ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphone, Black, with Cutting Edge Engineering, 90 Degree Swiveling Earcups, Pro-Grade Earpads/Headband, Detachable Cables Included | Cutting Edge Engineering, 90 Degree Swiveling Earcups, Pro-Grade Earpads/Headband, Detachable Cables Included

If you are looking for accurate, correct audio reproduction, look no further. The ATH-M40x delivers that better than drastically more expensive ($500+) "reference" headphones. The most noticeable part of accuracy, particularly with any competent headphones, simply comes down to neutral frequency response, and that is where the M40x is so strong with superior tonal balance. Keep in mind that the M40x has better tonal balance than the more expensive M50x and especially M70x, so if you want accuracy without needing a 1/3 octave EQ, stick with the M40x. If you do have a 1/3 octave EQ, the ability to take measurements and experience to tune it correctly, and a good headphone amp...sure, maybe hunt for a more expensive set of cans and tune them to sound even more correct than the M40x. Otherwise, the M40x is your direct route to reference audio reproduction without having to deal with all that other equipment. The passive sound isolation is very good. I prefer solid passive isolation to electronic noise cancelling in most instances. If sound isolation has no value to you, an open back design may be preferable, but finding something as accurate as the M40x without EQ will be tough. Comfort is good, but I have some other over-ear sets that cost 5x as much that are more comfortable. Since the M40x is a closed back design with strong isolation, your ears do get a little warm after a while. The clamping force is just enough to get a consistent seal around the ear so that bass response will be correct. Build quality is solid, nice, and functional, but not luxurious. The interchangeable cords are really good with a twist-lock jack on the left ear. I expected to prefer the straight cord, but I actually ended up liking the coiled cord even better for most use. If you use electronics to take frequency response out of the equation, more expensive sets can produce better measurements, but it's a moot point for 99.9% of users. Value at this price point is through the roof due to the tonal accuracy. Good luck finding better tonal accuracy at any price, honestly. Unfortunately, everyone has to have their own "sound signature", especially really expensive stuff where they need to try to give something unique to justify the price tag. The M40x just gives it away at a no-frills, no-fuss price. Buy these and enjoy re-listening to your favorite recordings to hear what they are really supposed to sound like!

I was looking for a portable headphone. But didn't want to spend a lot of money either. And they needed to be tough as I was going to put them on my backpack to use them working on the road every day. I found this model hit the $$ range I was looking for and had pretty good reviews around so I gave them a chance. I got them for around $86 in "Like New" condition from Amazon Warehouse Deals. MSRP is actually $139, but they go normally here on Amazon for $99.. so all in all.. a good deal.. they seemed new to me... just the box had some scratches, but nothing I would care about... Now on to my thoughts so far NOTE: These headphones and the Sennheiser HD600 are the only headphones I've had worthy of mentioning. I also don't have any other headphones with me to compare them to in the same price range or any other range. Not even the apple earbuds that came with my iphone5 (don't miss them at all). I also have not had experience listening to a lot of good quality headphones except for my HD600. So as unfair as it is...all my thoughts are in comparison to the HD600s which is still the superior headphone and an awesome value and my point of reference in evaluating the m40x which after all, have surprised me quite a bit! First, they sounded very promising! But they weren't very comfortable. The stock ear pads are a little small for my big ears. They sort of cover all of my ear, but its not as comfortable as my HD600s and their huge pads. So looking around I found the Brainwavz Replacement Memory Foam Earpads here on Amazon as well. These fit perfectly and were free (thank you Amazon gift card!). They didn't affect the sound signature a whole lot really...if anything since I now have a perfect seal, the bass is actually what I think should sound like for those who can achieve a good seal with the original pads... These headphones are tuned flat as per manufacturer's description and there is also this video on YouTube [ http://youtu.be/sj69-mWHV3E ] that compares the different versions of the m##x series of headphones, and indeed, the m40x sound almost identical to the source. So having a neutral headphone was appealing to me, and with the new earpads, I don't notice any frequency range dominating the rest...I think these are still pretty neutral but the pads make them WAY more comfortable....I Recommend them Highly! These headphones are definitely more forward than my HD600, but nothing gross.. I actually kind of like a bit. After a while, I kinda stop thinking about it. They have very good sound staging. They work better in portraying sort of an arc in front of me and I also notice a little better instrument separation too. The HD600 I find is more detailed still, and more natural sounding. Instruments like acoustic guitars and such sound more real/believable, but the m40x work a little better for me in presenting them a little more in front of me than in between me. The angled drivers are definitely making a difference here, because I never noticed this from a set of closed headphones before. They mate very well with the Geek Out 450 USB DAC/Amp (What doesn't?!) I do notice a big volume change when I hook them up after the HD600 but that's expected. Still, they benefit a lot from the power provided by the GO450 vs my iphone 5 or laptop headphone port... also expected... They have awesome sound isolation (especially with the new pads). The effect is very similar to wearing my 3M over the ear earmuffs from work. This is a big plus for me as they are going in my backpack with my GO450 every day for work and I'm always in noisy environments...I also travel a couple of times a year and I can see this kit working for me very well during flight time. All in all, I am very pleased with these headphones and it's an easy recommendation for someone looking for a good headphone without braking the bank! Happy camper here!! Worth every penny! Now back to my music!

Honestly, I'm a little pissed off. Not because these are bad, but because the 40x doesn't get enough credit for being one of the top best studio headphones to date. The majority of the people choose its bigger sister, the M50x, which don't get me wrong, the M50x is also a great studio headphone, heck, just the M series are great sets of studio headphones, but reason saying these dominate the rest really is that these cans will be the closest to neutral quality when monitoring your music. The thing with the M50x is that they added an extra cable and "more color" to their sound by dosing up the treble and bass a little bit. And I'm not just saying this one dominates the rest of its sisters because of its best neutrality, it dominates ALL STUDIO HEADPHONES. Don't believe me? No thanks to SoundSensePro, their YouTube videos can prove it to you. Now of course there might be a few exceptions with some other top-end audiophile headphones that are great for monitoring, but most of them are expensive and they require amps to get the same studio quality, where you could just get these, no amps required for good neutrality, all around $100. These have a nice build quality, nice comfort to the ears, although it could be better in my opinion because it takes some adjustment ever once a while and feels a little tight, otherwise I can listen to these for hours, and surprisingly these have great noise isolation, but I mostly will be talking about the main purpose of why these cans are great, which is the sound you get from them. I have been to several sound boards and monitor music with a variety of different studio headphones (Sony MDR7506, Sennheiser HD 280 Sennheiser HD 650, etc.), and ever since I picked up these headphones I know this is going to be my main source from here on out. Here's the thing with studio headphones: the goal is to make them as neutral as possible (not flat. There is a difference between flat and neutral sound) so you know that you're picking up the same exact audio from its main source. Now because bass is very common nowadays, most studio companies think that in order to get a flatter sound, the more bass you need to take away from it so it doesn't "eat-up" the mids and the highs. This doesn't mean you can't hear the lows, it's still rather noticeable, but the issue is you're not getting an idea of how much bass is being applied to the audio, and you need that. These headphones not only monitor bass (and it's just the right amount of bass to monitor as well. You don't want too much bass or too little), but you get to monitor with a great soundstage performance on the M40x. Now another good headphone I encountered in a recording studio is the old Audio Technica ATH-M40 f/s, which took an hour for me to compare the difference between those and the M40x because they were that close. The only difference I could pick out of them is the M40x is more enhanced with its soundstage and stronger noise isolation, still making these a whole lot better. These are worth every buck if you are looking for best neutral sound. Only thing I would say to be aware of is its portability and durability. It only comes with a handbag if you want to bring it around, the headphones are bigger than they appear, and even though it has great build quality, most of it is made of plastic, so if you are a DJ and want to bring them wherever you go, just don't be surprised if they break. These are more for staying at your home or sitting in a recording studio for listening than going place-to-place constantly. Will keep you guys updated when I start experiencing trouble-issues.

Second (or third) pair the same headphone, broke the same way. First time was my fault the hinge snapped when I sat on it. Second time just through normal use I had the hinge snap. The hinge in these uses a little plastic part that connect the cup to the band so replacing it was annoying and even then doesn’t work well. On the good side of things the sound of these is very good, closed back so when the volume is up you get immersed, flat response for music, and no complaints there. They fold up when packaged (using said broken hinge) and detachable cable. It comes with a long one and a coiled cable with a leather bag. Overall recommend them just be gentle with them.

I was looking to upgrade my OneOdio headphones on a budget and in my research I happened to stumble upon the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, which pleasantly surprised me for the under $100 price point (I had purchased it Used -- Mint Condition, although it not much more expensive for New). These headphones fit snug and comfortably on my head and ears, although granted I have smaller ears and I can see them being uncomfortable on bigger ones. They also come with two types of chords: standard and coiled (and I assume the coiled is for instruments or other recording/producing equipment with accommodating audio jacks), the length of both of which is ample, allowing you to step off a good distance from your setup even with them on if need be. They're also lot smaller and more lightweight than I had anticipated, but is fits perfectly in my personal setup. Lastly, these headphones comes in a sleek black aesthetic and are mostly plastic with metal in the extending mechanic. The pouch that it comes with is also black and leathery. The sound definition across the entire range is considerably more pronounced than my previous headphones, and I truly feel like it makes it easier to mix in my music production. Before purchasing these, I also saw other patrons praise these headphones for its noise-canceling abilities, and while they do not come with a standalone noise cancel feature, they fit in a way that greatly dampens external noise. The only complaint I really have about these headphones are that while the chord plugs into the left headphone, it folds in the opposite manner and I have to take them off and put them back on to rest on my neck. One final side note is that the way the chords plug into the headphones initially bewildered me because they don't plug straight in and I didn't really think the manual did a good job explaining that. But essentially the bigger prong connects to your computer/equipment and the smaller prong you have to insert and twist to prompt a clicking noise that means a successful connection. Overall if you're tight on money yet want to invest in your music career, I would gladfully recommend these headphones by Audio-Technica. The price, fit, chord length, and sound quality all work in tandem to make these headphones a solid budget option.

First of all, I will only do a short review in regards to the sound quality, comfort, price value and design since I've only bought these 2 days ago. As soon as I can open the headphone and try it on, I opened several song I've had from a playlist I complied filled with various genre. I start the test with a simple classic music like Vivaldi to test how good the treble is. As I've read in some review, it does sound really crisp, crystal clear with all of the instrument sounds flow very smoothly. You can hear the detail of each musical note without sacrificing the grandiose of the background noise. It's truly fitting if you love classic. And just a quick comparison, this strong treble equally match my Sennheiser HD 518 series, which is a very one sided due to its treble heavy, though it's still pretty balance overall. So I go play a more bass heavy track right away to make sure that it's trebly one sided like my Sennheiser, I choose this one indie song that use plenty of bass. Surprisingly, it produced a very solid bass, equivalently of the so-called beats with their bombastic bass caliber. I can still sense the bass heavily presence without the cost of overpowering the treble. Also, it doesn't sound artificially enhanced or feel forced. A quick comparison I can make is with the now popular Sony MDRXB950BT extra bass. I tried the Sony during the the thanksgiving sale on Best Buy, while they're boosting about the discount. While the Sony certainly offer more punch to the bass, I noticed quickly that it sounds a bit too artificial despite the added richness of what it promised. And I tested the bass without the extra bass mode turn on, it's already empowering the treble, as if it's made exclusively just for bass heavy song. I just felt all bass and nothing else, a sign of unbalance sound quality. And this is without the extra bass mode, I can imagine that listening to music the mode would be like putting your ear right next to a mini boom box. Unless you're a bass head or just someone who only cares about bass, then you shouldn't choose the Sony over this audio Technica, amidst the Bluetooth, mic, and music control or heavy discount. At the time of the test, the Sony has had its price already go down from $200 to $88. Nonetheless, you buy a premium headphone for the sake of quality for which even a discount price like this is irrelevant. As far as the design goes, it looks nothing fancy or fashionably friendly like those overpriced beats can or its cheaper counterpart The skullcandy. But overall, the headphone still looks pretty slick and friendly looking enough that it won't make you look lame wearing a non-trendy headphone. Last but not least, I bought this for $74 thanks to limited thanksgiving discount. The original price is $139, which is still cheaper than the Sony with its $200 price tag due to the Bluetooth connectivity. Most importantly thought, this one is a lot more balance and sounds way more natural than the latter. So if you're an audiophile or just someone that prefer the more naturally sounded headphone, then you'll should get this Audio Technica M40x over the Sony MDRXB950BT. I recommend this to anyone that care for the full listening experience of their music in its purest form without breaking your wallet. It's a very good but worth every penny, overall.

These are fabulous. Usually, I try to give the bad points first, so I'll try, but they don't really take away from my five star rating. The bad: The collapsible design is actually kind of annoying when you have these laying around. They tend to collapse so that you have to straighten them out again to put them back on, and since you can't rotate all the way in some directions, that means a little more plastic shifting about than I would like. It does also exert a little more clamping pressure on my head and weigh a little more than I like, but it's not too bad, and that's coming from someone who's not used to it. If it bothers you, put it on something wide for bit. Because it has accurate sound reproduction, remember that it will show which files have poor sound quality in your library. You might learn to hate autotune more. And pointless reverb. The good: Sound reproduction. It's just right. It's like I'm Goldilocks and someone just served me warm porridge with honey and milk, and a perfectly sized chair. I listen to a wide variety, from classical and jazz, showtunes, alternative/rock, dance, rap, and they all sound good. The volume also gets loud enough that if I turn it all the way up, I can set it next to me and listen - mostly because it would be painful if it was still on my head. It's comfortable enough. Yes, Bose is more comfortable, but they can't beat Audio-Technica for sound quality at this price point (in particular, stay away from SoundTrue). The build quality is also worth commenting on, because it's kind of clunky, but extremely sturdy. I can drop it, step on it a little, and it doesn't even notice. The cord is also a nice, thick, flexible rubber. Some reviewers have said that the straight cord is too long, but I love it. I can plug it into something on the other side of my (large) bed and lay back, move around without worrying about the tensile quality of the cord pulling my tiny laptop off my desk or something. I think the best part is that I won't see the need to upgrade this for a very long time, both because it clearly won't die, and the sound reproduction isn't - well, irritating. There's no over-emphasis on the little lip sounds singers make, overly mellow/warm tone on everything or bass that won't stop thudding and muddling. In terms of transitioning from average earbuds and having never owned anything truly flat (don't roll your eyes at me, audiophiles!), I can hear all the parts that make up my music more clearly, and the vocals and bass are just barely less boosted, and I no longer feel like my skull is being used as the echo chamber for my music. I bet that it's a lot less claustrophobic on long flights. Well, I think I've rambled on long enough. Thanks for reading, hope it was helpful!

I originally bought the ATH M50x's and returned them (thank you Amazon for making it so easy), because I felt too much bass intrusion --and a less forward midrange. I did a lot of additional listening to other closed headphones that I could borrow or find in retail stores that fell between $100 and $200 price range. These included the Brainwavz HM5, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and HD 380 Pro, AKG K 240 MK II, and others. (The one set of cans I didn't try--and wish I would have to compare these against--are the NVX Audio XPT100. I know they are supposedly Brainwavz HM5 clones but because of their very different earpad architecture, may have a very different sound signature that is also appealing. Anybody who has, please drop me a note here.) I eventually decided on the ATH-M40X for a simple reason: While they are "flat"-- as in pretty accurate--like some of the other reference items mentioned above, they have just enough "color" to offer a solid signature, particular in the midrange where so many sounds get lost these days, without sacrificing bass or highs. I realize this is a personal preference, and if I were a true studio recording engineer, this might have been a downside instead of a plus, but all listening is subjective. I have read some listeners have had minor issues with sibilance on female vocals, but I did not find that to be true at all. What I got were crisp, accurate--not harsh--highs (maybe lower bitrate mp3s would have this problem, but I never listen to anything below 320 kps, and usually lossless, vinyl and CD quality recordings) and there is plenty of tight bottom without the muddy, flabby loose feel in many modern headphones--even in dance music and hip hop. I found separation excellent, sound isolation is very good (they are closed)--if not exceptional--and listening with and without a headphone amp pleasurable and comfortable right out of the box. The sound has only gotten better with use. I have an average size head and do wear glasses, so a few hours (5-6) of listening was quite easy. The M40x is for my home critical listening, they don't require an amp due to the smaller drivers than the M50x and can easily be driven by a smartphone or tablet and provide plenty of non-distorted volume. That said, using am amp, they can be driven without distortion. (Admission: For all day use --nine hours minimum-- I review music for a living--I use Sennheiser 439s, but not because they are better sound-wise, but because they are so lightweight and the pads so comfortable, I can wear them for 12 hours without a break.) These phones are also solidly built, contain two detachable (primary) cables, an adapter plug and a carrying bag. I bought a case, but really, these are hardcore physically and shouldn't need it, I'm just obsessive. For the price range I was seeking, I couldn't find any cans I liked better than the M40x.

Per il mio lavoro di montaggio video nonché per il puro piacere personale di ascoltare musica (di vario genere, dal metal alla musica classica), avevo la necessità di acquistare un paio di cuffie ben bilanciate, comode e che mi isolasse adeguatamente dall'ambiente circostante. Dopo una serie di ricerche e dopo aver provato le Sony MDR-7506 che non mi avevano convinto per via dei medi forse un po' troppo presenti, ho scelto di acquistare le Audio Technica Pro ATH-M40X. Mai fatta scelta migliore! Dal punto di vista sonoro le trovo perfette e soprattutto bilanciate, senza picchi negli alti né nei medi, e nemmeno nei bassi che, contrariamente a quanto mi era capitato di leggere, sono presenti e a mio avviso pure in giusta dose. Quando indossate, le cuffie isolano adeguatamente dall'ambiente circostante, abbastanza da consentermi di restare concentrato sul montaggio e sentire eventuali suoni o rumori solo quando non è in corso alcuna riproduzione. Per quanto riguarda il comfort, le ho trovate inizialmente un po' dure, sensazione che poi è sparita con l'utilizzo e l'ammorbidimento dell'archetto, tanto che ora le uso per diverse ore senza problemi. Comodissima la possibilità di scollegare il cavo e alternarlo con il secondo in dotazione in base alla necessità di utilizzo. Presente all'interno della confezione anche una pratica sacchetta protettiva che consente di riporre le cuffie e proteggerle quando non in uso o durante il trasporto. In conclusione, vi consiglio vivamente le Audio Technica Pro ATH-M40X qualora siate alla ricerca di una cuffia circumaurale dall'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, comoda, con un buon isolamento, e soprattutto ben bilanciata dal punto di vista sonoro.

I love and hate these headphones. I love being able to change cable, 2 cables inside, also lot of cables available to buy, even with microphones. I love and hate this free angle design, sometimes is annoying and sometimes is good to have. Sometimes my skin gets caught when opening. Build quality is great, read that they can break easily but can't say anything after a month use. When using for monitoring, perfect. Bass is flat which means it's not bass heavy. Lets just say if the bass is boomy on these, something is terribly wrong. So the sound is really flat. I mean really "terrible for listening" flat. Middle is really there. They can be really loud because of lower bass. You can hear all the mistakes, even if you never knew there were any. Stereo imaging is awesome, if something is out of balance you know it and you hate it. Highs are flat. You can hear the clarity, but you feel like you need to volume up. But you don't need to. I have had a lot of headphones and this ones are something different. Let's now say something about normal casual listening. Loudness is good on iPhone 6. On iPad mini 2 is great. MacBook Pro - excellent, even too much power to handle if used with Boom 2. Lack of bass and lower ohms mean they can be used as standard headphones but I suggest buying shorter cable with thinner 3.5 jack. I have Spigen case on my iPad and jack can barely connect. If you try to be smart and really boost the bass, you can slightly hear the difference between two ear cups in lows. Probably because of socket which is using some space in one earcup which is free in another. Probably that's why they're cheaper and less bass boomy than M50x. So don't think you can outsmart them, pay more money for m50x if you need more bass. Also, comfortable as presented. I don't sense them on my head, light and enjoyable. Would not use them only for DJing. Would rather buy Technics RPDJ1210 again. They block a lot of noise from outside, that is true, but they are not as good as Technics. Can be used for DJing, true, but there are better choices. Also, even if they're on your head, people around you can hear what you're listening. If you're sharing room with someone, they will hear the music. So overall, great headphones for under 100. Great flat sound for monitoring. If you like bass go for m50x. If you need flat monitor headphones buy these. ============================== So after more than a year a review still stays. Sound is amazing. Build quality amazing. Comfort is not the best one though, however that's always problem with closed headphone, read the below for more information. Just to add I have tested M40x and M50x one by one on the same source and I can tell you M50x sounds different with more bass and treble. They ARE NOT that much better. If you are more into casual listening, M50x would be better choice. However, true flat sound is coming through M40x, not M50x's. I can easily confirm that. I can change my headphones to M50x's as that is "Better" model but I will not do that as M40x have more balanced sound. M50x is more as HiFi choice by far as per comparison. So only issue I can add after more than a year of using them is that they are NOT comfortable, not at all. First I thought they are good however I have tested other brands in a while and there is a huge difference. They are really tight (had same issue with DJ headphones however that is good, not bad) and you just cannot used to have them on your head after some time, it's just frustrating to have them for a longer period. However sound is something you will absolutely love or hate. If the score is between 1 and 100 I will give them 94 without any issues. After them K240 MK2 Studio headphones sounds dull and with something missing. However K240's are 10 times more comfortable to have on head. ======================= Update 03.01.2019 With sad news after more than 2 years I can say I no longer have these M40x. I just don't need them anymore. It's like an old car which you don't need once you both latest BMW. I have moved to M50x and I can say that although there is a lot of hatred going to them, M50x is still an upgrade from M40x. M50x has more treble and more bass, some people say that is unnatural however it is just different and actual improvement. Driver moved from 40mm to 45mm hence the difference. I can say that after a while I haven't even realised that big change as the change isn't that big. So if you will not miss bass or high treble then spending less for M40x is better choice as I noted before. Only thing left is that M50x does feel more expensive than M40x. You get extra short cable (which you don't get with M40x) so if you count that cable being £20 then difference falls in really narrow field. ONLY thing I can say now that much MUCH better choice which I can say replaced my M40x sound is SHURE SRH840. This headphones are amazing, sturdy design, Excellent balanced sound and flat response. I use them for monitoring. Not as portable as M40x due to different build but damn, these SHURE's are something. I should do some webpage review as now I have Magni 3 for a proper review and have tested DT770, DT880, K701, K240 mk2, SRH840, M40x, M50x. I still stick with K701 with bass mod as best causal home listening headphones however others still have significant use in other cases like monitoring/producing/mastering. Also, I will touch one thing which this headphones are like selling which is FLAT SOUND. You will NEVER get Flat sound in headphones. NEVER. There is either Middle spectre based Headphones which these are, or V shaped Bass/treble headphones. Reducing Bass does improve flatness of sound however also removes sound picture and extensive response. If you truly want FLAT sound go to Monitors with sound isolated room. I can for sure say that there is much much more image and sound with DT880/DT770 than from M40x, hell even from M50x. On 250ohm version these show something that you will not hear even with super extra expensive monitors. That is the reason I will not part ways with them as for critical listening they are as brilliant as it gets. However listening youtube videos on them is so bad experience that I don't wish anyone to experience. Run away from them if you do wish to do that. Or buy Sony.

Compré estos auriculares después de ver varios test en Internet y en Youtube. Tenía unos Senheiser que acabaron muriendo por el cable (pelado y roto). PROS: - Los ATH-M40X no llevan el cable unido al auricular, sino que vienen con una entrada específica. Como vienen con los cables aparte (aparte en el sentido de que no van físicamente unidos, porque, por supuesto, se incluyen en el pack), eso quiere decir que nunca más volveré a tener que tirar unos auriculares que siguen funcionando sólo porque se les ha roto el cable. - Acompaña dos cables, ambos con clavija de conexión de seguridad al auricular: uno corto, ideal para uso doméstico o en viajes, y otro largo (5m), ideal para monitorizar en casa y moverte sin problemas) . La clavija, como comentaba antes, tiene un click de seguridad. Así que los cables nunca se van a soltar accidentalmente. También trae un adaptador de minijack a jack, enroscable (nuevamente un detalle "pro"). - El sonido es lo mejor: preciso, nítido y muy fiel. Estos auriculares "no mienten", no colorean el sonido, no potencian los bajos artificialmente. Por supuesto, tienen calidad más que suficiente para escuchar música de cualquier tipo en cualquier formato, pero para lo que realmente están pensados es para monitorizar tus propias producciones musicales. Hay gente que se queja de que no tienen la suficiente pegada de bajos, pero ese es el típico comentario de quienes únicamente quieren "tralla". Si quieres unos auriculares para que te estallen los oídos con unos bajos infernales, mejor cómprate unos de 30 euros, que cumplirán mejor esa función. - El acabado. Sin ser excepcional, sí que transmiten sensación de calidad y solidez. Se nota que van a durar tiempo. Y, además, tienen múltiples opciones de plegado, giro, etc., lo cual los hace muy cómodos si estás monitorizando y no quieres estar poniéndotelos y quitándotelos todo el rato. Por supuesto, al cabo de un tiempo prolongado de uso acabas sintiendo molestia, pero eso es completamente normal y pasa con cualquier auricular. El aislamiento acústico, sin ser total, es bastante aceptable. - Precio. Estuve revisando varias opciones (de las típicas marcas conocidas por todos) y, definitivamente, no hay ningún otro fabricante que ofrezca la calidad y el diseño con características "pro" al precio que tienen estos. - El embalaje es de muy buena calidad y acompaña una funda de piel para guardarlos mientras no los usas (una nueva muestra de atención al detalle). CONTRAS: No les he encontrado ninguna contra por el momento. Cumplen al 100% con todo aquello por lo que los elegí. Obviamente, no son los mejores auriculares del mundo, pero a mí, personalmente, no me vale la pena gastarme 3 o 4 veces más para obtener una diferencia de calidad apenas imperceptible a mis oídos.

Very useful for mixing and monitoring as it's frequency response is very flat. Not that type of fancy or fun headphones. These are headphones for surgical mixing tasks. Highly recommend.

I use this with a Yamaha Clavinova. The sound is just amazing. This is really the kind of use it is made for. The sound is so clear and balanced, you can hear the timbre of each note and all the nuances of varied touch on the keyboard. On a side note, tried it with music on my phone, and it does not do so well with this kind of use. Buy it if you're looking for something for your digital instrument - it really is excellent for that.
