The smaller ATH-M40X by Audio-Technica is made ??by the same recipe as the big brother M50?x. They are almost as big and heavy, though not

Full-bodied and potent sound with great dynamics and balance

No remote or microphone on the cord

This is great over ear. Nice ear pad. best sound quality in good price.

They're cheaper, but can the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x live up to the expectations set by the more popular ATH-M50 series?

Excellent sound quality; Comfortable

No mic / remote

Ill be honest.. headphones arent for music listening.. there is not enough bass.. Quality is 7/10, Isolation is 5/10.. sound is not loud enough (through my smartphone).. you can buy much better headphones at 100$(for music listening).. However I didnt use this for audio mixing and etc.

Pros Good natural sound Good for sound editing Used it a lot for editing music due to linear response. Detachable cable Lightweight Cons Not the best materials used Plastic became fragile and broke eventually

just received them now, as soon as i took them out of the box they felt very solid, the built quality is excellent, very comfortable to hear, and the sound is just amazing very balanced sound, its a must buy if these are in your price range.

First of all I will like to start by saying that these headphones are very light , you don't get tired even after using them for a long period of time , I been using them for mixing and they work pretty well for my taste and the type of music I record, which is mostly instrumental.

For the $100 price point, these cans are the best you can do. They are of excellent build quality, and are almost as good as their big brother the ATH-M50x. I mean REALLY CLOSE. Listening to these headphones is amazing.

Tuned flat, sound is exactly what artist originally recorded; Exactly

Some may not appreciate the tuned down bass

I know these are meant for professionals but I am sure I am not the only audiophile that just wants these for my iPhone music, so for this task both cords are uber long, like ridiculously so. I could listen to my music and jump rope with the extra cord.. Seriously!

These headphones are the bessst! They sound flat and accurate.They reproduce sounds very accurately. They sound like my Mackie studio reference monitors. I am very impressed to find headphones of this quality for less than 100 dollars. I am very satisfied with these headphones.
