    • The M40x
Style: Headphone
Review Image by Aaron
Review Image by Aaron
The sound quality on these headphones are amazing! However, here are some things you should know about the M40x's before you buy them: Pros: * Tuned flat (all ranges the same, not flat as in pitch, of course), so you should be able to hear all sounds really well * Can get loud even powered off of motherboard audio. * Over the ear, studio look Cons: * Clamping force is strong * Super floppy, sometimes hard to control * Can get a little hot Things to consider: * Closed back. Others can't hear you, and you can't hear others. Limits sound stage, but this is a per-situation thing to consider. * These are studio headphones, so the clamping force is needed to prevent audio leakage both in and out of the headphones. Personally, I love them, but your milage with these headphones may vary! Other notes: * You can make these Bluetooth compatible with [1] and [2] (probably [4] as well) * You can make these a gaming headset with [3] and [2] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Receivers-TaoTronics-Hands-free-Cancelling/dp/B0728GP9XH [2] https://www.amazon.com/Josi-Minea-Converter-Headphone-Earphone/dp/B01GD3OOXQ [3] https://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-BoomPro-Gaming-Headset-Headphone/dp/B00BJ17WKK [4] https://www.amazon.com/L16-Stereo-Audio-Cable-Connectors/dp/B00KL7C10O ... show more

    • Design Flaw Ruins Otherwise Great Sounding Headphones
Style: Headphone
I love the sound of these headphones but Audio Technica must know by now that their design is killing them prematurely. I owned a pair of AT40's for almost 15 years, and when they finally failed I happily replaced them with the 40X model. Unfortunately, my pair - purchased in 2016 - has just broken at the same pivot point noted by others. They were well cared for, not abused. I can only assume a design or materials flaw to be the culprit. Based on AT's inability to fix their well known ear pad and headband shedding issues I must also assume they'll be no foreseeable design change, so I will be looking elsewhere for a replacement. ... show more

    • M40x vs M50x
Style: Headphone
Review Image by sphen
Review Image by sphen
Which headphone is better in these categories? Comfort: M50x - more padding on the head band and slightly larger ear cups Sound: M40x - somewhat clearer sound, the average person might not be able to tell the difference between the two headphones Cables: M50x - comes with an additional short cable the M40x does not include. This cable is an extra 20 bucks if bought separately, bringing the two headphones a little closer in price if you add that cable to the m40x. I think the M40x is the better deal. I will be adding larger earcushions and the short cable, and it will still cost less than the M50x. ... show more

    • Most quality headphones are too harsh for me, but these are just right.
Style: Headphone
I've owned these about nine months now. I'm a huge audio nerd, and I love these headphones! Quick points: - frequency response is incredible. - you won't need a DAC -- they're very sensitive (efficient). - sub-bass is present, if a little quiet, but - they can take MASSIVE amounts of sub-bass if EQ'd - great for people who are sensitive to treble - they're really comfortable -- I can wear them for hours, with glasses - their floppiness takes some getting used to - they isolate sound pretty well - you'll want to buy a different cable (there's an awesome 1.2m braided one on Amazon for $12) They sound /so/ flat. ("flat" here refers to a graph of their frequency response, where a "flatter" graph gives a sound that's de-emphasized across the frequency spectrum -- it doesn't make some notes too loud and others too soft, just reproduces them exactly as they were recorded.) They respond to EQ really well, but I don't feel the need to use EQ on any part of the range besides sub-bass (and only for trap, future bass, etc.). Of course, their response isn't the most even and flat (according to professional measurements I've found), but it's really, really great. What is emphasized makes detail (2kHz to 6kHz) just a little more present, without being harsh. To my ears, a lot of headphones in this price range and higher sound too harsh because they emphasize treble too much. I had that concern with these at first, but for my ears, they're right on the edge without going overboard -- just about perfect. You can practically use them as speakers with a mobile device -- they're that sensitive. You definitely don't /need/ to use a DAC with these. I love sub-bass. I listen to a lot of trap, future bass, and misc. edm where the subbass really needs to speak. These headphones start to roll off around 70Hz, but not so drastically to where these styles aren't enjoyable without an EQ. I could go without EQ on these headphones, but I don't. What's great about these is that you can throw all the sub-bass boost you want at them and they still perform superbly. I use as much as +25dB at 31Hz (on a 29-band EQ) and they handle it excellently. In that regard, I give in before they do. I recommend AIMP if you're on Android so you can dial in the bass just how you want it, if you're into that sort of thing. With other types of music and with podcasts, audiobooks, etc, I don't even think to use EQ with these headphones. Acoustic instruments never sounded so good before, or so true-to-life. And with podcasts, you can really hear the differences in the different microphones people use; it's incredible. They're really comfortable for me. I have a large head and I wear glasses half the time, and even while wearing glasses, I can wear these headphones for hours at a time with minimal fatigue. The earpads and headband are nice and soft, and the earpads reach all the way around large ears. My partner has a small head and seems to find them comfortable, though they can slide around a bit on their head. When I'm moving around a lot, I find I need to really tighten them up to get them to grip when I tilt my head down. This became a non-issue for me as I got accustomed to them. Due to the flexible nature of the design, they are especially floppy. You really can't pick them up quite like normal headphones, and putting them on is necessarily a two-handed affair. The first time I picked these up at a demo, they seemed to abandon my hands. You can't pick them up by one earcup and slip them on one-handed. I find I have to grab both cups or both ends of the headband and then put them on. But that's intentional. Sometimes you want to just pick up one ear and listen for just a second, like when you're trying to dial in something in a recording. For that purpose, the rest of the headphones fall to the side out of the way, and it's very convenient. I was actually frustrated by this at first, but after using them for some time in several different scenarios, I'm glad for the flexibility. Other design notes: they seem durable and they've never appeared to even start breaking. I am gentle with my equipment, and I kept from forcing the hinges when the headphones would flop out of my hands for the first week I used them. I absolutely love that they fold up. This is eminently convenient for putting them in bags and taking them places. The sound isolation is pretty good. Even on airplanes I've found that I don't have to turn the volume up too much. They easily block out conversations and even that one guy who doesn't know he talks too loudly. Adding bass seems to help this. The cable situation is pretty bad. It's kind of weird to include two giant studio-length cables with headphones that will also be bought by average consumers. That being said, I bought a compatible braided cable on Amazon for $12, and it's awesome. It locks into the headphones, it's just the right length for everyday use, and it seems really durable. You'll probably want to buy one if you ever move your headphones from your desk. I really love these headphones, and I highly recommend them for all purposes. ... show more

It's hard to tell in product reviews the difference in build quality among the audio-technica m20x m30x m40x m50x. The cable design and portability differences as well as the audio specs are clearly defined for each set. But most reviews say that the comfort and build are essentially the same among all models. But there ARE the subtle differences to note: Wins for M40x -has more padding on ear cups (see pics) -has stronger headband adjustment mechanism (see pics) -2 sizes of detachable cable short coiled and long straight (NOTE: needs adapter to plug into my iPhone SE with case on because grooves around the tip of cable are too fat) Wins for M20x -headphone cable fits perfectly with my Apple iPhone SE leather Apple branded case on (no adapter needed) (see pics) Note: The M40x is always on the left in these pictures (has silver ring around logo on back of ear cups) ... show more
