Limited-Edition ENSO Design

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO is a limited-edition closed-back monitor headphone finished with custom engravings inspired by Japanese ensō brush strokes. It retains the professional studio heritage of the standard M50x while adding collectible visual details and bespoke packaging created for the 2025 release.

Included Cables and Accessories

Three detachable single-sided cables are supplied: one coiled and two straight, each terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm mini plug. A 1/4-inch screw-on adapter is also included for connection to audio interfaces and mixers, and a carrying pouch provides storage and transport protection.

Studio Professionals and Collectors

The headphones suit audio engineers, DJs, podcasters and daily listeners who value accurate monitoring, foldable portability and 90-degree swivelling earcups for one-ear use. Buyers seeking wireless connectivity, active noise cancellation or an open-back soundstage should consider alternative models.

Questions about this item

Do the 45 mm drivers or the earpads wear out first?

The earpads will degrade before the 45 mm drivers; they are replaceable and the drivers are built for long-term studio use.

What limits comfort during an all-day session?

The closed-back seal and clamping force create heat buildup around the ears after several hours of continuous wear.

How much power do the 45 mm drivers draw from a laptop jack all day?

The drivers are efficient enough that a standard 3.5 mm laptop output drives them to full volume with negligible battery impact.
