Wonderful Headphones

For the price, these headphones are quite a deal. If you are looking at them I would strongly recommend buying them, but also look at some headphones like the Beyer Dynamic Custom One Pros or DT770's that are in the same price range.
Pros:
  • Where do I start? -Build Quality is excellent
  • The headband is very flexible, all the pivot points and rotation points are very solid and work great
  • This is made mostly of plastic, but it does not feel like plastic
  • -Features are plentiful.
Cons:
  • The one minor detail I would mention is the amount of padding on the headband is a little less then there could be
  • It can be uncomfortable for a month or so until you break them in and get use to wearing them.

When we last reviewed the M50 we were knocked out by its performance for just £120. Well, AT has monopolised the M50's lead in the shape of a brand new M50x, and added the M40x and M30x for those who need quality at an even keener price.

Audio Technica M50X Studio Headphones - Black ATH-M50X review

Quibbles aside, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are a modestly improved version of the already spectacular model they're based on, and among the best-sounding pairs you'll find for less than $200.
Pros:
  • The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones offer excellent build quality and very detailed, balanced sound with tight bass
  • They're also very comfortable and have slightly more cushiony earcups along with a detachable-cord design (three cords are included).
Cons:
  • There's no integrated microphone for making cell phone calls and the bulkier design makes them less suitable for mobile use.
