About this deal

Yes, in fact, the company has quite a few options when it comes to Bluetooth headphones (and earbuds). I absolutely adore my Razer Kitty BT headphones, but they aren’t good for professional use whatsoever because they leak a lot of sound. Your studio experience is enhanced with superior sound isolation and swivelling earcups for convenient one-ear monitoring. You sacrifice some comfort, cable selection, flashy design, soundstage, and any real sense of fun to get there.

I don't have proper monitor speakers and usually, it seems, headphones and speakers try to make things sound good. On one hand, they do fold and rotate similar to a 50x, but they are definitely cheaper and feel flimsier. In music, this makes it a bit more difficult to hear higher vocal registers, especially over a loud drum section.Boasting sleek, modern cosmetic design, teamed up with, undeniable articulate performance, you're in great hand with the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Monitor Headphones. The infamous ear pads are smaller in diameter than many other over-ear pads, but they’re decently thick, and there’s two layers of foam on the inside part against the driver as opposed to one. Although this may be a good thing for most casual users looking for portability, it's a feature you really dont miss in a pro studio and this particular folding system makes them more fragile and prone break. That’s great for critical listening, but not necessarily the first thing I’d reach for in a casual scenario.

The bass bloat, artificial-sounding treble, inconsistent comfort levels, and questionable build all combine to make for a painfully average to below-average headphone in my mind. This product includes interchangeable coiled and straight cables, a carry pouch and a 1 / 4" jack adapter for universal compatibility.

I opted for the M40x over the M50x because I wanted a quality headphone with a more neutral balance. Your studio experience is enhanced with superior sound isolation and swiveling earcups for convenient one-ear monitoring. Obviously I couldn't really glue that back together as it would make the flexibility of the cup position and rotation inoperable, and so I, to my dismay, had to scrap the whole thing. Featuring an active propulsion assist system and renewable energy capacity, we got the opportunity to check it out at the Pebble booth at CES 2024.

It feels like they cut the full 180 degree rotation from the M50X just to say something was different. Some people will not like the size of the ear cups though, they don't fit completely around my ears like some other models but at least the pads are actually pretty high quality on these, much softer than I expected.Intended for professional applications, the M-Series closed-back, circumaural headphones have, in most cases, rotating ear-cups for ease of 'one-ear' monitoring, particularly flexible, single-sided, cables and may be repaired in the field. They are a sound-first analytical-listening pair that ignores pretty much everything else an average audio consumer has come to expect.
