vocals, they are very comfortable and they isolate sound very good, so I can get clear vocal tracks. I really cannot find anything bad about these headphones.

In my opinion one of the best mid budget studio headphones on the market.

these cans have a great sound and are a staple for studios. there could be more padding, but they're comfortable enough for studio work

Exactly what I wanted!

Amazing headphones, do not hesitate to purchase. The only critique is the comfort as your ears might feel a little warm and pinched after a long period of time.

Great headphones

Exactly as described and very pleased with my purchase.

Thanks for the great service.

Very good headphones

I needed a replacement for my old AKGs, I found these headphones very good for both studio monitoring and everyday use. The resolution and the overall dynamics are consistent, with no coloration at every usable sound level.

Great sound!

Amazing sound, I bought it as a gift for my wife (she was looking for a skullcandy...!?)

She was blown away by the sound and uses it every day now!

Best gift i ever bought her! (okay ok, maybe a ring...)
