Known for their reliability and durability, each model delivers a finely-balanced, accurate sound with a slight emphasis on bass and treble, and the lightweight circum-aural design guarantees a high degree of comfort even during long recording sessions. ATH-M headphones have a relatively low impedance, meaning they can achieve a good output level even on mobile devices with no additional amplification. They also provide a good level of isolation from external sounds, a useful feature for DJs mixing, or simply when listening to music in a noisy environment.

Includes 6.3 mm adaptor and bagThe ATH-M50x are the best-selling headphones for pro audio use in Audio-Technica's ATH-M series. The proprietary 45mm large-aperture drivers with copper-clad aluminium wire (CCAW) voice coils are powered by neodymium magnets which deliver exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with a deep and accurate bass response. This means the ATH-M50x are particularly suited to the demands of the studio and can in fact rival far more expensive headphones. The ATH-M50x come with two detachable "straight" cables, a third coiled cable, a 6.3mm jack adaptor and carrying pouch. What's more, the ATH-M50x are solidly built, completely collapsible for seamless transport, lightweight and very comfortable. The plush, insulating pads and adjustable headband offer a snug fit and, moreover, the earcups can be rotated 90 degrees for one-ear mixing and tracking.The ATH-M50x's closed-back design offers great isolation from ambient noise, making it an ideal companion when recording loud sources, such as a drum kit, while staying in the same room. It also offers protection from backing tracks played at high volume bleeding into the vocal track during recording. Thanks to their linear frequency response, the headphones will also perform well in mixing and post-production tasks, and DJs with a penchant for over-ear headphones will find the ATH-M50x provide both adequate isolation and sufficient output levels to cue and mix, even in the noisiest clubs. And last but not least, people looking for headphones purely for the pleasure of listening to music will be impressed by the finely-detailed highs and well-defined bass, which are rare in this price range.Whether a musician, a producer, or a DJ – there's something for everyone in Audio-Technica’s ATH-M series. The differences mostly lie in functionality rather than sound, so anyone looking for a reliable, versatile pair of headphones, intended for a variety of uses, will have come to the right place. Audio-Technica offers great products in every price bracket, and ATH-M series is no exception, boasting both studio-quality audio and excellent value for money.
