Audio-TechnicaATH-M20x Closed-Back Professional Studio Monitor Headphones - Black
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The ATH-M20x is a closed-back, over-ear studio monitor headphone designed for tracking and mixing. Its 40 mm neodymium drivers cover a stated 15 Hz–20 kHz range, while the circumaural earcups reduce outside sound and help limit headphone bleed. An adjustable padded headband and cushioned earcups support extended wear. For carrying between sessions, the headphones collapse and include a pouch; the single-sided straight cable keeps the cable routed to one earcup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tracking or mixing in busier spaces where closed earcups help reduce external distractions.
- Recording sessions where reducing headphone bleed into microphones matters.
- Transporting a foldable monitoring headphone between rehearsal, studio, or other work locations.
