Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Closed-Back Monitor Headphones | Black

Renowned for their exceptional sound quality, single-ear monitoring feature, and compact, portable design, the black Audio-Technica ATH-M50x M-Series monitor headphones are known for their professional-grade construction and audio performance. Ideal for studio-based production, on-location recording, DJing, podcasting, and everyday listening, these headphones are equipped with 45mm large-aperture dynamic drivers and a closed-back design, providing clear sound, deep bass, and a wide frequency range (15 Hz to 28 kHz) while blocking out external noise.

The headphones are designed for durability and comfort, featuring 90° swiveling ear cups, high-quality materials, and ample cushioning on the headband and earpads. They come with three detachable, single-sided cables— one coiled and two straight— which cater to versatile usage in the studio or on the move. Each cable is fitted with a gold-plated 3.5mm mini plug for use with mobile devices and computer sound cards, and a 1/4" screw-on adapter is provided for easy connection to audio interfaces, mixers, and stereo receivers. Additionally, a carrying pouch is included for convenient storage and transportation of the headphones.

45mm Drivers

The ATH-M50x features proprietary 45mm large-aperture dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for high-quality sound reproduction.

Tuned for Clarity and Deep, Accurate Bass

The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned flat for exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range along with deep, accurate bass character. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 28 kHz, the ATH-M50x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.

Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design

The ATH-M50x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.

90° Swiveling Earcups and Foldable Design

Equipped with 90° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M50x ensures a great fit and allows effortless one-ear monitoring, a welcome benefit for DJs and singers. The earcups fold up to meet the headband, saving space during storage. A carrying pouch is supplied for protection and convenience while transporting the headphones.

Three Detachable Single-Sided Cables

To expand its versatility, the ATH-M50x incorporates a detachable cable design that exits from the left side. This enables convenient cable swapping and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone. Three cables are included—a 3.9 to 9.8' coiled cable, a 9.8' straight cable, and a 3.9' straight cable—to let you choose the best cable for sessions, traveling, or listening at home.

3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Screw-On Adapter

The attached cable is terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A secure 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers. Built-in strain relief on the 3.5mm mini plug reduces the likelihood of damaging the connection if the cable is pulled.

Pro-Grade Build Quality

Thanks to the pro-grade earpad and headband materials used in the ATH-M50x, the headphones provide increased durability and comfort while delivering enhanced audio and effective isolation.
