Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphone, Black, with Cutting Edge Engineering, 90 Degree Swiveling Earcups, Pro-grade Earpads/Headband, Detachable Cables Included

I originally bought the ATH M50xs and returned them (thank you Amazon for making it so easy), because I felt too much bass intrusion --and a less forward midrange. I did a lot of additional listening to other closed headphones that I could borrow or find in retail stores that fell between $100 and $200 price range. These included the Brainwavz HM5, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and HD 380 Pro, AKG K 240 MK II, and others. (The one set of cans I didnt try--and wish I would have to compare these against--are the NVX Audio XPT100. I know they are supposedly Brainwavz HM5 clones but because of their very different earpad architecture, may have a very different sound signature that is also appealing. Anybody who has, please drop me a note here.)

Gut Qualität.

Firstly, I was very confused between M40x and M50x. I wanted to know which one is better for music production and live performance and also for personal entertainment while traveling. Initially I was hooked on to M50x but then I got to know that theyre definitely amazing but has slightly enhanced low frequency.

I absolutely loved these headphones. Their quality was and is fantastic. My only complaint is that the broke after 2 years of moderate use. They still work technically, but a plastic piece broke from no obvious trauma (I was just taking them off my head).

Awesome monitoring headphone at this range.. but in case of weight,one should go for m50x so

Was comfortable and sounded great. but broke within 6 months, now the headphones only output one ear. Just spend your money somewhere else so you dont have to spend even more money on a replacement.

They have an awesome sound quality, if you are a gamer like me then these are perfect for FPS games you can hear everything, also they are sick for music 100% would recommend

Excelentes audífonos, son muy comodos, muy buena presentación, relación calidad precio.

Siento que realzan un poco las frecuencias medias, medias-altas pero fuera de eso son audífonos muy cómodos, aunque esto depende del tamaño de la oreja de cada quien.

Great headphones! Very clever design with the cord being completely stand alone, allowing you to replace one or the other in case of one part breaking. My cat is a menace to cables and cords of any kind short of anchor chains.
