ATH-M50xWH

High quality closed-back over-ear monitor headphones. This model is primarily intended for connoisseurs of high-quality sound and professional use. But this does not mean that special equipment or expensive players are certainly needed for their work. The low internal resistance of this model allows it to be used with a smartphone, but, of course, for high-quality sound, the source gadget must have a good output path.

The headband is folding plastic, reinforced with a metal plate. The bowls can be folded inwards and rotated around a vertical axis, so that the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones can also be used as DJ headphones. The ear pads are large and soft, as well as the headband, they are covered with good artificial leather. Pressing to the head is moderate, exactly what is necessary for good sound insulation.

The sound depends on the signal source. When using a smartphone with a good audio output, the sound is excellent, but in order to reveal all the advantages of this model, to get a good stereo panorama and depth of the stage, it is advisable to use a DAC with an additional amplifier. The frequency range claimed by the manufacturer is from 15 Hz to 28 kHz, which more than covers the range of audibility of the human ear.

"Killers" Beats

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is a slightly improved version of the impressive ATH-M50, which has been considered one of the best headphones in the sub-$200 price range. Initially, they were positioned as inexpensive monitor headphones, but over time they became famous as the "killers" of the Beats. Fortunately, they sounded more interesting in all respects, but were cheaper.

For music lovers and home producers

This model is primarily intended for connoisseurs of high-quality sound and professional use. They have a very precise sound balance, stereo sound, as for a closed type of headphones, is incredibly voluminous, and the dynamics are beyond praise. They can only be reproached for the low detailing of the upper frequencies. The same DT 990 Pro look more interesting in this regard, although according to the passport they do not have such a wide frequency range. But thanks to the low internal resistance of the ATH-M50x, no special equipment or expensive players are needed. An impedance of 38 ohms allows them to be well pumped even by a mid-range smartphone with a simple DAC. Although, to swing them to the full, a DAC with an additional amplifier is still useful.

Easy to fold

The ATH-M50x are solidly built and built to last for years to come. The thick, soft ear cushions rotate in two directions, making the headphones easy to assemble and store in a case. When disassembled, they sit extremely comfortably on the head, and thanks to soft velor ear cushions, the ears get less tired during the heat. Interestingly, the kit comes with 3 different cables (one twisted, two straight) for different usage scenarios. The only pity is that a simple headset was not attached to one of the direct cables. Considering that many will buy them in pair with a smartphone, such a trifle would not be superfluous.
