Professional Studio Monitor Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are closed-back headphones built for critical studio mixing, tracking and DJ monitoring. They deliver professional sound quality using 45mm Neodymium drivers with copper-clad aluminum voice coils. The circumaural design provides effective sound isolation in loud environments, making them suitable for accurate audio assessment in various professional settings.

Frequency Response 15Hz to 28kHz

The drivers reproduce an extended frequency range from 15Hz to 28kHz, offering headroom for deep sub-bass and detailed high-frequency content. This range comfortably handles full-spectrum monitoring tasks required for mixing and mastering. The impedance is rated at 50 ohms, allowing them to be driven adequately by professional audio interfaces and portable devices without requiring dedicated amplification.

Detachable Cables and Foldable Design

The single-sided detachable cable system includes 1.2m, 3m straight and 3.9m coiled options for flexible studio or mobile use. Ear cups swivel 90 degrees for convenient single-ear monitoring during tracking sessions. The headphones fold flat into the supplied carry pouch for compact transport. Passive operation means no battery management or active noise cancellation circuitry to affect signal purity.

Questions about this item

Will the 45mm Neodymium drivers work well with an older audio interface that has a high-output headphone amp?

The headphones present a standard impedance load and the 15Hz to 28kHz frequency response will be reproduced accurately by any competent headphone amplifier, including older high-output designs.

How can I verify the 90-degree swivel and detachable cable are functioning correctly after unboxing?

Rotate each ear cup until it locks at 90 degrees for single-ear monitoring, then connect each supplied cable — 1.2m straight, 3m straight and 3.9 to 9.8m coiled — confirming a firm click and uninterrupted audio.

Which cables and adapters are included so I know what, if anything, to buy separately?

The box contains the headphones, a 1.2m straight cable, a 3m straight cable, a 3.9 to 9.8m coiled cable, a 1/4-inch screw-on adapter and a carry pouch.
