Audio-Technica ATH-M50X Reviews

Wonderful

They are great for listening to music. I can definitely spot flaws in mixes now. Crystal clear sound. The are also great for practicing the guitar.

The quality of the headphones is amazing. Totally recommended.

Great sound

My head is larger than average, and the headphones can hurt the ears a bit when wearing them for a long time. I also think it really sucks that the cables can only be replaced with cables from the producer. This is due to the locking mechanism that goes into the headphones, and the plug is also slightly smaller than a mini-jack.

great kit

My 3rd pair of M50s since I switched to them 4 years ago... I should definitely try to stop leaving them at gigs and stop other people stealing them. They are, for me, the best value-for-money headphones on the market, to use as a FOH engineer. Their response and clarity are wonderful, I always know that what comes down the line is what I'm hearing.

Bought these for home usage and for double checking mixes after day time sessions. Overall very happy with the purchase. Serve the purpose well.

Pros:

Good bang for the buck.

Good quality

Cons:

Tend to sound a little bass and low-mids heavy to my taste.

Could be a little uncomfortable wearing these on a longer session for a guys with bigger head and ears like myself.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing headphones. I use them to mix and also casually every day. They are very comfortable and sound fantastic.

Nice Headphones

I use them for mixing and listening to music. They are of good sound clarity with lots of bass but to tight on the head. Overall very good headphones for their price.

V good monitoring headphones

I bought those headphones for playing the guitar (plugged to the amp) and listening to the music at work. Works Great for both.

Audio quality is great for me but I'm not the audiophile ad that is my first monitor headphones.

+ audio quality

+ built quality

+ 3 detachable cables in the box

+ Good noise cancellation

- Would say it's getting a bit uncomfortable after a 2-3h non-stop but nothing serious.

Great headphones which offer fairly flat frequency reproduction. These are solidly built, comfortable and don't overhype the bass to my ears.

Best quality price headphones

No doubt this are my favorite headphones. Great overall for all types of tasks.

Perfect for practice and studio monitoring

These headphones are very clear and you can hear very well every note you're playing. Just listening to music is also great with a nice bass and lot of definition. It's also great that it comes with a nice leather pouch and a handful of interchangeable cables.

Good sound quality for home recording

No complains for sound and build quality in home recording environment. The plastic parts do not look too sturdy for serious abuse. Overall really great product for the money.

Leakage

There is some leakage when using the headphones. This is not good for a recording situation. Otherwise, the headphones are great.

Highly recommended for silent mixing and mastering.

I can now hear sounds and frequences that didn't know they were there at first place. Quite comfortable also if you have a big head... :)

Amazing Headphones

Great bass; treble degrades just a tiny bit only when the sound is ramped up to the very max.

Very comfortable and great if you don't want others to be annoyed by whatever you're listening to.

Recommended!

Perfect for this price

Noise cancellation could be a bit better but otherwise they are perfect. Have used them for a year now in all my gigs and never regreted the purchase. Would definately recommend.

Allrounders

Good bang for the buck but I actually think that they feel a lot cheaper comparing them to the same ones I got back in 2013.

This edition doesn't feel as sturdy and to be honest they feel below the price point but the sound quality is solid.

So I do recommend them but don't expect the same quality as the generations before.

Like I never had a headphone before

I use it for home recording...it demonstrates me painfully the errors I play, even at low volumes

Love the selection of the cables...long, short & curly...all situation for me

I can wear these for hours...no aches on the ears

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...)

Excellent for this price

I was recommended to get this headphones as I needed new one for very frequent studio work and editing (home studio) by my friend sound engineer and I must say they are really excellent one. I never used better headphones before. Well now even my son borrow it very very often to play online group video games like CSGO and he comment as he can hear opponents more clearer now and do some more winnings. Well I can agree. I can hear more as well. I highly recommended them.
