ATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, Black

Great headphones, terrible for mixing. They work great for gaming and netflix, although they are pretty bass heavy. The bass easily gets muddy and messes with the mids and highs. For the price, you can't beat these for everyday use, but if you're mixing music or editing videos get a different pair. The m40x has a much more accurate sound and is worth the extra money. I haven't had any durability issues with these, but the first thing I did when I got them was order new ear cups because the ones that come with it are pretty uncomfortable.

Can't beat it for the price. 6.3 adapter is simple and nice bonus for my turn table system. Sounds great on PC and games. There is a little more bass than I want for games but I adjust that with an equalizer. They sound amazing. No volume adjuster. Just good quality wired headphones.

I purchased these for my clients to use in the booth. They are nice and clear. The last pair of headphones I had sounded muffled compared to these. The clarity is awesome and they are comfortable for long periods.

I bought these headphones to use with my Beacn Studio to have mic monitoring. Previously I was using IEMs with a 10mm driver but decided to buy these to keep amazing audio quality (which this definitely has as they have 40mm drivers). I do want to say the driver size between the 2 doesn't matter as IEMs function differently, but worth pointing out for anyone wondering. The physical quality is pretty good for the price, I wish they folded in more but they look very sleek. The cord is long!! I personally LOVE that as I can walk away from my desk and keep them on. I'm not a fan of wireless headphones and love sturdy the cable is. I do wish I could unplug my headset from the cable but if I remember correctly Audio-Technica has a different headset that can do that. But for $60? I'm not complaining any further as they make up for it with the quality of audio inside the headphones. I purchased the headphones in White and they are beautiful. I love how sleek the appearance is, and it blends in well with the rest of my setup. My only complaint is I can't wear these headphones for long periods of time if I have my glasses on. They squeeze so badly and I personally can't handle it for longer than 30 minutes. That is the original reason I switched to IEMs, but I love the audio quality of the M20x, so I'm only taking off 1 star. Personally, I will continue to use these headphones with my IEMs but only for the fact I wear my headphones usually for hours at a time.

I found a pair of these in my closet that my wife has bought when she was doing Doing Sing Snap. She no longer needs them so she gave them to me to use in my studio. I only used them a few times before they started acting like the cord had a short. Since I loved the way they sounded I decided to order these. After I ordered them I figured out that the old headphones were fine, they just had a bad plug adapter on them. But I can use up to four pairs of headphones in my home studio so I decided to keep these. I love them both. That old pair and the new pair sound great and are perfect for recording. Well worth the price.

Looking for a budget friendly pair of headphones and don't care of wireless technology and ant to remain friends with your wallet? Well then your search has finished. I collect headphones since listening to music all day seems to be a requirement for my lungs to breath, o I can say I have try a lot of headphones through the years, and this headphones get it just right in a lot of ways. There is not such a thing as the "perfect pair of headphones", you should always keep this in mind if you are planing on going crazy with the headphones shopping or if you are just in the hunt for a new pair. Being this said, if your main interest is finding a well sounding-budget-friendly-headphones, this is juts for you. This are monitor headphones, so they are kinda meant or target for an audience working in music studios, which means that sound is very well balanced, bass is not overwhelming at all and I must say is not too strong either, but the overall sound of this headphones is just as clear as it can be! You will not find another pair of headphones this well balance and build for the price. Build quality on this things is pretty amazing too. My hands have never felt a so solid $40 pair of headphones before, my eyes have not seen this beautiful build on any other headphones in this price range, it's just beautiful. Being that said, they are not very stylish but don't have an ugly design either. They are mostly made of hard plastic (very durable feel plastic, like, very very durable feel; Like Fisher's price little baby's car type of feel) with the exception of the adjusters which are made of metal. The fit is very comfortable and they provide just a great sound isolation. They don't get hot or hurt your ears after long listening sessions (I use them 9hrs a day on an average,never had a problem with them) and sound isolation provides almost a sound cancellation quality as the one provided by my Sennheiser PXC 550s. Things to keep in mind: Sound quality is pretty flat, if you are into a more vibrant and bassy sound experience, I suggest checking the M40X instead or the M50X, Cord is not detachable, and this is pretty much the only I don't like from this headphones. Being able to detach the cable adds more convenience to the product, since this makes your headphones a little more durable, since they are easier to take care of and also make it easier to travel. In the headphones defense, the cord is super high quality, probably the best quality I've seen in a wired headphone before. However, since this headphones are meant for in studio listening, the cord is also super long, so if you are planing on using this headphones outside your PC set up or outside your house, you should really take this in consideration. VERDICT: If you want some very high quality budget friendly headphones, this is just the pair you need. This headphones are very well made, sound quality is clear and well balanced (lacking some bass :( ) and they are very suitable for long periods of use. If you want a more vibrant and bass heavy sound, but remain in budget, check the M40X instead or the M50X. And if you still want to remain on this price range, but need more bass for the price, check Skullcandy headphones, they have a lot of budget friendly and stylish headphones and most of them have a rich and powerful bass, though keep in mind their build quality is not the best and sound signature is not as balance as Audio Technica or Sennheiser.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones is the best pair of headphones I have owned. When my other headphones gave out, just from normal wear and tear, I asked my friends and family what kind of headphones to buy, and they all said to get Audio-Technicas. So I took their recommendation and bought this pair. There are many pros and very few cons to these headphones that I will explain later. Pros • The price o These headphones are $49.00, a pretty low price for headphones. The last pair of headphones I owned, HyperX clouds, cost $100, and I can already tell the audio quality is better; but more on that later. In addition to the low price these headphones have free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime. • Audio Quality o Like I previously stated this pair of headphones out performed my old pair in playing music, watching TV or movies, and playing video games. The sound is crisp and clear and has a good range. The quality is really amazing for a pair of headphones this cheap. • Design o I really like the design of these headphones, it is simple and for me I don’t need a fancy design to be satisfied, but some people might want a flashier or more futuristic design. A little con inside this pro is that it only comes in one color if you care about that: personally I don’t. Another part of the design that I like is the long cord, the last pair that I owned I could not even lean back in my chair on my computer using it. So far it hasn’t been tangled too terribly like I expected, but I only use it at my computer so I have not worn them outside yet. Cons • No good place to put mod mic o I use these headphones for playing PC games and talking with my friends so I needed a place to put a mod mic. The one spot that worked, right below the logo on the side, is a little far away from my mouth so I am pretty quiet. This is a really minor inconvenience, but something to consider if you are going to buy a mod mic with this pair of headphones. • No noise cancelling o If you are planning to wear these on an airplane or some other noisy place beware that these do not have the best noise cancelling. They have big ear cuffs that provide some natural noise cancelling, but do not have any real noise cancelling technology. The lack of noise cancelling does make sense with the low price point. Overall I would definitely recommend this pair of headphones to my friends and family. It is a low price with good audio quality and a solid design. The minor cons do not affect my rating. This is a great product and I will continue to buy their products and recommend them to my friends and family.

The low price is obviously based on the low quality construction. It's as if they sell this to you so you can hear the quality and buy a more durable one when it breaks within a few months. My expensive music and gaming headphone add so much auto-adjustments to music and other sounds it cannot be used as a studio headphone. This balanced studio headphone proves that for me. You do not hear a different instrument mix on your speakers when you take off this headphone. I am impressed with the quality and the balanced clarity of each instrument sound on this professional studio headphone. It has a long strong solid cord that give you enough room to stand up or move around with the headphones on; just make sure no one kicks or step on it because this could break the headphone since it can't be detached from the cord. Great headphone just handle it with care.
