Versatile, reliable headphones

Audio-Technica's acclaimed ATH-M series offers an impressive range of closed-back, studio-oriented monitoring headphones to suit any budget. Known for their reliability and durability, each model delivers a finely-balanced, accurate sound with a slight emphasis on bass and treble, and the lightweight circum-aural design guarantees a high degree of comfort even during long recording sessions. ATH-M headphones have a relatively low impedance, meaning they can achieve a good output level even on mobile devices with no additional amplification. They also provide a good level of isolation from external sounds, a useful feature for DJs mixing, or simply when listening to music in a noisy environment.

Studio-grade and durable

The ATH-M50x are the best-selling headphones for pro audio use in Audio-Technica's ATH-M series. The proprietary 45mm large-aperture drivers with copper-clad aluminium wire (CCAW) voice coils are powered by neodymium magnets which deliver exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with a deep and accurate bass response. This means the ATH-M50x are particularly suited to the demands of the studio and can in fact rival far more expensive headphones. The ATH-M50x come with two detachable "straight" cables, a third coiled cable, a 6.3mm jack adaptor and carrying pouch. What's more, the ATH-M50x are solidly built, completely collapsible for seamless transport, lightweight and very comfortable. The plush, insulating pads and adjustable headband offer a snug fit and, moreover, the earcups can be rotated 90 degrees for one-ear mixing and tracking.

Value for money that’s hard to beat

The ATH-M50x's closed-back design offers great isolation from ambient noise, making it an ideal companion when recording loud sources, such as a drum kit, while staying in the same room. It also offers protection from backing tracks played at high volume bleeding into the vocal track during recording. Thanks to their linear frequency response, the headphones will also perform well in mixing and post-production tasks, and DJs with a penchant for over-ear headphones will find the ATH-M50x provide both adequate isolation and sufficient output levels to cue and mix, even in the noisiest clubs. And last but not least, people looking for headphones purely for the pleasure of listening to music will be impressed by the finely-detailed highs and well-defined bass, which are rare in this price range.

About Audio-Technica

The Japanese company Audio-Technica was founded in 1962 and at first manufactured affordable phono cartridges. The company has since become acclaimed for a whole range of quality audio products. Audio-Technica released their first headphones in 1974. The company later gained huge popularity among musicians with the release of the AT4060 tube microphone. Audio-Technica focuses on high-quality components at affordable prices. Today, their product rang offers a wide variety of microphones, headphones, and turntables as well as many other accessories.

A jack-of-all-trades for every budget

Whether a musician, a producer, or a DJ – there's something for everyone in Audio-Technica’s ATH-M series. The differences mostly lie in functionality rather than sound, so anyone looking for a reliable, versatile pair of headphones, intended for a variety of uses, will have come to the right place. Audio-Technica offers great products in every price bracket, and ATH-M series is no exception, boasting both studio-quality audio and excellent value for money.

In the spotlight

CCAW-Schwingspulen

In loudspeakers as well as headphone drivers, the coil attached to the diaphragm vibrates in a magnetic field. The aim is to make the coil as light as possible so that the diaphragm can oscillate freely and is not slowed down by its own inertia even in the high-frequency range. While a copper coil has the highest inductance, i.e. vibrates particularly strongly in the magnetic field, an aluminium coil weighs less. Audio Technica's CCAW solution stands for Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire. As a compromise, an aluminium wire coated with copper is used in the coil. This makes it possible to create a very light coil with a high vibrational frequency response.

Very good headphones

David3890 04.12.2014

brought these for my home studio - very comfortable and accurate headphones - can be a bit bassy but that can be EQ-d out. Awesome for tracking guitars

Also great for listning to music

je l'utilise en home studio et en répète de temps en temps. Il fait très bien le travail.
Son neutre. Il isole plutôt bien, grand et confortable, livré avec pas mal de câbles, se débranche au niveau du casque (pratique en répète), super finitions, sobre. livré avec une house mais il est préférable de le transporter dans une boite en dur ( astuce: un vanity de voyage adapté fera très bien l'affaire pour une somme très raisonnable).

schwächelt leicht

Helmut aus T. 22.01.2015

Klang ist rund und ausgewogen, aber eher ein bischen in Richtung HiFi. Mir sind die Höhen etwas überbetont. Gelesen hatte ich auch über den, daß er den Bassbereich überbetont. Könnt ich nicht sagen. Was überhaupt nicht geht ist das dazu gehörende Spiralkabel. Kann man es nicht benutzen, da es immer irgendwie im Studioalltag im Weg rumhängt. Da muß man sicher ein Gerades benutzen. Als Studiokopfhörer mit leichten Abstrichen geeignet.
