We purchased the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review them. Read on for our full product review.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are probably the best all-around headphones you can buy for the widest range of applications. That may seem like a bold statement, but when you break it down by end use, it becomes clear just how versatile these headphones are.

To start with, average listeners will like these headphones for their balanced, well-rendered sound, comfortable fit and finish, and cool design. However, AT designed these headphones as DJ and studio monitor headphones first, which means they also work great for mixing, mastering, and music creation. It’s the combination of these two things that makes these headphones an excellent all-around buy.

They may not be as great for consumers as the Sony WH line, nor are they as critically acclaimed as Sennheiser’s studio headphones. But if you’re an audiophile, a casual listener looking to improve your setup, or a home studio musician looking for a good all-around set of headphones, you’ll find a lot of value in the ATH-M50x headphones.
