Audio-TechnicaATH-M50x Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones - White

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The white ATH-M50x is a closed-back, over-ear monitor headphone for studio work and everyday listening. Its 45 mm dynamic drivers use rare-earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils, with a stated 15 Hz–28 kHz response. The circumaural earcups provide passive isolation and rotate 90 degrees for one-ear monitoring. For changing setups, it includes three detachable cables, folds down for transport, and comes with a carrying pouch and screw-on 1/4-inch adapter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tracking or monitoring where passive isolation and optional one-ear listening are useful.
- Moving between studio and portable setups using the supplied straight and coiled detachable cables.
- Transporting headphones in a more compact folded form with the included carrying pouch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Listeners who specifically require active noise-cancellation technology.
- Multiplayer voice chat without a separate microphone solution.
