Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Over-Ear Headphones - Black

Wonderful clarity!

The sound quality is outstanding, balanced and clear. These have a nice flat response that's perfect for when I'm recording music at home or when I want to hear one of my favorite albums the way it's meant to be heard without it getting muddied up with excessive coloration. I guess my only complaint is the ear cups being able to swivel all over, i'm worried about that becoming a point of failure in the future. Overall, I'd recommend these headphones to any of my friends who do recording.Read full review

Great sounding headphones.

Pros:

- Really great sound.
- Nice balance over the audio spectrum.
- Changeable cable - considering that my last pair of headphones (Yamahas) had a problem with a short in the cable, this is a definite plus.

Cons:

- Need a lot of power for big sound. You'll definitely want amplification with these things. I can use them with my phone, but it's relatively quiet. Not a big deal since I don't do that in a noisy environment.

Thoughts:

I bought these headphones to replace some Yamaha headphones with a short in the cable. Sure, I could have tried to replace that cable, but I'm old and can't do steady soldering anymore.

I used these headphones for studio-type audio mixing (check out Didymus 20X6 on YouTube). I also use them for gaming.Read full review

Solid construction (for this day and age, anyway), long detachable cable.

Solid construction. Detachable cable for easy replacement of the part I always break. Plugs into 3.5 mm headphone socket on my iPad Air 2...with an Otterbox case on it.

Look no further for headphones.

Absolutely brilliant producing headphones. Great quality and super comfortable. 10/10 would buy again.

edit: been using these for 5+ hours for around 2 months, love them to death. Best 100 bucks I ever spent.Read full review

Well balanced with natural sound

These were designed for recording studio use, so the sound is very clean and detailed with no over-emphasis of any frequencies. This makes for pleasant listening with no prolonged listener fatigue. The base is solid but does not dominate the other frequencies like some rapper promoted brands. Highly recommended.Read full review

Great but...

I love the headset, I use them every day for my recordings.
The only reason why I don't give them a full 5 star review is because after a while you really feel them on your ears, they are not very comfortable, so you need to take breaks oftenRead full review

Good price, good headphones, some negatives.

The comfort is great, best flat sound out there by far. They did have a little fuzz/ static, but it only happens rarely. Do buy. They are awsome. You won't be disappointed. Do buy. They are great, they should cost $200. Also, they will last forever.Read full review

Great value for the money.

The sound is good, not to bassy like beats. Mostly plastic, and for some reason, the pads turn out 90 degrees, Who listens to music like that?

The sound is great, it came with cords, an adapter for an amp / soundboard, and a cool pouch. Very handy stuff.Read full review
