Great 'Phones for Monitoring and Critical Listening!

You need headphones that deliver great sound. You want comfort. Audio-Technica gives you both — in spades! Plus, their outstanding ATH-M50 headphones won't bust your budget! Want options? You get them! The ear pieces on the ATH-M50 'phones swivel 180 degrees, providing plenty of monitoring flexibility in the studio or the DJ booth. And, if it's isolation you're looking for, these headphones absolutely deliver; their well-padded ear cushions create an excellent seal while giving you the comfort you want — and the adjustable padded headband adds to the comfort factor. You won't believe what a great value you get in these amazing headphones!



Portability is a great thing to have in such an accurate, pro-quality set of 'phones. That's why the ATH-M50 headphones feature a collapsible design; you to take them just about anywhere! Audio-Technica also included an attached coiled cable that terminates to a gold-plated mini-plug (it allows these headphones to sound as great plugged into your music player as they do in the studio). A screw-on 1/4" adapter is also included.

  • Exceptional audio quality for professional monitoring and mixing
  • Collapsible design ideal for easy portability and convenient storage
  • Proprietary 45mm large-aperture drivers with neodymium magnet systems

I read reviews of phones w very strong ,rich bass..these won, I looked at others that were twice the cost and these still seemed to have the features i wanted,, the freq specs, good isolation.. I watc... read more [+]h a lot of video on the NYC subways and also listen to music, I'm a bass player and have very, VERY picky taste when it comes to low end, and yes, this has that thumping,authentic sounding bass you hear in dance clubs, good rock venues..etc. but its clarity is what blew me away..I heard things in my music that I never noticed before, I told my wife,"you've GOT to try these" and she usually doesn't care about such things..when I put on her favorite band,X Japan, there was a song that has all these percussion sounds panned in stereo, auto-panning..all these cool effects that we never noticed before..and these phones brought it all out..she looked at me and asked,"How much ARE these?..I want a pair!" It actually made me enjoy songs I used to just breeze past.. They are very quiet,and isolate the outside world effectively, sometimes i wake up in the morning after falling asleep w them on, and they are comfy for something so snug and big..I suggest getting these, the one with the coiled cable, the straight cable is for indoor use only, the coiled one is okay to walk around with too. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Mike Conyers
I've been using my M50s for years now, and they've never once let me down. A crystal-clear representation of what I am working with, not to mention being extremely comfortable, these are the only closed-back studio headphones I immediately recommend to everyone!

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop
