Audio-Technica - ATH-M40x Monitor Headphones - Black

Sounded really good until they snapped in half making them unusable. This is a common problem with people who use them a lot. AT offered to fix them at my expense, though it is their problem, meaning their headphones would of cost me double. Keep looking unless you like expensive paperweights.

I treated myself to these amazing headphones for my birthday and did not regret purchasing. The head band is adjustable, and comes with two long cables and an extra jack. The cushions are soft and plush on the ears which is a plus in the cold weather. I’ve also worn them in the rain (light) and no harm done. Speakers are great quality and use them with my iPhone 8+ (bought an adapter/converter cable separately for ten dollars). When I play my music, I only hear that and not the noise from outside which I am happy with.

Get these bad boys. I listened to so songs I’ve listened to my whole life and and heard things I didn’t hear before with this. They don’t really hole sound in well so the person next to you will be able to hear it too. So kids, keep the punk rock volume down are might end up in military school.

Honestly Ive watch tons of reviews on both the M40x and the M50x and I had to go to Sam Ash to listen to them both. I ended up getting the M40x's and Im so glad I did. They sound incredible using them with my phone, my computer and my mixer. Everything is balanced and crystal clear. Its like one of those things where I want to listen to all the music I love because it sounds so much better through these headphones. I have a pair of Beats Studio3 which I will give credit to because they sound really good, BUT they are tuned for high bass response and so its artificial. Even if most people don't know the difference I do because I mix, record and master a lot and I know the way the songs are supposed to sound and that's not a bad thing. Its just a pure musical sound and makes you appreciate music much more once you know your tool for listening is allowing you to hear the content the way it was mastered in the studio. Get a pair and don't compare them to anything else you've ever listened to and try to understand their true purpose. I believe you will appreciate them, and love them... Cheers!

I listen to music constantly, so I have several pairs of headphones. Everyday wear headphones, sleeping headphones. None particularly great, but adequate. Queue the arrival of the new Tool album. I do some research, and scoop these up. Reasonably priced, good headphones. I am happy!

IMO, these are the best (closed) headphones in this price range. I felt compelled to remove one star, because even though it includes multiple cables, I personally feel that they are too long, and wish a 3-4 ft cable was included. The headphones themselves, though, sound terrific and I'm glad I chose these.

Simply put, these headphones are great for the price. Comfortable and clear sound.

I knew the earpads would be uncomfortable when buying this, so I bought some softer earpads at the same time. The ones that come with it are not good for long-term wearing because they tend to become uncomfortable.
