Audio-Technica's M50 headphones are a standard feature in many studios, but you asked for more, and AT answered that call…

With the premium aesthetics, durable build, long-term battery life, and excellent sound quality, we believe that the ATH-M50xBT from Audio-Technica is one of the best headsets in the market.

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.

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)

There's no integrated microphone for making cell phone calls and the bulkier design makes them less suitable for mobile use

These are essentially the same unit as the original ATH-50 with interchangeable cables. I've owned the original 50s for several years and they're one of my favorite tracking/mixing/mastering headphones. Highly rated by consumers and pros alike and rightly so. I enjoy their smooth response.

These headphones are great and very comfortable than my previous headphones that i had. It does not hurt my ears an it is very portable and versatile and durable.

Perhaps the biggest knock I can give the ATH-M50xBT is that to me, it is incorrectly classified as a monitoring headphone. Rather, it should instead be marketed as a headphone for mainstream, not professional use.

Mainstream sound, excellent battery life, portable; Easy choice for a recommendation

Jackofalltrades; but does not particularly impress in any one regard; whether in terms of sound quality; accessories; or specifications

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

The M50x may be more expensive than the outgoing M50 (which is now under £100) but it's worth it.

Improves on the M50's great design

Pricier than the model it replaces

I have spent a long time looking for a pair of headphones that I could use on the road for mixing and mastering tracks, as I'm an audio engineer who travels quite a bit and it's extremely inconvenient to only be able to work at home on monitors.
