Customer Ratings & Reviews

The wings at the top of the headpiece are made extremely cheaply, one broke on me the second time I used these headphones. Can't even use the headphones since they tangle in my hair without the piece in place, and they don't sit properly on my head even if I settle it in place despite the broken plastic. Check the photo. The sound quality isn't to my liking either, although I'm not an educated audiophile so I can't say what exactly's wrong with them. But I prefer my old Audiotechnica M30's, which were cheaper than these when I first got them. Overall I recommend passing on these.

I'm not a sound expert but from my experience of listening to music and playing games (I mostly play FPS games such as Valorant), these sound very sharp and clear. The biggest thing to me would be the depth of sound that I never experienced with any other headphones as these are my first pair of open backs. An additional note would be that I can wear these headphones for hours with my glasses on.

A lot open back headphones can be pretty rolled off in the lower bass frequencies these aren’t. The bass is well defined never exaggerated or boomy. The mids and highs are very detailed but not fatiguing at all. Only reason theyre not a five star review is the fit and some minor duribilty concerns. The clamping force isnt strong enough to prevent them from slipping down my really big 7 3/4” head, and the little flaps on the head band dont really do much to keep them in place. The cord isn’t detachible, and doesnt seem super secure. These are all nit picks and over all i love these headphones.

Overall, I've had a good experience using this pair of headphones daily. The headphones sound good enough to enjoy my favorite music and play some video games. The open back allows your ears to "breathe," so it's fine to wear them over an extended period of time. Note that the head bands may be a bit wide and loose for some people. I put a standard rubber band between the two clips, and they're good afterwards.

Great lightweight headphones, I use them for gaming and love that I can still hear my surroundings.

These are my first pair of open back headphones. I personally think they are great headphones and are very comfortable. Some people might not like the idea of open back so if you can try a pair on I would do so before buying. Overall, they’re great headphones and they are very comfortable.

Excellent headphones and even better with the special pricing! I bought 2, one for me and one for my significant other!

Excellent headphones. I use them for gaming and music and work great with my setup.

Great pair for the price if you're looking to try an open back pair of headphones.

Great headphones that fit odd sized heads. Good sound and fit well.

sounds good for me and was easy to set up with my audio set

bought as a gift for my son. He said they are really good. Probably some of the best he has had.

THE AT ATH-AD500X headphones have a nice spacious sound. Obviously, if you are an audiophile and you get a higher end open-back set of headphones, then they will sound better but these should satisfy most casual listeners. Build quality and comfort were both good for me after long use. The cable is not removable and very long but just use a twist tie and loop up part of it. I recommend these, especially for the sale price of around $85 that Best Buy is having now.
