Audio-TechnicaM50xWH Professional Monitor Headphones White

I bought the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x because I wanted headphones that could handle my eclectic music taste—from Beethoven to Beyoncé—and these did not disappoint. The sound is so clear, I can hear every note, every beat, every breath. It's like my music has been upgraded to surround sound.The comfort level is off the charts. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is great because I tend to get lost in my music. The build quality is solid, and they fold up nicely for storage. Plus, they come with three detachable cables, so I can choose the one that fits my needs.The isolation is impressive. I can block out the world and immerse myself in my music. It's like having my own personal concert, wherever I go.If you're looking for headphones that deliver exceptional sound quality, comfort, and durability, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is the way to go. They're worth every penny.

I've previously had the m70x wired headphones so I decided to buy these when I recently purchased a new laptop. The sound is excellent and they are really comfortable. Bluetooth works flawlessly, battery life is more than good enough, and the app is well designed and works for what I need. Wired they do a very good job too. Would recommend to anyone and hope AT do a version 3

I use these for playing guitar through a line 6 pod go ( amp modulator ) and let me say.They are superb, I didn’t think there would be that much of a difference and I was blown away.My guitars sound so crisp and clear, even when using distortion. I will never use normal headphones again as I’ve now seen the light.Buy them!

These headphones are absolutely incredible—they will take your breath away, guaranteed! However, a word of advice for beginners: to unlock their full potential, you must use them with an audio interface. If you plug them directly into a PC without a preamp/amp, you’ll only experience about half of their power and might mistakenly think they’re underwhelming.The frequency range and stability are out of this world. You can push them to maximum volume with zero distortion—every tone remains perfectly in place. The bass is deep and powerful, making music, movies, and gaming an entirely new experience.Now, let’s talk value. These are not high-end €1000 headphones, yet they deliver way beyond their price point. In fact, you might spend a fortune on well-known premium brands and end up disappointed compared to these.Initially, I bought them for professional content creation, but they turned out to have too much bass for my needs—I needed something more neutral. However, for listening to music, especially at high volumes, these absolutely pack a punch!I buy a lot of products on Amazon but rarely leave reviews—only for exceptionally good or extremely bad products. These deserve 10 stars.

I've loved these headphones, I used them almost everyday for just over two years. Id hoped to have them for many more but as soon as I'd unplugged the 3.5 to switch to bluetooth, the left driver stopped working, I did everything I could even opened them and they seem to be broken. Annoyingly they're just a few weeks out of warranty.I'd happily have these again but if they konk out after a couple years again I'd be annoyed so I'm going to try something else.

I was looking to replace a set of Senheiser headphones I'd had for quite some years. The headphones had really seen better days as they are my "day to day" set that get used on anything from a laptop, mobile phone or even my Hi-fi or Sony Hi-Res Audio Player. I own a series of Beyer Dynamic headphones that are souley for studio use. Their impedance are quite high and in order for me to get the best from them I would have to get an additional headphone amp to carry about with me. For me that kind of defeats the object of what I need for my "everyday cans".As I am sure you have all noticed, it can be a bit of a mine field on here, well anywhere in fact when buying things and I include headphones. I am not into "blutooth" stuff, for me they affect the original source too much. I can't bare the whole "Beats" range or Bose. They really do sound like toilet ( putting it bluntly and politely). Once you have taken these types out of the equasion, you either have cheap unknown brands or you have to step up into the real "Audiophile" area which can come at a huge premium and sometimes even then, you don't get the full benefit as they require an external amp to power the high impedance.I had a shortlist of brands from Grado, Senheiser and Klipische to Sony, B&W, Beyer Dynamic and of course, Audio Technica.I used a mixture of youtube reviews, customer reviews here and my own brand experience and audio knowledge. I was very close to getting a set of Grados, but I really want closed back designs as I may want to use them in either a broadcast situation or also in publice. There is nothing worse than being "THAT Person" with heaven knows what bleeding out of their earphones, intruding on other people's space when not only can you not make out what it is, but even if you could, you don't wanna hear it "second hand". So with that all in mind, I went for these ATH-M50x headphones.I listen to a vast array of genres and styles, plus of course whatever a multimedia feed on a mobile device or laptop web browser my throw my way and I am intending to challenge them.There are differing views on whether to "burn in" headphones or not. Now for me it depends. If they are a cheap brand or a "fashion brand" like beats or bose, I really would worry, but knowing Audio-Technica products as I do, their products really do benefit from a "run in" time. I am using a "self made" pink noise track. an hour long on loop (repeat) at 96khz, 24 bit. If you are wondering, which "colour" noise to use, for test and run in purposes always use pink noise. White noise has a slightly boosted top and mid, while the Brownian noise (not to be confused with the brown note haha) has a boosted lower end. The idea is to have an equal balanced frequancy range (which is what pink noise is) and let that play for...well however long you feel. THe usual time is about 8hrs upwards. Of course you can play music through them for that period constantly, but again, I want to burn in all parts equally so I use pink noise.So, anyway, back on topic, I have been burning these in for 8hrs and I am now listening to them while writing this "review".You really have to go a long way to beat the quality in both build and sonic performance of these headphones in their price range. These really do resemble a flat response headphone. What you hear is your playback device and audio file quality. Comparing the same track (bit rate and depth) with these headphones on my Lenovo Laptop verses my Sony NWZ-A10 High Res Audio player has never been so different. Via my laptop's internal soundcard the sound was "ok" nothing to write home about and they sound like I would expect from a £60 set of headphones. Putting them on a decent source such as the Sony....wow! Whole new dimension! Theres plenty of punch, warmth and depth, together with detail galore. Every frequency has "space". At no point do these headphones sound restricted or limited. Mid range is clear and smooth and the highs are very pleasent indeed. They are not "biting" and "shrill" at all. This kind of sound means that long periods of listening won't be fatiguing at all. I then took it them to try a 96khz at 24bit audio file. There is so much "space" in the audio. vocals are very clean and central, acoustic bass drums are heavenly. Lots of punch and depth, yet leave room so you can hear the resonant skin too. There is great channel speration. I find it very easy to "place" things in a mix with these on. Using a reference such as Doug Macleod's Exactly Like This album. It is a very natural sounding, open, listening experience.The build of these hedphones has been carefully thought through. The head band is very flexible and will fit pretty mch any head shape with comfort and ease. The actual Earphones themselves will rotate a full 180 degrees each. Again, making them fit ears and heads of all shapes and sizes. The "height" of the earphones adjusts very smoothly and they have a premium feel in general.In the box they provide 3 different styles of cable. A short one for mobile devices, a longer version for studio or hifi situations and then a "curly" version of the studio/hi-fi cable. As if that wasn't enought they give you a soft carry case (although I will buy a hard case for mine as I have a habit of throwing stuff in a bag when in a hurry).All in all I am over the moon with these headphones. The Senheisers are like muddy plastic boxes in comparisson. These ATH-M50x don't "exagerate" anything to the point of being distracting and "untrue" to the original source, however they will only be as good as the source you use.If you listen to "chart" stuff, you will hear the compression and saturation that happens as they try to push stuff to the limit all the time. If you then try something recorded with some actual "air" and dynamics in it, you will hear just what I am talking about.If you like well balanced, honest sound, suitable for long periods then this is for you. If you have these in a short list. Wait no longer, just put them in your basket and thank me later.
