Review: Premium headphones at bargain price - Whenever I decide to purchase electronics I always do extensive research into which product would be best for my needs and within my price budget. I review all customer reviews on desertcart.co.uk, desertcart.com, blog and tech website reviews etc. and where possible, will go to stores in person to try/test things out. I always look at the negative reviews and see if I can spot common themes or problems, I go to the highly positive reviews and try and identify which are genuine. Finally, I go through all the 2, 3 and 4 star reviews as these seem to the be the most informative and have specific reasons as to why they didn't get a 1 or 5 star review. My budget for some over-ear headphones was about £250. I wanted something with a good, reliable build quality and also decent sound. I'm no audio expert but I know what sounds good and what doesn't (they are my ears afterall!). I looked at the B&W headphones (fantastic styling/quality - but overpriced for what you get), Beats (again, you're paying for a name...) and various other 'top end' headphones within or around the £250 mark. As stated earlier, after extensive research I settled for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X and wow I'm so glad I did. I paid £124 for them and I thought that because of the low price I'd be settling for lower sound quality than some of the higher priced headphones. But I was wrong. And all the positive reviews praising the sound quality were correct and justifiable. Although built with plastic (I'd have maybe preferred them to feel a little more durable - but it means they are light and good to travel with), they feel good to hold, they are comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. The packaging was professional and to a high standard, very nicely packaged internally also. The three cables supplied with the headphones are extremely useful. They can be swapped depending on what you need. The box does indeed come with the following: Carry bag 1.2m-3m coiled cable 3m straight cable 1.2m short straight cable Gold plated 6.3mm adapter I can sit in my lounge 3 metres away from my TV and watch films with high sound quality without waking up my other half (which was one reason I wanted them!). The PS3 Blu-ray sound on my TV is pretty bad, it's often very difficult to hear dialogue. When your other half is in bed and you turn the volume up to hear people talk, it's not great when something explodes and wakes everybody in the house up! With these headphones the sound is perfectly balanced when using it with the PS3. No mow volume adjustments needed constantly. I've played all sorts of music through them and the sound is crisp and clear. Great bass also. I've been able to hear fine details in some songs that I've not been able to notice in other in-ear headphones. I've also taken them outside with me and travelled around the underground in London etc. and they do a good job of blocking out background noise (without isolating you completely). Overall, I'm extremely happy with the headphones and if you're looking for a decent pair like I was (for any type of use) then these are an absolute bargain. Sometimes it pays to shop around and not settle for what everybody else seems to go for (Beats for example!), and in this case, shopping around has paid off. P.S. I'm writing this review several months after owning them for several months with at least 12 hours usage a week.
Review: Absolutely Phenomenal. - Now I'm not going to go into the detail of the headphone quality, or any of that. Mainly, because I believe that I could not do the headphones justice with my efforts. There are qualified people you can research for that bit. I'm going to focus on what I believe is truly the point in reviewing it from the customer's side, which is the difference between the M50x's (these) and the M50's (the older model). The main difference between the 2 is the ability to change the cable used, dependent on the headphone usage. The m50's do not have detachable or changeable cables, they only have one, which I believe is either coiled cable or a 3m cable. Whilst they are monitor/stereo headphones, this is still a hindrance to a large sum of people. Because of the amazing value and brilliance of the M50's (Well done to Audio Technica), these headphones have caught the eye of not only studio-working musicians, or editors/producers, but also of any of the public who enjoy great, natural and realistic sounding headphones at an affordable price (which for a mid-range market, attracts a lot of people). This however meant that using them anywhere else apart from indoors in their own set up was an ongoing war against the lump of coil or 3 metres of cable that came with it, hence either inconveniencing casual wearers for the majority of the time, or restricting them to indoor usage. When I got the M50's, I ended up using them everyday e.g. going to school, music studies, band practicing. After a few months, I found myself consciously thinking about how bulky the coil cable is. However, the coil cable has got it's uses. And for a musician, those uses were and are very real. The annoying confliction. The M50x's come with 3 interchangeable cables. a coiled cable, a 3m cable, and a 1.2m cable. What the M50x's have done, has basically alleviated me of every possible problem I could think of with these headphones, and you can imagine that when I head of these from a friend, I bought them nearly instantly. I am truly grateful to Audio Technica for fixing a seemingly negligible irk of mine, but has nevertheless been a minor complaint. This is not the only thing they have changed, though. There are very subtle but existing design changes from the original M50's that have also, in my opinion, improved the headphones. The feel of the leather on the earcups, the size of the earcups vs the size of the ear space has decreased, meaning the earcups are more compact without the downside of having a smaller amount of ear space, the M50x's are also slightly lighter and more flexible. Apart from the differences, the quality of the headphones are incomparable to those anywhere near it's price, 10/10 would recommend either the M50's or the M50x's (because I know that now the M50's are cheaper).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the frequency of the technica**
A: Sorry for the late response but if you're still interested, the frequency is between 15 and 28,000 Hz

**Q: do these headphones audio leak?  I want to use them in the office but don't want to annoy people**
A: They're closed back headphones, so they don't leak much. You can have music at a decent-high volume for yourself without other hearing anything.So far no one has complaint in my office.

**Q: hi, i just got these and i feel like the sound quality is not as impressive as i expected. could it be i have a faulty unit or something?**
A: They’re studio monitors; designed for sound engineering so the producer/engineer can hear exactly how the mix sounds and adjust the levels accordingly. If you want something that sounds warmer you’re better off either buying commercial headphones or use a graphic EQ.

**Q: I want a hard case to better protect the M50X, will this case http://amzn.to/1yMdNbq work?**
A: The M50X's fold up in the same was as the Pioneer phones in the image so I should think this case will probably take them quite neatly - but can't be absolutely certain unless I knew all the dimensions down to the millimetre.

*by C***. on 16 March 2024*

If you’re looking for a pair of Bluetooth over ears, look no further. Every professional studio has at least one pair of M50X headphones. This is a studio quality pair of headphones at the cost of the low to mid tier competitor headphones. The app even has parametric EQ! They’re comfy to wear even if you don’t have baby ears (I’m looking at you, Sennheiser BT450). They’re a bit heavier than the competitors, but that’s a good thing. They feel (and are) a very rugged, solid pair of cans. The competitors are lighter and feel really cheap. Stop looking. These are the ones.
