From the large aperture drivers, sound isolating earcups and robust construction, the M50x provides an unmatched experience for the most critical audio professionals.

Review: Perfect - Right out of the box these sounded a little too crisp for me, having previously been wearing Sennheiser PC35x open-back headphones. But just a smidge of PEACE eq made these really sing. The lows are deep and beautiful, and the highs are clean and sharp, but neither end being unnatural or pushed. I find these very comfortable to wear for hours at a time, whether playing a game, watching a show, or listening to music. Price was really good. Comes with three different cords. Detachable cord twist-locks into place, and is of a good quality. This is a perfect set of phones and highly recommended.
Review: Best closed back headphones out there. - PREFACE: The last two 5 star reviews I posted on desertcart for two different pair of headphones, they were posted but when I went back to add something, both had been removed by desertcart after posted and said "they went against community standards'. There wasn't anything offensive and they were both 100% positive so I am not sure what went against "community standards", but I am gonna try again with these. We shall see.... I have several pair of open back headphones and only one pair of closed back, which is the Sennheiser HD 280. I wanted a second pair of closed back. I debated between these and the Sony 7506. Rather than ask desertcart's AI which was better (as you never get an answer), I decided to ask Google's AI, as they will state which is the better "all around" of the two. Audio Technica came out hands down in every category. So Audio Technica is was. I should mention I also have the Audio Technica 50X, open back headphones; I ill get to that later. I am not a "true audiophile' like many who post, but I know what I like. I still use my setup fro 1974 which is Sansui receiver/amp, JBL L50 speakers (back when both brands were excellent) and a Technics 1200 table along with two OPPO blu ray/SACD players. Now to the headphones. First, they are powerful and very very loud. I had to turn the volume down to "2" so I didn't go deaf. With all the other headphones I play around "4 or 5". This proved to me that higher "ohms" do not make headphones louder as my other closed back is Sennheiser HD280 and those are 64 ohms, these are only 38 ohms. So that was a lesson learned. Second, they are very well built, comfortable and look great. Third, the sound is very very balanced, even more so than some of my open backs and they have a great sound stage to them, which is not a trait with closed backs but they do. I am hearing things on these I have not heard on any of my other headphones, closed back or open back. Point of reference, the open backs I have are Sennheiser (4 pair), beyerdynamics (1 pair) and Audio Technica (1 pair and it the the 50 X is open back). Why I did my research on these, I was hesitant because the 50X open back , honestly are poor sounding compared to the Sennheiser open backs. The At's have no bass, but these closed backs have incredible bass and treble and neither high, mids or low are overshadowed by the other. As I stated my other closed back is Sennheiser HD280 and I love the way those sound, until now. I have had Sennheisers since 1970 and I am a true fan of the brand, but this particular pair of AT's has just blown me away with its clarity. After becoming use to open back headphones I never though I could ever listen to closed back again, but these have proven me wrong and it pains me to say it sound better than the Sennheiser 280 in all around clarity and depth of the highs-mid-lows. While I am not gonna go closed back headphones purchasing happy as two pair are enough and I see no reason for a third especially with the ATs, I will still continue to purchase open backs but again the AT 50 closed back may sound better than open backs. I am truly love these headphones, especially after my disappointment with the 50X open backs. These are worth the money not only for sound but for durability as they are not all plastic but have metal components. Let's see if this review goes against "community standards"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply Amazing.
*by J***R on March 3, 2014*

As the title reads, these headphones have meet or rather amazingly exceeded my rather high expectations from the m50's. The range of music that these can be used for is absolutely stunning. I've listened to everything from Beethoven's symphonies/sonatas, Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', The Smiths, Kanye West's discography, to even Skrillex. The headphone's excel in almost every category of music. I reassure you that I am not ignorant or naive when on the topic of headphones. I have throughly listened to and even owned the Bose QC15's, Audio-techinca anc-9, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's, Monster Inspirations, Parrot Zik, V-moda M100/lp/lp2, and even the infamous Beats by Dre Studios. Certainly these are not audiophile headphones (as I am no audiophile), but rather headphones that can be used and bought by the average consumer. With these I have found that the m50's are certainly in the top in terms of value for money. Obviously the noise cancelling headphones are priced much higher than the m50, and rightly so. But I have found that when noise cancellation in activated there is slight ambient noise created by the headphones themselves, which in all honestly may not be a concern to most people but it is for me. If you are a travelling person that is exposed to lots of noisy situations the qc15 or the and-9's are the better fit for you. I myself transit much of the time. However, the loudness at which I play my music blocks out much of the noise (with the m50s which is around 50%). It all depends on how much noise that surrounds an individual. Now concerning the sound quality. The m50's are all-round headphones that play all kinds of music extremely well, as stated before. i must warn bass heads that the bass you are looking for may not satisfy your tastes. I found the bass to be just the right amount without muffling the mids or highs which is how I like it. If you want more bass go with the M100's or the Beyerdynamics COP with adjustable bass. Actually I thought the Beyerdynamic's sound signature was the closest to the m50's if the bass level with around 1.5 clicks from the top. Furthermore, the Beyer's are in the same price range as the m50x. Now with the different types of music. The symphonies (especially the Symphony No. 5 in C minor by Beethoven) in Flac format was simply incredible. It was like I was sitting front and centre listening to a live orchestra, with the violins towards the left and the violas, cellos, and basses towards the right. The strings were resonating beautifully. Now on to the late 60's and 70's with Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and many more. There were details that songs like Time, Money, The Boxer, Yellow Submarine, and many more that I haven't heard before so distinctively. Now with a great pair of headphone's I can truly appreciate the sound and subtleties the artists intended for us to hear. The 80's with The Smiths, Queen, and Michael Jackson just to name a few was a revolutionary decade. Once again the details exposed are stunning on almost every single artist and track. People reading this maybe more concerned with modern music and I have to say the headphones do a great job in bringing life to music. The headphones do justice to musical tastes throughout. There are many artists personally that these headphones truly do justice to: Radiohead, Outkast, Biggie, MF Doom, Eminem, Jay Z, Coldplay, Kanye West, Arcade Fire, Green Day, Death Grips, Beyonce, Kid Cudi, Drake, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Bon Iver, Daft Punk, and the list goes on. Simply put, these headphones live up to the hype and I personally recommend them to almost everyone who has a passion for music. The headphones are practically a bargain with amazing sound quality. Full marks from me. PS I recommend FLAC files, the extra memory it takes up is definitely worth it. Also, if you can afford an amp or dac I would get one, the fiio amp/dacs are fairly affordable and do make a noticeable difference.
