Review: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
People are always asking me for headphone buying advice. Not just friends, but co-workers, strangers over Twitter, and people I meet at parties who learn that I write about audio gear. "Which headphones should I get?" It all depends, I say, on what you're looking for.
Fantastic sound; Made for music production, but also great for critical listening; If you're seated and working, they're comfortable enough to wear all day; New version of these classic cans now features three detachable cables: one long, one short, and one coiled.
No in-line remote or phone controls on the cables; Even with the new mobile-friendly short cable, the big and bulky over-the-ear design isn't entirely mobile-friendly; They fold, but not much, so they're tough to travel with; Probably too heavy for walking around town
