Audio Technica makes brilliant headphones ! And i am thankful to Rajit for bringing them to my notice. The best thing about them is that even if you buy the base model of M20, it will blow anything else you have heard for less than 7k out of the competition. The clarity is amazing ! And 50x is the most popular one ! My suggestion after buying the 20x and 50x is that either you buy the 20x and get the same 40mm drivers as 30x or 40x but no features or go all the way and get the 50x with the bigger 45mm drivers. The extra bass does matter. And if you pair the 50x or even the 20x with the FiiO A3 amplifier, man that is amazing ! It amplifies the bass and enhances the soundstage at the same time. There is an option to turn of the bass and with the Poweramp - app - another Ranjit pick - even the bass heads will love it. You will feel the headphones thumping against your ears ! Also if you use a lot of Wynk or You tube, use the Equalizer and Bass Booster by KX App Team and you will love it !

[@culinarykid92]

Reviewers have said that the difference in sound between the M20x vs M30x and M30x vs M40x is significantly improved. I believe the M30x adds a folding feature for travel and the M40x adds the detachable cable (which I consider mandatory for any headphones I buy for over $30 now). Someone knocked over my laptop busting one of my headphone jacks with the M40x 3.5mm breaking off. I didn't like the coiled cable so I spent the extra $20 to get the short cable to replace my broken long cable (I found the long cable too long). That made my $80 headphones cost $20 to replace rather than drop $80 on a new pair.

[@lucasferes3519]

Great insight, man. Even tho they are marketed as monitoring, i believe they are good for an all around headphones. M50x would be great for me i believe, because i like a little bit of extra bass and still have that clarity along mids and highs that none of those cheap "gaming" crap can produce. I'm using Superlux HD631 and for the price they are amazing, but the treble sometimes hurt... I managed to make it smoother by adding thicker pads tho.

[@xCheMoni]

I appreciate you sharing with us the differences in features as opposed to just telling us which is 'better' overall by your own bias. That way, it doesn't feel like you're choosing for the viewer. Thanks for the info!

[@philliamproject8113]

Hi Ranjit I've been hesitating for weeks about the M50x then I found your review exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to 'pull the trigger' and purchase the M40X as I don't want slightly 'treated bass' in my sound quality and a lighter headphone is ideal Cheers mate! Subbed :)

[@SA-np5yy]

Absaloutly fantastic review.

[@culinarykid92]

I ended up getting the M40x a few years ago for $80 (and Amazon gave me a $30 rebate because they dropped the price a week after I got them). Considering the M50x was, and still is $50 more expensive, I am happy with my purchase. My brother ended getting the M50x on my recommendation for headphones some time after me, and I agree with you. The M50x has SLIGHTLY more bass, just enough to make it a more enjoyable experience. And considering the extra cable is $20, you are paying really $30 more for the bass and the swivel. If I did buy a pair again, I might consider the M50x, but probably would save the extra $50 and get the M40x again. I am considering the QC35 and Sony 1000MX3 to get ANC. A friend of mine just got the Sony's so I will probably try them and compare them to my M40x for sound quality, as reviewers say the ANC is as good or better than Bose. But I might wait (Sony seems to update the 1000s every August) to see if they fix the wind and cold problem with the headphones. Worst case, the current gen Sony's might get a discount. I would consider the Bose if they have USB-C charging since I threw out all my old microUSB cables.

[@chandansharma-kk3kq]

Hi Ranjit.. Great video and helpful indeed! Would you recommend them for casual use with mobile (iphones or any other high-end smartphone) perhaps? I understand that the sound is in its pure form, so no heave bass etc. but is it loud enough to be carried while traveling in Metro or crowded bazaar? Please advise. Thanks in advance..

[@FndMusic]

Very good reviews my man.. fair play

[@theRealAV8r]

For anyone who doesn't understand what 'flat' means for headphones. It just means the headphone itself is not physically designed to add much to the input signal by way of earcup shape, ports etc. That does NOT mean you cannot then use EQ and/or other effects as you like. M40x and M50x have the same power rating and low end freq response, so just add all the bass you want.

Can you do a detailed comparison of Bose QC35 with M50x? I know both belong to entirely different price segment, and M50x doesn't even have active noise cancellation, but purely from sound quality point of view, which is better between the two? I've personally listened to QC35 and was blown away by its clarity, but haven't tried M50x.

[@DanielChangtv]

very helpful video, i think i will go with the m40x

[@nschloe]

When checking the rotation on the M40x, the headphones are put on the wrong way. In fact, you can't lay the ear cups flat on your chest with the M40x, one of its biggest shortcomings I find.

[@chavodel6]

Very good video, no bs just pure facts, good job, I'll go for the 50x

This is indeed a very honest review and holds true to their performances. The M40x is competitively priced and it's worth every penny. It gives a flat sound with no extra base so it gives the original effect. Really good review about the headphones. Ended up buying M40x after this review. If anyone is looking for an affordable set of headphones which is worth every penny that you spend should definitely go for M40x.

i totally agree sound quality and clarity is just amazing on m50x. I have also listened to bose qc35 and found that sound quality is not that good as price difference is huge and ranjit is first person who is not praising bose qc35 for sound quality(totally true ) as compare to m50x so yess if anyone wants pure sound nothing else and do not want fance features like ANC, wireless playback then m50x can easily beat top of the line headphones in terms of sound

wht about m20x geekybhai i want to buy should i go for it? or there are other heaqdphones which i must look for under 3000 plzz suggest

[@npk1428]

which earphones you will recommend for the budget of 3000 already used sony xb50 searching for the new one

[@Ballacha]

the ATH-M series are intended for studios. so imo M40x is the better headphone period because it tries to recreate the original sound from your devices/instruments without adding extra strength to any particular range. i've had it for my digital piano and drum kit for about half a year now and that's saying something. cuz i have previously owned m50x and mdr-xb650bt. neither of them lasted more than 2 weeks before i sold/refunded them.

i recently bought the sony h.ear on's(100-aap) the wired versions of the sony h.ear on's(100-ABN) i gotta say the h.ear o performs better than the both audio technica m50-m40 x i heard all the three headphones personally and bougt the h.ear on they sound very flat flat and have awesome comfort ,althoug they dont isolate the sound as much as the m50 or 40 but still somewhat 20% less isolation the bass in m50 is more than h.ear on, and the sound distorts in m40x in some flac files, and i got h.ear on for 8k instead of 13k which was a good deal i feel , although i got the m-50x for 7k in flipkart but h.ear on looks awesome the comfort is much much better i personally used it for 8 straight hours watching movies no discomfort . and this is true even jonathan morrison , dave2d and karl conrad has reviews on these :)
