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.

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.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are the consumer follow-up to the ATH-M50, a pair of headphones designed for the pros that proved so popular with normal folk it seemed silly not to make a slightly more friendly edition.
Powerful bass; Good stereo imaging and separation; Great value among peers
Bass is somewhat overemphasised; Isolation could be better
People are always asking me for headphone buying advice. Not just friends, but co-workers, strangers over Twitter, and people I meet at parties who learn that I write about audio gear. "Which headphones should I get?" It all depends, I say, on what you're looking for.
Fantastic sound; Made for music production, but also great for critical listening; If you're seated and working, they're comfortable enough to wear all day; New version of these classic cans now features three detachable cables: one long, one short, and one coiled.
No in-line remote or phone controls on the cables; Even with the new mobile-friendly short cable, the big and bulky over-the-ear design isn't entirely mobile-friendly; They fold, but not much, so they're tough to travel with; Probably too heavy for walking around town
Headphones are a dime a dozen these days. From wired to Bluetooth to true wireless, there's an option for everyone. That being said, even though Bluetooth headphones are closing the gap, wired headphones are still the go-to for professionals.
The wireless version of the incredibly popular studio headphone M50x von Audio-Technica has plenty to offer. Enticing features include a 40 hour battery life, 3-button remote with integrated microphone, not to mention voice control via Touch Control.
These headphones are incredible! For the price they absolutely can't be beat! I would take them over Beats any day! I use them at the library, work and anywhere else I want to be secluded by my music. They are super comfortable. I can wear them for hours at a time.
The sound, the looks, and the build quality of the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X all combine to make an awesome package. Oh, and they're under $200 dollars too.
Great looking; Great build quality; Excellent sound; Long cords provided
Cord is proprietary; Soundstage is lacking
The sturdy studio headphones from Audio-Technica has loyal followers all over the world and has survived all manner of fads and increasingly fierce competition. One
Open and balanced sound that is so pleasant that you can listen forever
No remote or microphone on the cord
