These headphones are incredible. I have AKG K77, Sennheiser HD-280 Pro, Phillips noise-cancelling, and various other headphones. The M50x blow them all away. Bass like you wouldn't believe and super clear mids and highs. Also they come with 3 (yes three!!!) different types of cords which are removable. very comfortable for hours of mixing without fatigue. I just put together a new digital recording studio and these are now my #1 go-to headphones.

I've been using the sennheiser hd280 pro for the last year+ as part of mixing/mastering set up, & I was very pleased with the performance of the hd280. I need another pair of headphones because of an additional performer that I started working with...I wanted a fantastic pair of cans for less than $200usd. Read a ton of reviews & chose the M50x...wow...wow. Monitoring on the hd280 is like listening to music under water! The M50x is so clear...you can hear everything in your. The seperation is awsome...the base response is amazing...stop reading and just go get a pair already. You'll be happy that you did.

Great sound, voice and instrument are very clear (monitor). Bass not too much, enough for my liking. Comfort is top notch for me. Wore it for couple of hours did not hurt my ears at all.

Thinking about snagging yourself a pair of Beats, Sol Republics, or Bose headphones? Seriously, THINK AGAIN. These M50's are truly the best headphones you've never heard of.

I was about to order the Beats Pro and had no doubt they were the best headphones I've had heard until. . . After researching online and watching several different reviews from different people, I was convinced to buy the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones. I have to say: I have nothing but great things to say about these headphones; I am so glad and happy I bought these instead of the overpriced Beats Pro. My suggestion to a buyer is to go online and watch the reviews on these headphones before spending so much money on Beats Pro (not that they're bad), but they are really overpriced and many people will agree with me that the sound quality on the ATH-M50x are way superior. I just love them!

As a music producer & audiophile I've used different monitor speakers and headphones and listen to music mostly as WAV and AIFF files. But with these headphones I've been able to hear so many new details and be moved by songs in a way I've never experienced before. It's super inspiring. I can hear the vocals so clearly and hear exactly what's happening with echos adlibs and effects. Overtones and differences in the amounts of reverb are very distinct too. The entire tone is beautifully full from high to low end & you can feel the impact and depth of the sub bass while also hearing the all detail of the waveform and the attack and decay and everything. Hearing what's going on with the panning has never been easier either. I checked out FKA Twigs, Drake, Ariana Grande, Travi$ Scott, Famous Dex, Keith Jarrett & Charlie Haden, Baden Powell, Kanye West and much more and it's so cool hearing the articulation and such a range of tones in an instrument and hearing everything so distinctly. These are equally good for acoustic and electronic music. The price is right, the build feels totally sturdy and comfortable, sound isolation is very effective. I also like that where the audio cable plugs into them it twists to lock so they won't accidentally get pulled out. Basically they're perfect & I couldn't be happier I bought them.

I've owned quite a few set of 'cans' over the years and have to say that these exceeded my expectations. I've read many positive reviews, so I expected very good performance, but these are much more fun to listen to, and more comfortable, than any closed-back headphones I own. They provide nearly the same level of sound isolation as my Vic Firth Drummer's cans, but with *FAR* superior SQ. The level of detail is greater than my AKG K-240 MK II, but they do give up a tiny bit in the way of comfort to the good 'ol reliable AKG's. I love them both. Now I can use the same 'phones for full-volume drum practicce as I do for critical listening for pleasure. Great price and service from my favorite music store, zZounds, and as always the 4 payment option makes them easy to own. Thanks for another great experience!

These headphones are a major upgrade to my previous Sony headphones. They are very articulate and actually sound balanced in all frequencies!

From podcasting to recording music, these are perfect! You literally can hear every single detail of a song. They also cancel any noise around you. I am currently ordering a second pair!

The Audio Technica ATH-M50x are a pretty good headphone. I used these to mix releases for years (before that the regular ATH-M50). The ATH-M50x sound pretty flat with good bass response and flat frequency response throughout. I have noticed that with all ATH-M50 models eventually they somewhat die. By this I mean there begins to be a rattling distortion in one and I assume eventually both ears. At low volumes this isn’t much of an issue but some frequencies even at moderate levels seem to make these headphones not perform as they did new. These are very comfortable and I didn’t find myself getting ear fatigue or discomfort from prolonged use. I would probably buy these again when I start booking DJ gigs again. But for now I’m doing all my mixing on Shure se215 wired earbuds. I know that sounds crazy to do serious mixing on earbuds but the se215s are the best sounding headphone (earbud) I’ve ever heard with detailed flat bass and crystal clean frequency response. The ATH-M50s have a good sound but aren’t as durable as they should be.

These headphones exceeded my expectations! I have a pair of Bose AE-2's that I use as my primary pair of headphones. (Always thought the sound quality was "OK") These new ATH-M50mx phones blow the Bose out of the water!!! Nice, tight Bass, open Mids and sparkling highs! Perfection! The Bose have been donated to my Grandson! Lol!
