Audio-Technica ATH-M50X

Why we recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

The ATH-M50x is a wired, closed-back over-ear headphone suited to studio monitoring, home DJ practice and cueing. Its earcups provide passive sound isolation, while the 90-degree swivel lets you monitor with one ear when mixing.

Features that matter

• 45 mm drivers: designed for detailed monitoring with a full low-frequency response.
• 90-degree swivelling earcups: useful for one-ear DJ cueing.
• Collapsible design: folds for more convenient storage and transport.
• Detachable cables: includes coiled and straight cable options, plus a 6.3 mm (¼-inch) adapter for compatible DJ mixers and controllers.

Before you buy

This is a wired headphone with passive isolation, not a Bluetooth or active-noise-cancelling model. Comfort and clamp pressure are personal, so try the fit if possible. Check the headphone socket on your mixer or controller before ordering.
