Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Specifically designed for digital music with wide program dynamics, Audio-Technica's mid-size ATH-M2X headphones are perfect for use with home and project studios and portable digital-audio devices like CD, minidisc, and MP3 players. The headphones use an open-back design that lets its large, 40 mm drivers "breathe" better than closed-back designs, eliminating unwanted low-frequency resonances that often color the sound from closed-ear headphones. While this helps the sound quality, be aware that it also makes them a little noisier for those around you--and permits noise from without to be audible through the headphones.

The high-performance drivers use efficient, low-mass diaphragms that are easily driven by most headphone jacks. An 11.5-foot cable grants extended movement from and around your audio source, and the .125-inch-terminated cable comes with a .25-inch adapter plug for use with home audio components.

What's in the Box
Headphones, adapter plug, and a data sheet.

5.0 out of 5 stars They last..., June 1, 2005

By	T. Gieseking "brokeneq" (Indianapolis, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recieved these headphones as a gift back 3 years ago for my 18th birthday. They've lasted all this time and still sound great, they have superb quality when used with my dell dj, cd player, everything. One of the ear pieces comes loose but that is due to my rought treatment not defective merchandise. I highly recommend these as they are an exceptional piece of equipment for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's already been said, but I'll say it anyway..., February 13, 2007

By	M. Riddle "Mat is a nerd" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the price of these you can't go wrong.

They fit well, sound decent, and are reasonably durable. I've enjoyed a few sets of Audio Technica headphones across their price range and while I might not suggest these to an audiophile for their iPod, they work great for when I occasionally want heaphones on my computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Product, Nice Price, May 12, 2007

By	Andrew D. Lingenfelter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These headphones sound amazing for the the price I paid for them. I bought them as a gift for my girlfriend and she was equally amazed. The cord is extremely long and useful in places where you are far from the device you are listening to (ie. the computer, walking around listening to a CD boom box). The Sony headphones I have now have no bass, are starting to break, and cost me almost as much as these. See if I buy another pair of Sony headphones again...
