Audio-Technica ATH-M50X Reviews

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.

Very good for the price

Great sound.

Using for rehearsal with bass and guitar at home, connected to the amplis (amplifi/Fender rumble).

It sounds good, and good isolation.

I was concern for the bass, but it is pretty good for it also.

I recommend it.

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.

Amazing Headphones

I have been using this for a month, and I can say these headphones are amazing, I have been able to perceive certain elements that in other headphones I have never heard.

My only problem with this was I heard strange noises like a distortion on a few songs. But I asked to a friend that have studio monitors to listening the same songs and see if they listening it too. And yes, he hear it. So this prove a lot of the quality of the headphones, this proves that you will be able of listening the 100% of the quality of the mixing of the songs and be able to see what songs have amazing mixing and see what songs have bad mixing with a lot of distortion.

Another curious fact was when I watching movies, I wanted to take the headphones to the "limit" and although they are not made properly to watch movies but for music production.

I wanted to know how they behaved and once again, it's a difficult feeling to explain, but these headphones are really good, quality was really fantastic, all elements of the film were perfectly audible.

In terms of sound can't identify a negative point.

The quality of material of manufacture is the weak point, In my opinion the quality of the material could be a better for the price.

Pros:

- Sound:

Amazing sound for the price.

Improve a lot my mixing skills.

- Comfort:

Contrary to what I read before buying, I really like the comfort they offer.

- Be able of change cable.

Cons:

- Material of manufacture.

- Only be able of use Audio-Technica cables.

If you want a headphones for be able to produce music or hear music with a lot of quality this is the best option.

I think it was one of my best purchases. Worth it.

Best headphones out there

Bought 4 pairs and they are perfect.

Sound is impecable.

Quality is very good.

Very good headphone,sound is really nice,enough bass,incredible.

I,m using it for recording to.great.

a bit soare from the pads after few hours,maybe because it s new.

In general buy it you won t regret!

Highly recommend these headphones!

I find these headphones excellent in my home studio. I use them every day. I like the idea that you can disconnect the cable and have the choice of coiled or straight, for your own preference. They are very comfortable to wear, even with glasses! The cups are really soft. The sound quality is very pure: nothing added, nothing taken away.

Overall I would recommend these headphones for studio work.

Best price/quality out there

Would recommend it to everyone with a budget of ~¤100.

Mine broke after almost a year unfortunately, but it is covered by warrenty.

Further the quality is supreme and the comfort also.

The best sounding headphone yet. I can listen to every single instrument in a song. Very balanced. Specially people who like metal, thrash metal, alternative rock songs will enjoy every single instrument crisp and clear, for hours, without any stress on ear.

This headphones definitely live up to their reviews, solid build, and nice natural flat frequency response, definitely the best i've heard in there price range. Great pair of headphones for a bedroom producer.

Excellent headphones, just not for wearing for long periods of time

FIrst of all I'd just like to say how much I love the audio quality of these headphones, you can easily define and pick out the highs, mids and lows.

I was using bass-boosted headphones up until now so obviously there is a lot less bass when it comes to studio headphones.

Pros:

? Amazing audio quality

? Great soundstage considering they're closed-back headphones

? Replaceable cable, which is one of the main reasons why I bought these headphones

Cons:

? They're not particularly comfy for wearing for long periods of time (upwards of 2 hours), this may just be because I have big ears as other people I know who own these do not have this issue

That's my only criticism of these headphones, if you're looking for low budget headphones with amazing audio quality then you've found them!

A very underrated pair of headphones

These headphones are not only comfy to wear, but sound as good as the trumpet serenade welcoming your ears at the pearly gates of heaven!

The leather pads work wonders for the weak skin around your hearing organs as they softly but firmly place themselves on top of the surface, no to little fatigue at all after hours of wearing them!

As most headphones these will start sounding better and better as you play more sounds through them, so you'll kind of have to ''tune'' them in to what they're properly supposed to sound like.

The frequency response is smooth and flat and very detailed, easy to spot new details in your productions that would otherwise go unnoticed, I even hear lots of small things in my favourite tunes I never would have without them.

All in all definitely a good buy!

Great Headphones, definitely would recommend.

Very impressed by these headphones. Use them for studio recording and mixing. Sound is near perfect for me.

They do fit comfortably, however if I was to be picky I wish they were a tiny bit lighter. Wouldn't recommend falling asleep on a long haul flight with them on your head.. My neck was in bits! This of course shouldn't put you off buying these, their comfort is improved from their predecessors without a doubt.

I definitely would recommend these headphones. Great price for what you're getting. Would also suggest checking out the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones. Close in price range, comfortable, and also has great sound. No need to worry though, both are fantastic buys. Don't waste valuable music making time, decide and buy either (or both like me)!

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X

I have bought this headphones for listening some music on my ip6 and playing electric guitar via head amp. Tight bass and rich tone scale very impressed. For listening music i suggest a mini amp (fioo etc) it gives it's full potentially. Highly recommended.

High quality headphones

They are comfortable, the have an incredible frequency response, they are not too big and not too hot when wearing for a long period.

The rotation feature is very handy, as you can fold them and easily put them in the provided bag. Plus they come with 3 different cables and plugs.

These headphones don't cost much considering the great quality they offer. I'm very impressed!

Best closed-back Headphones!

I already had the previous M50 edition. Not the X. I don't have to say much for their sound. They can go really loud withoud get distorted. They are relatively flat, even they are a closed-back design and everyone in the studio wants them. The new edition sounds identical, but it also provides detachable cable, softer pads and both coilded and straight cables. Couldn't be more pleased.

ATH-50X: great sound, good quality!

M50x headphones are well-built. In my opinion, they are perfect for the music production at home. the M50x can be used without any listening fatigue, they?re comfortable enough to wear all day.

M50x headphones comes with three detachable cables in the box (for even more versatility): the curly cable, the 3-meter straight cable and a 1.2-meter cable.

It would have been nice to get a hard case for these headphones... After all, I was surprised at the great sound of ATH M50x considering the modest price.

Superb audio quality

These perform really well over a large variety of music styles. I tend to listen for long periods and I had no problem whatsoever with their comfort.

Great all rounders!

I listen to a broad range of music. From classical , to pop , techno and all the way thorugh to metal and in between. I have to say these headphones work well in all situations so far. Not a single problem with them in terms of sound quality , everything is very clear and defined. You can pick out instruments very easily while listening through these. Comfot wise they are lovely for a while , after a few hours of continuous wearing I will admit a bit of discomfort sets in from the headband but it's not overly troublsome. Just re-adjust slightly and you are okay again. Quality wise you can tell these are low to low mid range headphones, the construction if all plastic bar the inneer headband but that is fine. I found that inclusion of 3 different cables quite helpful also , one straight short cable for casual listening , a coiled cable with 3/4 inch adapter and a long straight cable both to more than likely be used in studio like environments . All in all worth every penny as they get better with use !
