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

Within 5 minutes of placing my order a rep from sweetwater called me up to tell me that and also proved to me that the reps at sweetwater are pros who know what they're talking about. 2 weeks later I get a follow up email letting me know the phones are on their way. It's great buying from a company like this! close [-]
