Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, White

For the cost, you'd be hard pressed to find better sounding headphones. These are close to being studio monitors, with the convenience of wireless features.These headphones do a good job of separating instruments in tracks and provide a better soundstage than I expected for this price. They are a touch, and I mean barely, warm. Meaning, they are mostly neutral as you would expect from a studio headphone, with the slightest bump in the lower end. Sub bass isn't really present, but I appreciate the modest punch in the low end.Keep in mind, these are not noise cancelling headphones. I find the ear pads fit my average sized head, and smaller ears really well. The seal they create helps block out some ambient sounds on their own. When I'm doing chores around the house and pumping some tunes, I really don't hear anything but the music. I even took these out in public once to get my tires changed. I could not hear the sounds of the storefront or the shop, even as I sat writing at the bar by the shop window. I was able to lose myself in the music and my writing without any problems. I don't find there is much sound leakage as these are closed back, but I also don't listen to my music at excessive levels (~75% at most).The one problem I have with them so far is the fact that the earcups do not swivel much, and thus cannot fold completely flat for travel. I would have also liked to see a cheap case or bag come with this product to help in transporting them. I have purchased the WS990 BT in the past which came with a leather bag that I still use when traveling. I will likely continue to use that pair for work travel, rather than the M20X.One concern I have for the long run is their build quality. They are mostly plastic with an aluminum band for extending the earcups. Being constructed as such, they are very lightweight. On one hand, this adds to the comfort of the headphones as I forget I'm wearing them sometimes due to their featherweight and light clamping force. However, I worry that these could be broken if I decide to toss them into a backpack and take them out more often. With the light clamping force I find that I can shake them loose if I shake my head side to side rapidly. While I don't do that often, I think that anyone looking for a headphone to wear while exercising should look elsewhere, or consider finding a different ear pad that provides more grip than the provided pleather set.For me, these will likely be relegated to around the house wear, when I don't want to be strapped to my computer desk by my R70Xs. I'm perfectly okay with that as I do really enjoy the sound these produce for the money and the comfort they provide. I think they punch above their price in the audio department and are an excellent option for someone looking for a good, reliable headphone for casual wear.

I have spent many hours wearing these since my mother and law moved in. Not the finest, nor the most techy. But with the Bluetooth as well as plug in stereo jack, I can lock myself in my room and ignore her shows downstairs whilst enjoying a decent flick. I would buy again for general use. Maybe if you are a diehard audiophile you need something better. But for general tv or phone, yes both ways, it does great.

I have had these for like a year now, and my biggest complaint is that the sliding mechanism has failed and basically these headphones are super loose. Sometimes my hair gets caught in the sliding adjustment mechanism and it will pull out my hair.Also the earpads themselves aren't held on by any clips or adhesive, they are like stretched on, and they can come off as their tightness wears out.That being said these have long battery life, they give you battery warnings, they connect easily to my devices. I like them, it's just the sloppy slide mechanism is annoying me really bad. I would have preferred anything else other than this.

My favorite headphones I’ve ever had. Comfy, audio balance is to my liking, bluetooth is easy to work with. Included cable is a bit short and flimsy but still works. If you intend to use this more for wired connections I’d suggest getting a new cable if possible.

I always trust audio technica, I've purchased their products in the past, and they've always lasted for years. I have no doubt this headset will last at least 5 years +. It has an aux input that I can use for direct monitor with my motu m2 audio interface, or just audio in general if the battery is dead. I would recommend buying thicker earcups, and a headband protector along with the headphones. i bought some beyerdynamic dt 990 pros a while ago, and they broke within the first month. The thin plastic on the headband that holds the earcups in place is extremely soft, and weak. For 200$-400$ beyerdynamic has awful build quality. I will go AT all the way from now on, for headphones, and microphones.
