Thumbs up if you listening to these on the ATH-M40X

[@derrickcotten3839]

How did you know

[@LTheAssassin]

r u a wizard

[@bengsynthmusic]

Hell yeah. The Beatles sound amazing on them.

[@ZoneDiem]

actually im using m50x but im buying m40x

[@euphony5552]

Zonex The m50x is twice as expensive as m40x wtf.

[@wonder2878]

I see headphones as kind of like choosing what kind of drink to have with your meal. The M40x's are like water. They're neutral, clear, and won't colour your experience, for the better or worse. Water won't ruin your palate while eating your delicious meal, and the M40X's won't ruin the sound of the song you're listening to. But sometimes, you want something with a bit more flavour. The M50x are like a soda pop. It's more exciting, colourful, and can go great with some things. The M50x's can enhance the sound of some genres of music, like how soda pop goes great with some foods, like a hamburger and fries. However, you typically wouldn't want soda pop when you're at a fine dining restaurant, like how the m50x's may not sound their best with more subtle genres of music. A nice set of open back headphones, such as the HD 600s, Audeze LCD 4s, or ATH R70x are like a fine wine. They help sweeten your experience, especially with things that require more subtlety.. However, too much of it, and you'll be obnoxious to everyone around you. Wine can really tie a great meal together, but it isn't always the best idea to have it with something like fast food. Likewise, open headphones sound lovely with more subtle music, such as classical, acapella or acoustic, but often lack the bass response for rock, metal, hip hop and EDM. The ATH M70xs are like cough syrup. They're harsh, no one wants to have them, and are only used when a problem needs to be solved. When you're sick, you take cough syrup, not because it tastes good, but because it will help with your sickness. The ATH M70xs are not to listen to music, but to search for problems in a mix or master, as the accentuated highs will reveal many flaws that the other headphones can't. They're kind of like the Yamaha NS-10 studio monitors, which were initially intended as consumer bookshelf speakers, but have such harsh treble that studio engineers use them to correct flaws in a mix. The idea is that if you can get a song to sound decent on a pair of NS-10s then they'll sound good on pretty much anything, and I think Audio Technica had the same approach with their M70xs. I have been watching all of the videos in your ATH M series reviews and I have been thoroughly enjoying them. I already have a set of fairly neutral headphones (NAD Viso HP50s, I highly recommend checking them out, as they take the approach of "neutrality" fairly differently than many other headphones) and I wanted something a bit different. Something that is coloured different than my current set of headphones, and something that is rugged enough so it can be used for drum tracking (I've heard that running some consumer headphones like the HP50s way too loud can blow a driver, but not so on something like the m50x). I already owned a pair of m50s so I decided to get another pair that will be here in a few days. I also purchased a pair of SHP 9500s, for when I'm playing a game, don't want to use my main speakers, or just want to listen to something relaxing. Again, amazing videos. PS ( Get brainwaves earpads they make them awesome! ) ( and maybe a dbrand skin)!

[@rynolin342]

I've had a pair of M40x's for 2 years now and I love them. I would 10/10 recommend them as a budget pair of headphones.

[@DVZNMedia]

See this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about

[@rynolin342]

I have small ears so the common complaint of them causing your ears to hurt isn't a problem for me.

[@DVZNMedia]

yeah they don't even hurt really, I just wouldn't mind a small upgrade in the pad. I think they're super clean and I can leave them on my head for hours without noticing. also shout out to have small ears

[@rynolin342]

ehFbvf ?vbb I don't own a ps4 so I can't test this, but I don't think there would be any problem. They work with any normal 3.5mm headphone jack I plug them into.

Thanks for the heads up. I, too, kept hearing about the popularity of the M50. But, like you, I'm more interested in accuracy than hyped bass/treble. The M40 seems perfect for the price. I appreciate the video.

[@billkilpatrick3465]

First, great video. I like the way you handle yourself. Second, I own the HD800, the LCD2 PS500e and the DT1990, so I was surprised at the bang for the buck in the M40x. I needed some knockarounds and the price was unbeatable, especially with all those great reviews. I was genuinely impressed. For mobile use, these are great. The impedence is fairly low. They're easy to drive and the bass reaches low while remaining tight. I've got a pair of Beats for that skull-numbing thump but these drive low without bleeding all over the midrange. I was surprised at the level of clarity in a closed can.

[@PumpkinSeed17]

I just watched 4 of your videos and you just got a new subscriber :) Great job keeping these reviews fun and relevant and just concise enough. Take care! Happy New Year! :)

Love ur review. Im getting these

[@DVZNMedia]

No doubt, lemme know what you think of em

[@motap001]

Good job. I bought the M40x's two years ago for my daughter. These are portable cans that sound good. They give you the short cable that makes it convenient to use when traveling around or just laying in bed. BTW, when I got them the pads looked a little on the thin side so I ordered a pair of Shure 1840 pads. These are velour material pads that give a softer feel without changing the sound signature. I like the equipment you have in your studio. The JBL 305's will due the trick every time....Good Luck

Can you use this on your phone and is it good for travelling?

[@jasonthomas2252]

Great Vid.......Last week I went to Guitar center ready to get the M50's, but when I was there listening to the M50's & M40's, I went with the M40's they just sounded more Clearer and a great balance between Bass & Treble. I'm so Glad I went with the M40's.

[@DVZNMedia]

yeah it was interesting to hear as well, I'm definitely glad I went with the M40X's

[@hambopro4221]

Awesome video, I'm actually watching this with my M50x and always heard about the M40x but never actually researched into it. The fact it is a lower number than 50 perhaps leads people away from the product? Anyway definitely subscribed, unbelievable quality - your channel will be massive!

You said you'd recommend the m50x's for hooking up to your phone and listening to music, would you recommend the m40x's for that also?

[@greggh]

I was wondering the same thing. He just throws that out there. But he doesn't explain it.

[@DVZNMedia]

I think for me it's because the m50xs give a more tuned sound that may be more enjoyable for just listening to music on your phone where you're not really looking for an analytical experience. Honestly it's subjective, and I know some audio professionals who swear by them but for me if I was picking a pair to mix and edit to it would still be the m40x, if it was a pair just to listen to my playlist on Spotify it woul be the 50s

[@KraftyGrooVe]

HI.which will be better for mix Trap and EDM production? I think m50x have better controll for low freq?

[@DVZNMedia]

In my opinion the low end was a bit more emphasized in the m50x, which might appeal to you and your mixing style. I think the most important thing is to really learn your gear and how you perceive the sound, test your mixes in varies speaker situations so you can learn how you hear the mix in your headphones and adjust accordingly .

[@calvinyip364]

Does this headphone good for listening to music? I keep hearing youtuber saying it's flat which I done know wat it means.I just wanna use a good headphone for listening to music and playing games.Does the m40x suitable?

[@SuperKREPSINIS]

i have it m40x and i just enjoy it, the sound smooth, clean. the base is not there if you look for it, its not bouncy or boomy, its how artist intended it to sound, but music sounds just amazing, the song from background of this video sounds so relaxing and full... for the price what u getting compared to consumer grade headphones is jist a next level. the cleanliness and smoothness of the sound is best i ever heard

[@pctech12345]

i haven't tried the CM headphones personally so i can't tell you if it's a direct upgrade but these sound great but not the widest open soundstage. It's a bit tighter with less emphasis on bass. I think for strictly gaming they're not bad at all but wouldn't be the first i reach for.

i upgraded from the MH752 to the m40x while using the 7.1 surround sound dac from the CM's and i can definitaly tell that the m40x are better than the mh752 soundstage and imaging wise. and the m40x are better overall for listening to music and watching movies.

I have a question here ... OK, I understand that the M40Xs are much cheaper than the M50Xs so the vfm winner is definitely the 40s. However, if we ignore the price tags, are the M50Xs better than the M40Xs? Obviously, there must be a diference betwin a 40mm and 45mm driver and also the higer impidence of M40Xs is somthing to consider if you want to use then with a mobile device... So what is best (also M40Xs go up to 24,000 Hz and M50Xs go up to 28,000Hz...)

[@DVZNMedia]

+MrAndreas8787 well, and this is purely subjective, I think if you're just listening to music on mobile then the m50x are a bit better because the extra tuning. My opinion of the m40x being better refers mainly to trying to get a flatter sound for mixing audio vs. just listening to music.

[@MrAndreas8787]

Thank you very much! You are amazing! Continue the great job!

[@AXLplosion]

Maybe a month ago I tested both the m50x's and m40x's side by side. The m50x's seemed to have a slightly better sound quality, but the difference was barely noticeable. So pretty much from personal experience, the m50x's are better, but the m40x's are definitely more worth it.

[@DVZNMedia]

+AXLplosion I can understand that, I think they sound better for just overall music listening, I'm not mad at that

[@AXLplosion]

Btw, don't know if you care, but I just bought these m40x's today, and I love them!

[@DVZNMedia]

+AXLplosion niceeeeee

[@timjoseph887]

that's only for sound comparison. What I have read is the 50's a more sturdy, and won' fall apart or break under a bit of hyper pressure on the components.

[@DVZNMedia]

ooouuu!!!

[@thehauntedfisherman1792]

Ha.. I'm listening to this on the 40's. Clean clean sound.

[@Artek604]

Wearing them right now and LOOOOOOVEE the f**ing things

[@manishdk]

m50x or m40x for purely personal listening and nothing else? and how do both compare with comfort for listening over long periods of time?

[@DVZNMedia]

i think they both are dope, I've become accustomed to the sound of the m40x so I'm more than a lil biased but even just for listening to music I think I prefer the m40x.........with some comfy earpads cuz the stock ones suckkkkkkkk

[@manishdk]

@@DVZNMedia got the m40x! can you recommend some comfy earpads for long listening sessions?

[@DVZNMedia]

Check out Brainwavz, they have a bunch of great options I got em for mine

[@manishdk]

@@DVZNMedia can you narrow it down please? Don't understand the options

[@sinjon]

Manish D.K Go to Amazon and search for M40x brainwavs pads. There’s a memory foam option(I think) that work great. If you’ve watched z-review of the M40x he recommends these obnoxious cowhide ones that are very uncomfortable. So if you’ve watch his review do not get those. Just my opinion

[@keithnitcher7720]

I am looking for a set for gaming and content creation which is the better set for these two instances.

[@DVZNMedia]

These will work nicely for that

[@keithnitcher7720]

@@DVZNMedia alright I will be hooking them directly to a 7.1 pioneer deck just don't want something that if I turn up the volume that will get distorted as well as there are times I wear headphones for 3-6 hours straight

[@Ph3nomen0N]

Please could you tell me if those JBL 305s are good for a desktop setup? I mean are they quiet enough while idle? No hissing from the tweeters? Thanks

[@DVZNMedia]

man I love these things, I don't know why I never did a full on video about them but I use them in all scenarios haha great speakers. You should be able to get em for cheap too

[@Ph3nomen0N]

Thanks, ye everyone says they are great, I was just wondering if they are quiet when music is not playing. Because some speakers have this audible hiss coming out of them even if they are not connected to anything.

[@callmedeno]

I find the highs on the m50x's uncomfortable to listen to, are the m40x's more mellow in the highs?

[@DVZNMedia]

The highs are still a little more pronounced on the m40x but less of an aggressive performance than the m50x's overall I think it's just a more balanced sound.

[@SMOR3S]

Just bought the M40X's yesterday! I am a long time original M50 owner and u can see my music on my channel, all of it is pretty much mixed with M50's.... The original M50's had that spiked low and high end, the M40X's are supposed to be more neutral like MDR 7506's and not have the pronounced low and end up curve.

[@ChrisBessy]

hello .... today wich one you use ?

[@PoradnikiYakuza]

lol, i lately saw you reviewed my keyboard, and now while searchign for a m40x review, i found you! (ill get the refurbs probably :D)

[@DVZNMedia]

oh nice, what keyboard was that again?

[@PoradnikiYakuza]

gramr 84 :)

[@DVZNMedia]

love that board, it's currently my daily driver

[@PoradnikiYakuza]

are the m40x's any bass'y? i really like the headphones for the features, but the drivers are relatively small,a nd i knwo theyre studio phones, but do they actually provide, good, rich, and thumping bass?

[@user-ne3rb8ps8j]

Yakuza they have punchy midbass but sub bass is a bit quieter than it should. Also the bass isn't very tight. M40X is a better performer when it comes to mids and highs.

[@busywl69]

the bass in the 50x is thunderous for just listening to bass heacy stuff. Sound/stereo stage is kind of squished though.. Great for just listening or maybe checking final Impact after a master, but the 40x is better for mixing n tracking. The Superlux are great for watching movies and tv and gaming. Not so much for critical mixing. The high end is.......a little tinny and odd when you get surgical with your listening on them. Nice vid.

[@indoorvoyager0551]

Are these easy to drive? Do I need an amp to use this with my phone

[@DVZNMedia]

Very easy, an amp makes it better but you don't need it to play music on your phone.

[@Joshuadomiel]

Is there a big difference between m40x and m30x? Such a big price difference and I was wondering if it was worth it

[@fernandomatt2881]

Joshua Sanchez There are a notable difference. For a few bucks more you get the m40x (aka Fuck M50x even more)

[@jekken333]

40x's has better details plus removable cables.

[@tempestjay7865]

You should only consider getting the ATH M30x if and only if you are super broke and can't spend extra to get the ATH M40x. The M40x is so much better than the M30x, it would be stupid to take the M30x over the M40x if you had a choice.

[@salmatic81]

You said you prefer the m50x for walking around with your phone, but would you prefer the m40x for that also? I'm not a content creator or anything, I'm just a casual listener

[@DVZNMedia]

+Sal Paul I think they both sound good, but the m50x has the more "tuned" with more bass and highs. The m40x sound great for just listening to music as well but I think that's where the 50s have the edge.

[@salmatic81]

DVZN Media thank you for the info, one more question, what if I'm a fan of bass but not overpowering bass and wanted a more balanced sound, which ones would you prefer then?

[@DVZNMedia]

imho that would be the M40x, they still have a good punch even though it's not overbearing. It's balanced and provides a great listening experience.

[@danielkemp143]

I just ordered mines. To be honest I just want them just for casually listening to music on my phone and I'm not picky about bass. Did I make a bad choice?

[@williamskagen9901]

They are great :) After some weeks of break in, specifically with the pads (as they can be uncomfortable at first) I found them to be absolutly brilliant for just about any scenario.
