This has to be one of the best headphones that I’ve bought… Period.
\\The Sweetcake//
I received it on March 14 and my oh my the packaging is exquisite that I don’t want to get rid of the product box,open it and you receive 3 interchangeable cables to suit your need whether you want to use the short 1.2 m (3.9′) for your Android or smartphone , the coiled cable, 3.0 m (9.8′) AND the straight cable 1.2 m – 3.0 m (3.9′ – 9.8′) for your studio it will provide the cleanest connection from the ATH-M50x jack to whatever device you wanted connected to , I’ve tried all of the cables for a long duration and they are solid , they muster took great deal making those because each cable feels very thick and durible yet not heavy , that’s amazing. . The cable option is a plus for me and its a good thing that I heard from the internet that there is a version of the ATH-M50 that you don’t need to mod it in order to change its cables .
\\The Build Quality//
Its a mix between plastic and solidity that you should keep in mind because if this was complete build balls-to-the-wall-style then I don’t think Audio Technica would go cheap and seriously this headphone should have cost about 220$ at max , however the feelings of the ear pads and the weight of headphones makes you want to be a little more careful when holding/using it because to me its like holding a white gem (Considering I have choose the white color and its a great color in paint , I don’t see those very often) you can swiveling the ear cups 90° if you want to keep one on your ear and the other outside to keep an ear out .
\\Comfort//
These are one of the most comfortable headphones that I’ve ever had and that’s no exaggeration , I’m a guy who sits on his chair listening to music and I do have the constitution to be sitting for about 24 hours and I can tell you it doesn’t hurt , the cups have this hexagon look in detail and it feels like leather , maybe because it actually is from the start and no wonder really .
I’ve moved from the usage and comfort of the Razer Tiamat 7.1 to this … and you know what ? I’ll throw away a Tiamat just for this.
\\Sound Quality//
Keep in mind this is my first entry to a professional headphone level that’s meant for home/pro studio level of use and I’m kinda on the not know it expert of audio in a way but I do know the essentials that I know that in the ends matters .
I listen to any kind of music that has great melodies,classical music and the “catchy” factor, from Beethoven “Symphony No.5 In C minor” , Pink Floyds Album “The Darkside Of The Moon” to Andrew – Zircon – Aversa’s “Identity Sequence” and Son Lux’s “Lanterns”… It was really a trip.
The lows were punchy and powerful and have more energy then anything , the mids feels right , clear and smooth and the highs were crisp and not sharp but you know that when a mid and high collides together to sound like an orchestra , I can tell you for sure that this headphone does it right .
I didn’t mention the bass though , I like my headphones to be bass natural at best and this one brings it up just fine , it gives me that I’m actually there in the field and I close my eyes , I feel like I’m going to another worlds and its just … Damn, just damn.
When I was browsing there was one reviewer in Amazon who mentioned that some details in Pink Floyds tracks from his “The Dark Side Of The Moon” like Money and Time had a lot of details that he couldn’t hear but he said that the ATH-M50x brings up life to music , I’d like to stand beside the person who wrote that statement because it is true , not only true but its an amazingly true fact with jaw dropping results .
Now keep in mind I hook this up to a dedicated sound card that came with the motherboard for my PC that I use , a SupremeFX X-Fi Audio Card , There is no problems whatsoever .
I hooked it up to my Android Galaxy S III with no need for phone amps since this is a 38 ohms in Impedance , sound quality still great .
I use the headphone not only for music and for gaming too , It gave me an immerse feeling that I never felt I had before in the Razer Tiamat 7.1 .
I also work on mixing and producing music and after closer evaluation I know this is a keeper .
\\The Looks//
You should look at the pictures and videos , I don’t know what to say more then that , it looks like a gem , but then again who cares about the look ? , as long as it delivers what you need .
Overall : If you are looking for a professional headphone that kick the sweet spot right in the ear every time for every thing you do digitally , then this is for you .
If you are looking for a headphone that looks great , sounds great and looks great all for under 200$ then this is for you .
Buy it , you wont regret it .

At first I was really confused listening to these headphones, but then as you start to listen to more and more music you’ll realize that the soundstage on these blows anything out of the water.
The headphones are balanced and by that I mean you’ll be able to hear all sounds in a song without them overpowering each other at first I wasn’t used to it but after owning these for 2 years now I can say these are probably the best headphones I’ve ever had.
They have good noise cancelling and are more comfy than any other headphones I’ve had, they come with multiple cords so if you ever need more length to the cord you can easily swap them out in a couple seconds.
Still having these headphones for 2 years the quality is still like I just bought them yesterday, they are durable and i dropped them many times and they still keep going, normally the hinges would break on other headphones I had by the 2 year mark but these are still going strong,
Overall these are probably the best headphones to invest your money in. Highly recommended

No puedo escribir más que valen el precio e incluso están baratos para la calidad de audio. Cuando me voy al trabajo me pongo mis AirPods de segunda generación y es lo que uso todo el día, pero solo estoy extrañando a los Audio Technica todo el día hasta que llego a mi casa, los beso y me los pongo para producción musical. Orgasmo auditivo

There are many other reviews you can read that go into greater detail about all the specs on these things, but this is not one of those reviews.
I have a set for home (my old plain ATH-M50 which I have had for 2 years) and a set for work (this pair, the ATH-M50x). I can’t really tell the difference (if any) in sound quality as the speakers are pretty much identical. I bought the M50x pair for work and wear them about 6-7 hours a day. I have a rather fat head but these are still incredibly comfortable after hours of wear.
I have several points I like to make about these headphones:
1 – These sound good (like really good, with all types of audio AND that sound quality does NOT seem to fade over time)
2 – These headphones are very comfortable (however, you do need to wear them for a little while so that they form to your head)
3 – While these are very comfortable, if your head/ears perspire (sweat), you should remove them every so often so that your ears do not become a swamp (the plastic/leather cups tend to form a rather good seal around your ears)
Bottom line: I would wear these all the time if I did not have to interact with people every so often. The quality you get for the price (keep an eye on the sales too) is totally worth it.
2 year edit:
After 2 years of using these almost every day at my desk, they are still going strong. The white pair did have a little bit of flaking on the top of the head band, but it is purely cosmetic, and even then, very minor.
I also use my older black pair when I travel, and they still sound the same, 4 years later.
Only complaint I have is that your ears can get a little sweaty if you wear these for too long, but that still rarely happens.
If you are on the fence, buy these, you will not regret it. (But keep in mind, these are not noise cancelling and they are not some hyped up high bass speakers on a band. They are mid-level, balanced, durable, and all around great sounding multipurpose headphones)

Treble & upper midrange quality is brilliant & shimmery. Sub bass is too much. Lacks a bit of mid bass & lower midrange but still sounds excellent. I have used HD800S but I think this ones better. I also used Hifiman Susvara & Focal Stellia, 2 headphones I would take over this but the rest like Clear MG, HD650, HD600, Abyss Diana TC etc and so many more ones are an utter waste of money.
