Audio-Technica ATH-M50X 5-stars Reviews

Compare with the M40 before buying because M50 has more basses

Simply the best

First and last choice for monitoring headphones. X version comes with detachable cables which is a great idea.

Superb sound in all . Been using them to track, mix and edit video.

Also been using them travelling around, never hurt my head

serious set of headphones

very good sound quality, can spot mistakes in the mix fast which I couldn't before, well able to compete with other that are a much higher price.

Very comfortable

The headphones used for mixing and whole DAW stuff, even separately with the keys only. In parallel with monitors they just perfect in class. I have placed 4 stars for sound quality only because we could always find a high end stuff that cost 5 times more and sounds of course a bit better. Generally, M50X sounds so good practically in all range of frequencies. I have to mark the comfortability of the headphones: no problem if you use them several hours straight. Would buy again with no doubt.

I prefer these to anything else on the market at this price range. sound great... then again it is Audio Technica they just make great products.

Great headphones

The sound is really great. It's clear and vibrant. No distortions. I am really happy about them.

The headphones are built in a very sturdy way. If you want to have them to-go, it's a great product.

When it's hot (like in summer) they might be a little bit uncomfortable. But that's due to the material that pads are made of. It's not bad, but noticeable.

Best Headphones I've owned

I use the ATH-M50 X for pretty much everything recording/producing wise.

They have a really clear sound and I've found that nothing gets lost in a mix.

While they're really comfy, I've found that after a few hours they can become uncomfortable, but that's no bad thing since you really shouldn't be listening to loud(ish) music for that long a time without a break!

best pro headphones in a budget

In case you are looking for professional headphones in a budget then this is the model to look for. Excellent quality, superb sound, amazing price. You can use them both in the studio or live performances. If you notice on many youtube videos of famous musicians and bands, you will see them wearing those headphones. Highly recommend them. It also has 3 different types of cables, a straight long, a curved long, and a straight short, which is ideal in case a cable needs replacement at any point.

I got the ath m50x for home recording mixing etc.

Its the first day i got them and they are excellent so far.

Stable, comfortable and with a wide range of stereo and spectrum clarity.

I m still waiting to see if they re gonna be this comfortable in the future.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X

First of all i wear a glasses,so i want a comfortable headphones and those does the job very well.At first was a little stiff but after 2-3 hours has became very comfortable.

The look is not something special but the quality is fantastic, after a year and lot of hours of use is like a new,of course i am very careful with my staff.

I use them for guitar playing,recording and mixing.The eq is not absolutely flat but when you accustomed them you will succeed a great mixes.

The best thing about them is that there is no way to have any unwanted distortion in the mix,the speakers are very detailed on this subject.

If you want them for just listening hip hop,dubstep,pop with heavy bass... don't buy it.In general the eq section is very flat for listening music and gaming.

I love the sound quality

I never used high quality headphones before, and I can definitely say that the sound has a major improvement.

My favourite thing about these headphone is the extra comfortable headband. I also love the included 3 different cables which are extra helpful. In my opinion, these are the best headphones for their price.

keep coming back to this headphone as my favourite

i do a lot of mixing on the road and usually bring 2 or 3 different headphones.

next to the ATH-M50, i use a Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro and a Sennheiser HD-600 - the Sennheiser is amazing, just not in noisy places or in public space due to it's open design). all are pretty great headphones, though if i'd have to pick one, i'd definitely pick the Audio Technica one for its clarity and very comfortable wearability (Beyer Dynamic bothers me physically after a while for creating pressure on my head).

this is my second pair. the first one became quite worn out on the ear pads after 4 years (the soft material got so dry it got cracks and became rough), and the head band broke a piece of plastic off, which made him not close well over my ears anymore. this though was after 4 years of almost full time use and being on the road, packed in and out of bags etc, so i frankly don't see that as a quality issue.

All Rounder

Great quality and accessories, very comfortable.

Good for production with a good reference sound but not really suited to djing as not very flexible and too bulky.Go for HD 25s if your djing.

Best value for money

Good response in all frequencies, exactly what i expected.

I could mix for hours with them and not feel the weight. Or hear the outer world

Great Headphones

The Best headphones I have ever used.

Durable and high quality

Im using for listening music only.

ATH-M50 X is my first studio headphones and im very happy becouse of my choice.

Pros: Nice and durable cable design, easy to carry.

Cons: None.

Great headphones

I use these headphones to record music. The sound is clear and the bass is bouncy as well. You can really hear the detail in the recording and they are good for working with sound production. Other than making music, they can be used for anything in my opinion. The ear cups are comportable and fit well. I have worn them for hours and hours. Only thing is you can't be on your side in bed when you want to listen to music, but this is the same with any pair of big headphones.

They come with three different cords and a nice bag for travelling. They can be folded so they are very compact for carrying. Also they don't have any scratches after 2 years of using every day.

Great Sounding Head Phones

For their price these headphones sound outstanding.

Love these phones

I just love these phones. Have them for half a year already. Use them all the time at home and in transit. Construction is very sturdy and seem built to last a long time. Very comfortable over the ears. The sound is pure bliss. And they look great. I highly recommend these.

Best headphones out there

Bought 4 pairs and they are perfect.

Sound is impecable.

Quality is very good.
