Ive wanted a pair of these for a long time and finally got them on a sale.
Colour: I got Ice Blue because “black is boring” and my other headphones are all black. Ice Blue is not a good colour, they look like cheap plastic toys.
Fit: They are quite tight, not enough to be an issue but after long periods you certainly notice. You also notice sweat under the pads.
Sound: They have a slightly coloured sound that most people will appreciate. The bass is accentuated from around 120hz down and there is a bump in the high freqs that makes them “nice”. They are great for tracking as you record or listening to music overall. The frequency response is more controlled than the majority of commercial headphones.
Comparrassion: Compared to the commercial Sony range (as an example) these are leaps and bounds better in every way as long as you don’t want active noise cancellation. (There is a little bleed from external devices obviously but nothing out of the ordinary). Their closest competition is possibly the DT 770 range from Beyer. (I own both the DT770 Pro and the DT880 Pro). Id go for the DT770 Pro over these, except that the 250ohm version need a good headphone amp to drive them well. However the DT770 Pro fit nicer and to my ears sound flatter. (They have a bigger bump in the high end but less accentuated lower mids & bass so don’t sound quite as muddy on some songs). Drums sound fatter and fuller on the ATH M50X for example. For mixing down the DT880Pro (Semi open) is a way better option than either of these.
Misc: The ATH m50X have multiple cable replacement options that come in the box which is a real plus over their competition. A nice touch.
Summary: There’s a reason so many studios use the ATH M50X as recording (tracking) headphones and why they are so popular for listening to music, they are very good.

These are my favorite headphones and I now have all the shades of blue they’ve released. My first pair are a few years old and have no issues- the ear pads are still in great shape, the fit is good for any sized head, the sound quality is fantastic, there are no scratches on them because I keep them in cases, but they’ve also proven to be durable after some accidental drops. I DJ about 4-6 times a month and these always feel comfortable and look great. I love that they come with multiple cords, because they’re all convenient for different kinds of venue set ups. These are definitely worth every penny!

I JUST recieved these today and I am in Love instantly. The sound QUALITY is amazing. I was worried about spending so much for a pair of headphones but these are completely worth it. I love my earbuds when moving around the house but really needed something to block out distractions when I am working.These seem to block out background noise very well.

Five stars easily. Not only beautiful but the best monitors if you’re looking for a flat signal and the best bang for your buck. Great sound quality 💯

Audio Technica is known for quality sound from high to low frequencies and this model delivers on that. Unfortunately, the cups are a little small for my big-ish ears so it gets uncomfortable to wear after a few hours.

Sound quality 5 stars. Ear cups are normal sized. So, if you have gauges (mine are 12mm) they cause ear pain after about 30 minutes.
TL;DR NOT a phone accessory These are work headphones. No noise canceling. No mice. No transparency mode. Cannot adjust of levels. Corded. No bluetooth.
I gave 4 stars because the description is clear (I just didn’t read it).

First off the sound image was narrow and mono sounding. The bass is too much. The comfort, not. The cans over the ears are not wide enough, the clamp/feeling on your head is tight. I tried these because of the many different site reviews.
I have been composing and recording instrumental music and guitar for many decades, I am looking for headphones that can be worn for long periods and when mixing/mastering they would be close in bass, mids, and highs that sound good and accurate on other headphones and speakers. A Mixing/Mastering Headphone.

I got these to use for podcast recordings and I love them. They are comfortable and fit my smaller head/ears perfectly.

Got these to record mixes with, and they do the job nicely, nice noise cancelation when they are both on and can just flip one cup to hear the outside world quickly, comes with nice cables too good quality, they sound good too if you just want a headphone to listen to music on they are loud and base heavy, so if you like club music they are a good choice.

定評あるATH-M50xの限定カラーバージョンです。
標準品よりも価格が下がっていたので購入。
音質は、バランスよく高精細。このクラスのモニターヘッドホンとしては素晴らしいもの。
氷河というよりは「ミクさん」を思わせる特徴的なカラーリングは成型色で、細かなラメなども入っています。
装着感は、耳パッドが小さく薄く硬く、側圧が強めのため、あまり良くない。
耳たぶが疲れるばかりでなく、眼鏡が横から押されるため、顔からずれる。
すぐに社外品の極厚耳パッドを追加購入し、ある程度は改善されました。
※添付画像は、耳パッド交換後です。
3本の付属ケーブルは十分に良質なもの。
ただし、ヘッドホン側が独特のロック構造になっているため、対応ケーブルしか使えないようです。
