The M40x

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

The sound quality on these headphones are amazing! However, here are some things you should know about the M40x's before you buy them:

Pros:
* Tuned flat (all ranges the same, not flat as in pitch, of course), so you should be able to hear all sounds really well
* Can get loud even powered off of motherboard audio.
* Over the ear, studio look

Cons:
* Clamping force is strong
* Super floppy, sometimes hard to control
* Can get a little hot

Things to consider:
* Closed back. Others can't hear you, and you can't hear others. Limits sound stage, but this is a per-situation thing to consider.
* These are studio headphones, so the clamping force is needed to prevent audio leakage both in and out of the headphones.

Personally, I love them, but your milage with these headphones may vary!

Other notes:
* You can make these Bluetooth compatible with [1] and [2] (probably [4] as well)
* You can make these a gaming headset with [3] and [2]

M40x vs M50x

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

Which headphone is better in these categories?

Comfort: M50x - more padding on the head band and slightly larger ear cups

Sound: M40x - somewhat clearer sound, the average person might not be able to tell the difference between the two headphones

Cables: M50x - comes with an additional short cable the M40x does not include. This cable is an extra 20 bucks if bought separately, bringing the two headphones a little closer in price if you add that cable to the m40x.

I think the M40x is the better deal.
I will be adding larger earcushions and the short cable, and it will still cost less than the M50x.

Design Flaw Ruins Otherwise Great Sounding Headphones

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

I love the sound of these headphones but Audio Technica must know by now that their design is killing them prematurely.

I owned a pair of AT40's for almost 15 years, and when they finally failed I happily replaced them with the 40X model. Unfortunately, my pair - purchased in 2016 - has just broken at the same pivot point noted by others. They were well cared for, not abused. I can only assume a design or materials flaw to be the culprit.

Based on AT's inability to fix their well known ear pad and headband shedding issues I must also assume they'll be no foreseeable design change, so I will be looking elsewhere for a replacement.

Most quality headphones are too harsh for me, but these are just right.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

I've owned these about nine months now. I'm a huge audio nerd, and I love these headphones!
Quick points:
- frequency response is incredible.
- you won't need a DAC -- they're very sensitive (efficient).
- sub-bass is present, if a little quiet, but
- they can take MASSIVE amounts of sub-bass if EQ'd
- great for people who are sensitive to treble
- they're really comfortable -- I can wear them for hours, with glasses
- their floppiness takes some getting used to
- they isolate sound pretty well
- you'll want to buy a different cable (there's an awesome 1.2m braided one on Amazon for $12)

They sound /so/ flat. ("flat" here refers to a graph of their frequency response, where a "flatter" graph gives a sound that's de-emphasized across the frequency spectrum -- it doesn't make some notes too loud and others too soft, just reproduces them exactly as they were recorded.) They respond to EQ really well, but I don't feel the need to use EQ on any part of the range besides sub-bass (and only for trap, future bass, etc.). Of course, their response isn't the most even and flat (according to professional measurements I've found), but it's really, really great. What is emphasized makes detail (2kHz to 6kHz) just a little more present, without being harsh. To my ears, a lot of headphones in this price range and higher sound too harsh because they emphasize treble too much. I had that concern with these at first, but for my ears, they're right on the edge without going overboard -- just about perfect.
You can practically use them as speakers with a mobile device -- they're that sensitive. You definitely don't /need/ to use a DAC with these.
I love sub-bass. I listen to a lot of trap, future bass, and misc. edm where the subbass really needs to speak. These headphones start to roll off around 70Hz, but not so drastically to where these styles aren't enjoyable without an EQ. I could go without EQ on these headphones, but I don't. What's great about these is that you can throw all the sub-bass boost you want at them and they still perform superbly. I use as much as +25dB at 31Hz (on a 29-band EQ) and they handle it excellently. In that regard, I give in before they do. I recommend AIMP if you're on Android so you can dial in the bass just how you want it, if you're into that sort of thing.
With other types of music and with podcasts, audiobooks, etc, I don't even think to use EQ with these headphones. Acoustic instruments never sounded so good before, or so true-to-life. And with podcasts, you can really hear the differences in the different microphones people use; it's incredible.
They're really comfortable for me. I have a large head and I wear glasses half the time, and even while wearing glasses, I can wear these headphones for hours at a time with minimal fatigue. The earpads and headband are nice and soft, and the earpads reach all the way around large ears. My partner has a small head and seems to find them comfortable, though they can slide around a bit on their head. When I'm moving around a lot, I find I need to really tighten them up to get them to grip when I tilt my head down. This became a non-issue for me as I got accustomed to them.
Due to the flexible nature of the design, they are especially floppy. You really can't pick them up quite like normal headphones, and putting them on is necessarily a two-handed affair. The first time I picked these up at a demo, they seemed to abandon my hands. You can't pick them up by one earcup and slip them on one-handed. I find I have to grab both cups or both ends of the headband and then put them on. But that's intentional. Sometimes you want to just pick up one ear and listen for just a second, like when you're trying to dial in something in a recording. For that purpose, the rest of the headphones fall to the side out of the way, and it's very convenient. I was actually frustrated by this at first, but after using them for some time in several different scenarios, I'm glad for the flexibility.
Other design notes: they seem durable and they've never appeared to even start breaking. I am gentle with my equipment, and I kept from forcing the hinges when the headphones would flop out of my hands for the first week I used them. I absolutely love that they fold up. This is eminently convenient for putting them in bags and taking them places.
The sound isolation is pretty good. Even on airplanes I've found that I don't have to turn the volume up too much. They easily block out conversations and even that one guy who doesn't know he talks too loudly. Adding bass seems to help this.
The cable situation is pretty bad. It's kind of weird to include two giant studio-length cables with headphones that will also be bought by average consumers. That being said, I bought a compatible braided cable on Amazon for $12, and it's awesome. It locks into the headphones, it's just the right length for everyday use, and it seems really durable. You'll probably want to buy one if you ever move your headphones from your desk.

I really love these headphones, and I highly recommend them for all purposes.

M40x v. M20x (more comfort)

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

It's hard to tell in product reviews the difference in build quality among the audio-technica m20x m30x m40x m50x. The cable design and portability differences as well as the audio specs are clearly defined for each set. But most reviews say that the comfort and build are essentially the same among all models.

But there ARE the subtle differences to note:

Wins for M40x
-has more padding on ear cups (see pics)
-has stronger headband adjustment mechanism (see pics)
-2 sizes of detachable cable short coiled and long straight (NOTE: needs adapter to plug into my iPhone SE with case on because grooves around the tip of cable are too fat)

Wins for M20x
-headphone cable fits perfectly with my Apple iPhone SE leather Apple branded case on (no adapter needed)
(see pics)

Note: The M40x is always on the left in these pictures (has silver ring around logo on back of ear cups)

Amazing Headphones and Awesome Customer Service

Reviewed in Canada on July 25, 2017

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

Audio Technica M40Xs are good quality headphones. They output clear audio with a reasonable amount of bass while also providing a moderate amount of noise cancellation to your surroundings. I am not a professional sound engineer, I use these for everyday listening of music and other media. The headphones tend to constrict the head quite a bit at first, making them to be uncomfortable for long periods of time when first worn. Luckily, after a few months of breaking in, I either got used to the tension or the headphones weren't constricting as hard as it was in the beginning; allowing longer listening periods. Because I was using these for everyday use, the cords provided are quite long (6 ft.). The coiled cord seems to be the best default cord for the headphones, otherwise I'd recommend buying a separate 3 ft cord. The plastic around the jack is also quite large on the default cords (about 1 cm [3/8 inch) and can be difficult to stay plugged into some phones due to the phone case (iPhone 5S does not have a problem with this, but my old ipod case had troubles keeping the jack in).

After a year or so of owning these headphones, they broke (picture provided). After emailing Audio Technica with pictures about my broken headphones, they instructed me to send them and any accessories I had to them in Quebec. Unfortunately, I had long lost a few of the accessories that came with the headphones, but I was assured it wouldn't be a problem and to send what I had. When I finally had the time, 4 months later, I got around to shipping the broken headphones to them. I had shipped it on the Thursday, and received a package on Tuesday (today) with a brand new set of M40Xs. Accessories and all. I have to thank Audio Technica for their hassle free support, it was very appreciated.

Brilliant build and sound quality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2017

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

Really happy with these headphones. I have only owned cheap headphones in the past and these ones have been a big step forward. Careful though, as they are known to have a totally neutral mix, something that many may find unappealing. Anyway here are some points that might interest you:
Pros:
- Reeeeally comfy, I wear them for hours and almost forget about their existence. Lightweight and not too tight.
- Excellent build quality and presentation. Everything feels premium and durable. Comes in a large box along with two cables, a jack adaptor and a cute faux leather pouch.
- Foldable and flexible. Some people will appreciate that feature. Nice clicking sounds when you turn the ear cups and still everything feels super durable.
- Totally neutral mix, excellent for professional use. I hate the bass boost most of the times and these ones are of the most accurate when it comes to playback. This doesn't mean they can't handle some serious low frequencies.
- Pretty decent sound stage. You get the feeling different sounds come from varying sources around you.

Cons:
- The foldability and flexibility may annoy some of you.
- No serious sound isolation. Of course this means your ears don't get sweaty, but if you absolutely need great passive isolation, you won't be satisfied. This also leads to another con:
- Sound leakage. Even in medium volume people around you can tell what you are listening to.
- Neutral mix means no impressive bass boost. Many of you who are looking for gaming/multimedia headphones may be initially unimpressed by that fact.

That is just my opinion of course, but I feel like you can't go wrong with these headphones when it comes to quality (especially if you are a musician or work in a studio). And I am not even taking into consideration the totally affordable price tag.

Muy buenos auriculares

Reviewed in Spain on January 29, 2019

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

Simple: Audio Technica M40X superó de manera simple y fácil el 90% de los auriculares en estas tiendas. El 10% restante es discutible y cuestionable. Estoy hablando de un sonido equilibrado y neutral, y todos se tratan de equilibrio, con un precio muy, muy equilibrado, si no muy barato para lo que obtienes.
Muchos auriculares están diseñados con una impedancia más baja para que los dispositivos móviles puedan ejecutarlos fácilmente, con un sonido más alto. La mayoría ha ajustado el sonido, para uso comercial, todos los días. El acento en un bajo más pesado y más pegado está en todas partes, y en la mayoría de los modelos que he probado.
Así que debes ser claro contigo mismo: qué te gusta y qué quieres, qué tipo de música escuchas en su mayoría, movilidad, calidad, etc.
Atm, los estoy probando con "Greyhound" de Swedish House Mafia = el bajo es muy bueno, profundo, preciso y punzante. Casi perfecto, exactamente como me gusta. Las agudas son hermosas: nítidas y cristalinas, las medias y bajas son ligeramente más bajas, pero principalmente porque estoy tratando de ser muy crítico con ellas. Las voces son increíbles, la guitarra acústica y el jazz suenan simplemente brillantes. Algunas cosas con mi Bose QC 15 definitivamente no se pueden escuchar sin un amplificador y un volumen más alto.
Mientras hablamos de Bose, los probé todos: el QC 25 sonaba muy bien, pero el bajo dominaba la experiencia del sonido y AT 40x tenía una etapa de sonido más nítida y clara. La cancelación activa de ruido es donde Bose brilla, pero a mí nunca me ha gustado esa tecnología, siempre sentí que tenía claustrofóbicos en la cabeza.

Al final, mi elección más restringida fue Sennheiser Momentum on ear. Están a un precio especial de 139 euros en Saturno, y debo admitir que estaba muy cerca de comprarlos. Se ven hermosos y el sonido es muy elegante. El bajo estaba sobre ti, pero muy bien controlado y equilibrado y toda la etapa de sonido fue impresionante. Más escuchaba, me estaba enamorando más de ellos. Pero de alguna manera, el M40X sonaba como más me gusta, además de que Momentum está en los auriculares y la comodidad era mi principal preocupación. Estaban muy cómodos, pero aún así comencé a sentir algo de presión sobre mis oídos después de menos de una hora. Pero sonaban muy bien.

La calidad de construcción de M40X es muy sólida, he visto muchos modelos con el doble de precio y no tenían esta calidad. Están construidos para durar, por todos los medios. La comodidad es donde Audio Technica ha mejorado mucho en todos los modelos "X" y son ligeros y se sienten muy bien. Los cables incluidos parecen literalmente indestructibles, de alta calidad. Los llevaba puestos durante más de 5 horas y seguía disfrutando.

Al final, y en mi humilde opinión, obtuve esta experiencia:
Audio Technica m50x - hermano mayor, un poco más caro, en general tiene mejor sonido con bajos un poco más pesados, pero aún así M40X tiene un sonido más neutral y mejor (al menos para mí )
Sennheiser HD 518 = bueno, pero no tan bueno, con el mismo rango de precios, así que no hay razón para comprarlos.
Sennheiser HD 558 = muy bueno, la experiencia en general es excelente, pero M40X los superó, especialmente en lo alto.
Sennheiser Momemtum over ear = precio alto, pero realmente no pude encontrar cómo y dónde están mejor. Cuanto más escuchaba, más decidido estaba a evitarlos. Su llamada, pero la relación precio / calidad no está justificada por todos los medios, las diferencias entre ellos y M40X fueron marginales.
Sennheiser Momentum on ear = mi siguiente favorito. Bajos profundos, pesados y bellamente divertidos con un gran sonido general. Lindo estilo.

Beats = Evitar, evitar, evitar. Por favor, hágase un favor y ahorre dinero, todos ellos son sobre el bajo, el bajo, el bajo y después de 2 minutos sentían que su cerebro explotaría ... la etapa de sonido era mala, la experiencia general fue decepcionante. Muy no recomendado.
Bose = lo siento para todos los amantes de Bose, pero excepto la cancelación de ruido (donde Bose es el campeón) no escuché un solo modelo que haya sonado mejor. Realmente intenté e incluso poseo QC 15, pero M40X fue un claro ganador y mucho más barato. QC25 fue realmente bueno.
Sony no tenía nada serio para emparejar M40X. He utilizado antes de 7560 y M40x son mejores.
Philips viene con la moda, pero Fidelio X1 también tiene un precio ridículo. Aunque el rendimiento fue realmente bueno, pero nuevamente estamos hablando de pequeñas diferencias, muy pequeñas.
B & W P3 = auriculares muy, muy buenos. Fue un placer escucharlos, en general, un gran rendimiento, pero tienen el doble de precio. Los mejores auriculares portátiles aquí, y se ven increíbles, pero muy caros.

Allí hay un número infinito de modelos de auriculares, pero me centraba principalmente en lo que recomendaban los usuarios y los expertos. Muchos modelos recomendados no estaban disponibles en estas tiendas, pero tenía una selección bastante amplia y algunos de los mejores y más vendidos estaban allí.

Entonces, intentemos cortar la historia aquí con la conclusión: Audio Technica ATH-M40X es probablemente los auriculares que más se pasan por alto en el mercado debido al gran y muy popular hermano m50x.

En general, un excelente escenario de sonido, un sonido neutro, increíblemente equilibrado y cálido con profundos, bajos precisos y controlados hace que estos auriculares sean simplemente una mejor compra en este rango de precios. No tienen competencia en absoluto en esta categoría de precios - período.
En cualquier caso, muchos modelos que cuestan el doble, o incluso más, no pudieron superarlos.
Y cuando se trata de bajos, aquí obtienes golpes de Muhamed Ali claros, hermosamente precisos y fuertes, en comparación con el tipo crudo, brutal, salvaje y descontrolado de Mike Tyson en la mayoría de los modelos que he probado.

Muy recomendable.

Ventajas:
- experiencia de sonido general hermosa, neutral, muy bien equilibrada. Amantes de los graves: son graves para mí, pero para algunas personas son planas: pueden ejecutarse con facilidad en dispositivos móviles con un volumen bastante alto debido a la buena impedancia (35 ohmios)
: construcción de alta calidad, muy duradera
: comodidad excepcional. cómodo durante un período prolongado de uso (más de 5 horas)
: los cables suministrados parecen imposibles de romper
; el diseño circumaural se adapta alrededor de las orejas para un excelente aislamiento del sonido en ambientes ruidosos (y les va bastante bien aquí)
- plegable para una portabilidad que ahorra espacio
- se ve bien, muy agradable

Contras:
- son plegables e incluso vienen con una bolsa de viaje, pero son auriculares bastante grandes. No viaje amistoso.
- desafortunadamente, no vienen con un cable de 1,2 m como un hermano mayor m50x, por lo que debe llevar 3 metros uno con usted. Lame, pero un precio más bajo debe justificarse de alguna manera.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 22, 2018

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

Puede empezar diciendo que mis audífonos de uso diario eran unos Bose AE2 ya algo viejos pero perfectamente útiles. Su audio no era malo pero tampoco era excelente. Bueno, con estos Audio-Technica puedo decir que quien no conoce a dios a cualquier santo le reza. Los Audio-Technica tienen una calidad de reproducción muy superior a cualquier Bose o beats qué hay en el mercado. Su sonido esta perfectamente equilibrado y se escucha cada instrumento; hay canciones que he escuchado toda la vida que jamás imaginé tuvieran tantos matices adicionales hasta que los escuché con estos audífonos. La calidad de construcción es bastante buena, son pesados y aprietan algo la cabeza pero no incomoda, en especial si estás horas en el estudio usándolos.

Eso si, no son audífonos de calle. Sus cables son muy largos y gruesos, los audífonos son muy grandes para traerlos cómodamente y no tienen el mejor agarre de todos a la hora de caminar. Pero si planeas usarlos en casa o en tu trabajo son perfectos.

También tienen muy buen aislamiento pasivo de sonido. Si estás en un avión no van a bloquear por completo el sonido pero es mejor que si estuvieras escuchando a un bebé llorar a lado de ti.

En general son audífonos excelentes para profesionales de audio y entusiastas del audio. Los recomiendo usar con un buen dac y pistas sin pérdida para tener la mejor experiencia de sonido.

Comparing ATH-M40x Headphones

Reviewed in Canada on September 2, 2017

Style: HeadphoneVerified Purchase

I bought the SONY MDR 7506, the SONY MDR V150 and AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-M40x headphones for my home studio. I've tested them, comparing their sound to each other and to my sources.

The V150 are the cheapest (reg $50 CDN, sale $30) and they feel (in construction and materials and comfort) and sound cheap when compared to the other two. I bought these first and they were fine for a singer or drummer recording parts, although not inspiring. I was happy for the money I spent and was wondering if more expensive headphones were worth it. The V150's sound and isolation isn't good enough to give keyboardists, guitarists, bassists an accurate representation of their parts.

I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones and began researching on-line. The M40x's (reg $180 CDN, sale $150), along with their sibling M50x get excellent ratings. I bought the M40x on sale and was pleasantly surprised at the huge improvement from the V150's... WOW!!! So there IS indeed better headphone sound at a higher price.

However, since I bought the M40x's I've not seen them on sale and their price has increased a lot. I wanted to get 3 more headphones with such good sound but can't afford the M40x's. More research led me to discover excellent ratings for the SONY MDR 7506 ($140 CDN). SONY has been making these for decades, so they're tried and true and it's easy to find replacement parts. When I read numerous times how the 7506's are often used by professionals in the recording world, I thought they'd be perfect.

The M40x's come closest to what I hear from my sources. The 7506's are very bright, with the highs being very forward, the bottom restrained and the sub-frequencies lacking. It's a very noticeable difference between the two headphones, like listening to FM radio (the M40x's) and then AM radio (the 7506's). This is odd because the 7506 claim to have a frequency range of 10-20kHz while the M40x's have 15-24kHz, and yet we hear more bass from the M40's and more highs from the 7506's. So, sonically, these are very different and some people prefer one over the other. They both sound good, and you'll quickly adjust or get used to the sound until you compare it to the other.

The SONY headphones have attached cords, the V150 has a straight cord and the 7506 has a coiled cable. The M40x has detachable cables which can be locked/unlocked, so you can replace or change your cables, which is a bonus and potentially means the headphones will last much longer. I should say that I read many reviews of people claiming their 7506 headphones lasted them 10+ years without hassle. There is more padding for the ears and head on the M40x's, so it fits more snugly and is a bit heavier and feels a bit more solid too. Both headphones can collapse to be more portable. Both come with a cloth carrying case.

Ultimately, if you get a chance to hear the 7506 and M40x to compare them, do so. They're both good headphones at a reasonable price that I would recommend. I don't think the Dre's compare in sound for the price, and I also think the Sennheiser HD280 sounds too boxy in comparison.
