    Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones

    When audio professionals need headphones that deliver truth, they reach for the ATH-M50x. These aren't just headphones — they're your direct line to what your audio actually sounds like, stripped of flattery and sugar-coating. Whether you're mixing the next chart-topper or monitoring a live set, the M50x gives you the honest, detailed sound that separates you from the rest.

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Uncompromising Audio, Built to Last

    Uncompromising Audio, Built to Last

    The ATH-M50x builds on the legendary M50's foundation with smart improvements that matter. You get the same critically acclaimed sonic signature that's earned praise from top engineers worldwide, plus the convenience of detachable cables that won't leave you stranded if something goes wrong.

    • 45mm Large-Aperture Drivers with Rare Earth Magnets: These aren't your average drivers. The proprietary design with copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils delivers exceptional clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, with bass response that's deep and accurate — not boomy or exaggerated.
    • Professional Sound Isolation: The design fits perfectly around your ears, creating a seal that blocks out studio chatter and street noise while keeping your audio from bleeding into nearby microphones.
    • Detachable Cable System: Four cables included (1.2m, 3m coiled, 3m straight, and 1.2m straight) mean you're prepared for any situation, from intimate studio work to mobile monitoring.

    Built for Marathon Sessions

    Comfort isn't a luxury when you're wearing headphones for hours — it's essential for getting the job done. The M50x understands this with professional-grade materials that prioritize both durability and long-term wearability.

    • 90-Degree Swiveling Earcups: Monitor with one ear while keeping the other open to your environment. Essential for DJs and engineers who need to stay connected to what's happening around them.
    • Professional-Grade Earpads and Headband: Designed to handle daily professional use without falling apart or becoming uncomfortable during extended sessions.
    • Collapsible Design: Fold them up for easy transport without sacrificing build quality or durability.

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Engineered for Accuracy

    Engineered for Accuracy

    The M50x isn't about making your music sound good — it's about making it sound true. These headphones reveal what's really there, both the brilliant moments and the parts that need work.

    • Extended Frequency Range: Hear everything from sub-bass fundamentals to sparkling highs with exceptional clarity that doesn't hide problems in your mix.
    • Minimal Bleed Design: Keep your monitoring private while preventing audio spillage that can ruin takes or disturb others.
    • Robust Construction: Built to handle the demands of professional environments where it’s needed most.

    The Professional's Choice

    The ATH-M50x has earned its reputation through consistent performance in studios, broadcast booths, and DJ sets worldwide. It's not the most expensive option, but it's often the smartest one — delivering professional-grade monitoring without breaking budgets or compromising on the accuracy that matters most.
