One of the two best pairs of monitor headphones in this price range

Diogo N., 25.11.2020

After doing a lot of research for what monitor headphones to buy around the 100-150€ price range, I narrowed it down to these or the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro.
I chose these mostly for the practicality: they are very portable, since you can collapse them, and the cables are removable and exchangeable (two characteristics that the Beyerdynamics do not have).
Having also tried the Beyerdynamics, I can say that these two pairs of headphones are different, but neither is necessarily better. As monitor headphones, they both do an excellent job, and I would say that they are the two best choices in this price range.
The only thing about the Audio-Technicas that I do not rate at 5 stars is the comfort. They are not uncomfortable - in fact, they are very comfortable to wear for the first 30 minutes to an hour. But, after long periods of time wearing them, the band does start do hurt my head, and I find myself having to shift the headphones back and forth so as to change the placing of the band. Keep in mind, this only happens when I wear them for long periods of time, and even then, I think very few headphones would be better in this regard. However, the Beyerdynamics do have a reputation for being the most comfortable headphones out there, so I think they might win in this aspect (although I don't actually have experience wearing the Beyerdynamics for long periods of time).
So, if you value the collapsibility and cable-exchangeability of the Audio-Technicas, choose these. If you value the apparently unbeatable comfort of the Beyerdynamics, chose them.
Hope this review helped!

Very good purchase

GJmoon, 05.11.2020

I would like to say I'm overall very pleased with the purchase as well as with the fast Thomann service. Item exceeded my expectations sound-wise, specially considering the price even though many people praise them.

At first glance headphones might sound a bit too sharp if used to warmer and flatter sound but you get quickly used to and they eventually become your sound benchmark. Lots of clarity and more than enough bass for regular listener who just likes to enjoy the music. They are not perfect monitor (not very flat) but perfect listeners headphones and in general very good headphones in every aspect.

My conclusion would be: They are very reliable partner, go grab them! ;-)

1. Usage:
- home recording
- HiFi
- studio
- rehearsals

2. Used with:
- laptop
- iPhone
- amps
- soundcard

3. Pros:
- good & punchy sound
- good built quality
- three included cables (thumbs up!)
- good weight
- simply fun to listen all kinds of music
- detailed
- no signs of wear after constant use over the 9 months use

4. Cons:
- lack of microphone (cable or built-in)
- can get a bit uncomfortable (not disturbingly) after long listening sessions
- a bit too wide head band for me personally which certainly isn't a deal breaker

Bequemer & ausgewogener Kopfhörer

Air Fork One, 13.06.2021

Dieser Kopfhörer macht direkt einen guten Eindruck. Er kommt klassisch Karton-verpackt mit hübschem kleinem Tragebeutel und mit zwei verschiedenen Kabeln, einem glatten und einem spiralförmigen.

Der Tragekomfort und die Bauform erinnern stark an einen Sony Klassiker. Genau wie sein vermeintliches Vorbild lässt er sich ebenso nach innen zusammenklappen und so auf eine geringe Transportgröße falten. Gegenüber dem Sony MDR-7506 wurden meiner Meinung nach allerdings einige Punkte maßgeblich verbessert:
- Abziehbare/austauschbare Kabel
- Voluminöserer, vollerer und phasen-neutralerer Sound
- weniger spitze und ermüdende Hochmitten & Höhen
- Besserer Sitz der Ohrpolster
- Bessere Bügelpolsterung

Davon abgesehen schließt er genauso gut ab wie der Sony und eignet sich somit hervorragend für Recording, Producing, Editing und jegliche Arbeiten unterwegs.

Aufgrund seiner recht niedrigen Impedanz ist er wenig wählerisch was die Power des Headphone Amps anbelangt und funktioniert auch wunderbar am Tablet, Smartphone oder Laptop unterwegs, ohne dass ein Studio-Kopfhörerverstärker dringend mitgeschleppt werden müsste.

Alles in allem ein guter, wenn auch nicht herausragender Kopfhörer. In Sachen Preis/Leistung allerdings ein No-Brainer mit klarer Empfehlung in dieser Preisklasse.

Great experience

Bored, 30.10.2020

I'm a mixing engineer and I bought this headphones to control my low end more precisely and it does it job. Very good quality sound, clear lows and mids. High frequencies are little bit strong I think. I wouldn't recommend to mix in headphones, but if you have small budget or you're looking for a good pair of headphones for better monitoring control you won't be disappointed with ATH-M50X.

Pros
Great sound quality for great price. There is no leakage when you record vocals with it.

Cons
My head hurts and numb when I put headphones for too long. I also mentioned that your ears can easily sweat after 20 mins of listening.
