M40x Professional Monitor Headphones Black

I don't know about everyone else but it took me about 18 months to make my decision over which headphones to purchase. I had spent countless hours in Curry's testing the headphones on offer.. Bose, Skullcandy, JVC's etc... and never really finding myself happy with how any of them sounded. Mr previous headphones were a pair of Panasonic DJ200's (I think) which I bought from Argos for less than £30. For the price these were excellent - not tinny and not too heavy on the bass. There were already a number of reviews here praising these headphones as being neutral which ultimately helped my decision. I had been so disappointed with many of the those I had tried in Curry's - Bose sounded screechy whilst others had so much bass you couldn't hear any other detail in the music. A previous reviewer had posted a link to some Youtube videos tested the headphones allowing you to compare the sound of the input against the output from the headphones using a dummy head and some pretty smart recording equipment - and these were the most neutral (I prefer 'faithful') sounding - and I guess that helped to swing it for me. The other factor was price - there was no way I could justify paying £300 or so for headphones but did eventually set myself a budget around the £120 - £150 mark. If I hadn't found anything within my budget I would have given up, so the £80 I paid for these was icing on the cake. I use these for movies on my tablet and they perform admirably but it is music where they excel, for everything from Rock to Classical music. Oh and if you are a fan of 80's Electro Funk - you really wont find anything better... Excellent headphones - more than happy to recommend. UPDATE 07/12/17 - Having had these headphones for 9 months now I thought I'd report back.... No problems whatsoever - no breakages, no damage to cushions, I use them every day either to listen to music or while watching videos on Youtube or iplayer and still find them comfortable, and if anything the sound is even better when they have had time to burn in properly. I didn't go above 80% for the first 20-30 hours of use and I think this is important. Unlike some other reviews, I don't find the cushions to be uncomfortable, I wear these with or without glasses and even with masking hearing aids for my tinnitus. As with all wired headphones the twisted cable can be a bit annoying, but I cant really see them being able to truly replicate the sound in a wireless pair. Still very happy, and definitely the best headphones I've purchased.

Well, this is my first thorough review of a product, and decided to do it only because another review tempted me to buy the M40Xs over the M50s. The Good: Amazing Highs/Mids Very nice sturdy design Very comfortable Detachable cable with secure locking system 2x Gold plated cables The Bad: Headphones don't swivel 360 degrees, only 180 Personally, I find the cables too long - (3M), and I dislike coiled cables Take time for the sound to get better When I first bought these headphones, excited I played some music expected great bass; however all I got was a disgusting burr when the bass got heavy. As I listen to Rap/Hip-hop or Dubstep - (I'm assuming many others buying these have similar taste), I thought these weren't very good. I read online that especially Audio-Technicas need to be "Broken into", so I kept listening to my music on full volume, and sure enough the sound got better and better. Now the sound is much better, and sound brilliant with amazing highs, and great bass. The sound quality is very clear, and the sound can get loud enough. There is near enough NO leakage. If you play music without them on, you can hear the music, but when the soft earcups are pressed against your head, no sound leaks. With impressive bass, I found them good, but could be better. But for £80, I would be stupid to complain, as headphones for even more than £100 more can not even compare. Apart from "Breaking in" these headphones, I am very impressed. The main reason I chose these over the M50s is because in my opinion they don't look very appealing, and had no detachable cable. I saw this as important, because 90% of the time the cable on headphones give way first. I was intending to go for the M50X, but I could not justify spending 40-50£ more. The headphones are comfortable enough to wear for hours on end, and the carry case is great for small drops, and keeping dust and fingerprints off the mark-prone matte skin on the headphones; however I don't see matte black as a bad thing, because it looks brilliant. Overall, I am very impressed with these headphones, and would DEFINITELY recommend them. If you are a 'Bass Junkie' as to say, I recommend going for the M50s, otherwise, this is a brilliant choice.

Very useful for mixing and monitoring as it's frequency response is very flat. Not that type of fancy or fun headphones. These are headphones for surgical mixing tasks. Highly recommend.

Ya paketi kalitesi ben aşırı aşırı beğendim, henüz kullanmadım ama bu fiyata şu ürünün gelmiş olması beni çok şaşırttı bu kadar güzel kaliteli bişey beklemiyordum eminim ki sesi de böyle güzel iletecek ben piyano çalarken kullanacağım

Estaba indeciso si comprar estos audífonos o no, ya que creí que les vendría mejor a alguien que trabaje produciendo música o editando audio. Yo solamente los quería para escuchar música y puedo decir que se escuchan muy bien! Vengo de escuchar música de unos simples audífonos de iPhone y quería dar el paso a unos cascos, no quería invertir mucho dinero en algo de 5mil pesos y me encontré con estos y muy buenas reseñas y confirmo lo que dicen: cumplen en calidad-precio. He escuchado muchos géneros de música y en todos se escuchan bien, los bajos se escuchan bien y son suficientes sin opacar la canción (como otro tipo de audífonos que le ponen mucho bajo que te retumba el oído y no te deja apreciar la canción). He escuchado detalles que no había escuchado antes y eso me maravillo, siento que disfruto mas la música y ahora todo el rato quiero escucharlas. Estéticamente se ven bonitos la construcción es de plástico sin ser premium, las almohadas son cómodas. Eso si después de cierto tiempo tengo que “acomodármelos” porque siento que aprietan un poco. Los auriculares te cubren toda la oreja, no tienen cancelación de ruido pero una vez te pones a escuchar música casi no escuchas el exterior (depende mucho el ruido de fondo, claro) Te incluyen 2 cables, uno de 3 metros y otro que parece ser de 1.5 enrollado. Yo uso el segundo porque el de 3 puede resultar incómodo. En conclusión si no quieres invertir una barbaridad en audífonos y quieres una buena calidad de sonido estos son una muy buena opción 👍

Premetto che non sono un tecnico del suono né un dj né un audiofilo esoterico. Sono un normalissimo appassionato di musica che cerca di ascoltarla al meglio delle possibilità delle mie tasche. Le ATH M40X sono per me le prime cuffie serie, ho sempre snobbato l'ascolto in cuffia prediligendo i diffusori e limitandomi all'ascolto della radio con gli auricolari del telefono. Attirato da questo nuovo modo di ascoltare ho preso le Audio Tecnica e devo dire che sono davvero contento. Le ho prese sfruttando la promozione di Amazon Warehouse pagandole circa 50€, sono arrivate il giorno dopo dalla Germania in perfetto stato, scatola intatta e cuffie senza neppure una riga. L'unico problema che ho riscontrato è stato che nella confezione c'era tutto tranne l'adattatore per il jack da 3.5 a 6.5. Ho scritto subito al servizio clienti che mi ha proposto un ulteriore sconto di 12€ in alternativa al reso. Beh che dire alla fine ho speso neanche 40€ per avere una paio di ATH M40x nuove, perfette e senza un difetto. Con due euro di adattatore ho risolto. Passiamo al prodotto: le cuffie sono molto comode anche per chi come me porta gli occhiali, nessun fastidio dopo una sessione di tre ore. Le ho collegate al mio ampli Rotel ed ho ascoltato diversi LP, scusate ma la denominazione vinile mi dà ai nervi...il suono è meravigliosamente asciutto, reale e spazioso. Non ho notato enfatizzazioni in nessun ambito, suono cristallino, sincero e straordinariamente appagante. Sono contento dell'acquisto, sono contento di poter ascoltare più spesso i miei dischi, anche quando non sono solo in casa come facevo prima, mi allungo sul divano, chiudo gli occhi e mi sento nel pieno di un concerto, anche se sullo stesso divano il resto della famiglia di ottunde i pensieri davanti a qualche fiction... Grazie ad Amazon ho potuto acquistare delle cuffie , per me, fantastiche al prezzo che avrei speso per un paio di auricolari bluetooth entry level. FANTASTICO!!!!! Dopo 5 mesi di utilizzo non posso che confermare quanto scritto in precedenza. Ottime

初めてのモニターヘッドホンなので音質についての言及はできませんが、今まで使っていたヘッドホン・イヤホンと比べると、音がより深くまで聞こえるような感じです。 折りたたんで持ち運びがとてもしやすく、ポーチも付いてくるので出先で使う人にも良いかも。 当たり前ですが有線なのでその点は注意 普段使いと音楽制作、両方で愛用しています
