Audio-Technica ATH-M40x HEADPHONES

 

The Audio-Technica ATH-M40x are decent headphones with outstanding, studio-quality sound. They feel sturdy and are fairly comfortable but offer no control options for your audio. They also only provide passive isolation, which might not be enough to...

Good audio reproduction. ; Sturdy build.

Poor isolation. ; No buttons or audio controls.

Expected More

 

I bought these mainly to use with my laptop, phone, and iPod touch. While the sound quality of the headphones is fine, both of the audio cables that came with the product had problems that distorted the sound by either distorting the music entirely or...

Sound good ; Portable ; Seem durable ; Detachable cables

Both cables that came with the headphones had problems with them ; Customer service is terrible ; NO short cable ; Coiled cable is extremely heavy

Audio Technica ATH-M40x

 

I used these for a year and a half. Treated kindly. No abuse. After 15 months the swivel attachment just shattered. Very disappointed. They were comfortable and sounded great, but I expect better durability.

Audio Technica ATH-M40x

 

Buy the ATH-M40x headphones if you're looking for "budget" wired over-ear closed-back headphones with fantastic sound quality. I did a lot of research before making my purchase - I wanted the above characteristics, an ok-looking pair of headphones, and...

Audio Technica ATH-M40x

 

Bought these a couple years ago when they released. Haven't turned back since. The high fidelity this produces is perfection. Only thing I've had to do is replace the ear pads from using them so often

Excellent sound quality, good built, affordable. Look no further.

 

I listen to spotify (reggae, easy listening), use these for netflix also. Perfect for me. Cable detachable, which means if broken you can replace it, sound quality very good - these are flat lined which is to my liking. I compared side by side with...

Good headphones

 

Good headphones for the price ($129), has very good noise cancelling thanks to the closed-back design and the sound quality is good. It isn't as good as I thought it would be when compared to the HyperX Cloud II. It's definitely better in terms of...

One of the best headsets I've ever used

 

I've gone through maybe 30 headsets like this in the last 10 years but these audio technica's are by far the best ones I've ever used. I bought it about a year ago and the headset is still in top condition, and the sound quality is a clear jump up from...

Perfect

 

Awesome headphones. Great sound quality and flat responses too. Lovely to hear the music how it was intended to be heard. Durable also, I've dropped mine quite a few times with no breakages. The two cords provided are great too. Best headphones for the...

Great Headphones.

 

The Audio Technica ATH-M40x is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to break the bank when buying quality headphones. The sound on these are brilliant and they keep up with the quality of the M50x. The sound is also even better when you use an...
