Accessible price, no compromise neutral audio experience, immediately comfortable to wear, solid build and ample padding
Largely plastic construction, no controller on included cables, not ideal for on-the-go wear, ears get warm after extended use
Sometimes products exceed expectations, and the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are one such example. At first we didn't think these largely plastic-constructed headphones would achieve their "professional monitor headphones" label, but they abso...
Powerful bass, Good stereo imaging and separation, Great value among peers
Bass is somewhat overemphasised, Isolation could be better
Great sound and good comfort make the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x a smash. Isolation could be better, but they come highly recommended regardless. Next, check out the list of the best headphones in the world....

Abstract: I recently revisited Audio-Technica's M50x after the release of their limited edition “Lantern Glow” color. Listening to this long time favorite yet again, I realized it had been a while since I'd used any of its many companion headphones. Today I'll be c...

Abstract: The Audio-Technica M50x is one of the most popular headphones among producers, artists, engineers, vocalists, you name it. For under $200, it's impressive that this deceivingly unassuming headphone has become such an industry standard, especially in a pro...

Overall, both the SIVGA SV021 and the Audio Technica M50x have their purposes. While the SV021 brings that colorful, blissful sound signature, the M50x focuses on balance and transparency. I think the M50x will still be the king of the budget mixing headp...

Great overall sound, punchy bass, comfortable,
Not particularly portable, mediocre noise isolation
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is one of our favorite sounding pairs of headphones, and offers a great wired experience. They are a great choice if you value sound quality over wireless capability or active noise cancellation...
