Audio-TechnicaATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, Black (AUD ATHM20X)

As a music producer, it’s important that I have good headphones. I’ve been using these for several years and they have proven time and time again to be an excellent product. First, they are excellent bang for buck as they are top of the line quality at a very low price. The sound quality is pretty great for the price range- not perfect, but good for all of my purchases. Additionally, they are pretty durable. They have been through quite a lot, as can be expected for any product owned by your average teenager. Even through all of the abuse, the accidental volume blasts, ripping out the AUX connector, they continue to work well and sound great. They are very comfortable; even on long producing days with 6+ hours of wear, these headphones haven’t ever really bothered me. Their bluetooth functionality makes them particularly versatile- I can take studio-quality sound with me wherever I go around town. The controls are easy to understand and they have an elegant design.

For under 60USD I have comfortable studio quality headphones that work seamlessly with my AT2020USB+ microphone. These are great for podcasting, and music. If you are using them for meetings, you need to use your PCs controls for muting and volume control. The noise cancelation is great for the price. All in all, a great value and a great product!

Very good quality for the price overall, I’ve had these for almost three years and I still use them almost daily. Battery lasts a very very long time on a full charge, especially when you first get it. Sound is a little better when using the cord. Very comfortable and lightweight. I’ve had to replace the soft covers for the headphones because they started to flake and smell from sweat, but this was a relatively inexpensive replacement. The only flaw I’m now facing is there is a very noticeable delay in the audio when using Bluetooth, so if you’re watching a video the audio will be slightly delayed and not match the video. This obviously is not much of a problem if you’re just using these to listen to music or just use the cord to watch videos. Overall, very affordable and high quality option that I have recommended to many people.

Still holding up well and sound great almost 2 years later. I ended up putting some electrical tape around the metal parts, bc the ear muffs don’t stay at one size well. Easy fix, other than that no issues whatsoever. Battery life is great and always has been.

Really impressed for the price! The best test was playing an 8D Audio track. It challenges the surround sound capabilities and it did not disappoint! Even before I turned on music, the ear phones sealed so well that it almost felt like I was putting shooting range muffs on. It blocked sound that well by just wearing them! Really happy to use these on the plane where I don’t have to worry about charging them or running out of power since it’s corded. Awesome investment. Really comfortable on the ears too on my shaved head.

For the cost, you'd be hard pressed to find better sounding headphones. These are close to being studio monitors, with the convenience of wireless features.These headphones do a good job of separating instruments in tracks and provide a better soundstage than I expected for this price. They are a touch, and I mean barely, warm. Meaning, they are mostly neutral as you would expect from a studio headphone, with the slightest bump in the lower end. Sub bass isn't really present, but I appreciate the modest punch in the low end.Keep in mind, these are not noise cancelling headphones. I find the ear pads fit my average sized head, and smaller ears really well. The seal they create helps block out some ambient sounds on their own. When I'm doing chores around the house and pumping some tunes, I really don't hear anything but the music. I even took these out in public once to get my tires changed. I could not hear the sounds of the storefront or the shop, even as I sat writing at the bar by the shop window. I was able to lose myself in the music and my writing without any problems. I don't find there is much sound leakage as these are closed back, but I also don't listen to my music at excessive levels (~75% at most).The one problem I have with them so far is the fact that the earcups do not swivel much, and thus cannot fold completely flat for travel. I would have also liked to see a cheap case or bag come with this product to help in transporting them. I have purchased the WS990 BT in the past which came with a leather bag that I still use when traveling. I will likely continue to use that pair for work travel, rather than the M20X.One concern I have for the long run is their build quality. They are mostly plastic with an aluminum band for extending the earcups. Being constructed as such, they are very lightweight. On one hand, this adds to the comfort of the headphones as I forget I'm wearing them sometimes due to their featherweight and light clamping force. However, I worry that these could be broken if I decide to toss them into a backpack and take them out more often. With the light clamping force I find that I can shake them loose if I shake my head side to side rapidly. While I don't do that often, I think that anyone looking for a headphone to wear while exercising should look elsewhere, or consider finding a different ear pad that provides more grip than the provided pleather set.For me, these will likely be relegated to around the house wear, when I don't want to be strapped to my computer desk by my R70Xs. I'm perfectly okay with that as I do really enjoy the sound these produce for the money and the comfort they provide. I think they punch above their price in the audio department and are an excellent option for someone looking for a good, reliable headphone for casual wear.
