Studio monitoring headphones

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x monitor headphones deliver pro-grade audio performance for studio production, location recording, DJing and daily listening. The closed-back, over-ear design provides excellent sound isolation in loud environments. Two detachable cables and a 1/4" adapter ensure versatile connectivity for interfaces and mobile devices. A carrying pouch, headphone stand and cleaner cloth complete the bundle.

Flat response with 40mm drivers

The single specification that decides fit is the 15 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response driven by 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils. This flat, accurate signature suits critical monitoring where colouration must be avoided. The 90-degree swiveling earcups enable single-ear cueing essential for DJ and broadcast workflows.

Capacity and headroom

The headphones comfortably handle extended studio sessions thanks to generous cushioning on the headband and circumaural earpads. They run out of isolation when ambient noise exceeds the passive attenuation of the closed-back shells. The coiled cable extends from 3.9 to 9.8 feet and the straight cable reaches 9.8 feet, covering typical desk and booth distances.

Questions about this item

How does the 15 Hz to 24 kHz range translate in a real studio setup?

The 15 Hz to 24 kHz bandwidth lets you hear deep sub-bass and extended treble detail, so mixing decisions on low-end rumble or high-frequency air are based on what the drivers actually reproduce.

What does the gold-plated 3.5 mm plug and 1/4" adapter combination actually connect to?

The 3.5 mm mini plug fits mobile devices and computer sound cards, while the screw-on 1/4" adapter lets you plug straight into audio interfaces, mixers and stereo receivers.

How much desk space does the included stand need for these headphones?

The bundled headphone stand is sized for the ATH-M40x's circumaural earcups and padded headband, so it holds the headphones upright without tipping on a typical desktop footprint.
