I was looking for a portable headphone. But didn’t want to spend a lot of money either. And they needed to be tough as I was going to put them on my backpack to use them working on the road every day. I found this model hit the $$ range I was looking for and had pretty good reviews around so I gave them a chance. I got them for around $86 in “Like New” condition from Amazon Warehouse Deals. MSRP is actually $139, but they go normally here on Amazon for $99.. so all in all.. a good deal.. they seemed new to me… just the box had some scratches, but nothing I would care about… Now on to my thoughts so farNOTE: These headphones and the Sennheiser HD600 are the only headphones I’ve had worthy of mentioning. I also don’t have any other headphones with me to compare them to in the same price range or any other range. Not even the apple earbuds that came with my iphone5 (don’t miss them at all). I also have not had experience listening to a lot of good quality headphones except for my HD600. So as unfair as it is…all my thoughts are in comparison to the HD600s which is still the superior headphone and an awesome value and my point of reference in evaluating the m40x which after all, have surprised me quite a bit!First, they sounded very promising! But they weren’t very comfortable. The stock ear pads are a little small for my big ears. They sort of cover all of my ear, but its not as comfortable as my HD600s and their huge pads. So looking around I found the Brainwavz Replacement Memory Foam Earpads here on Amazon as well. These fit perfectly and were free (thank you Amazon gift card!). They didn’t affect the sound signature a whole lot really…if anything since I now have a perfect seal, the bass is actually what I think should sound like for those who can achieve a good seal with the original pads… These headphones are tuned flat as per manufacturer’s description and there is also this video on YouTube [ http://youtu.be/sj69-mWHV3E ] that compares the different versions of the m##x series of headphones, and indeed, the m40x sound almost identical to the source. So having a neutral headphone was appealing to me, and with the new earpads, I don’t notice any frequency range dominating the rest…I think these are still pretty neutral but the pads make them WAY more comfortable….I Recommend them Highly!These headphones are definitely more forward than my HD600, but nothing gross.. I actually kind of like a bit. After a while, I kinda stop thinking about it. They have very good sound staging. They work better in portraying sort of an arc in front of me and I also notice a little better instrument separation too. The HD600 I find is more detailed still, and more natural sounding. Instruments like acoustic guitars and such sound more real/believable, but the m40x work a little better for me in presenting them a little more in front of me than in between me. The angled drivers are definitely making a difference here, because I never noticed this from a set of closed headphones before.They mate very well with the Geek Out 450 USB DAC/Amp (What doesn’t?!) I do notice a big volume change when I hook them up after the HD600 but that’s expected. Still, they benefit a lot from the power provided by the GO450 vs my iphone 5 or laptop headphone port… also expected…They have awesome sound isolation (especially with the new pads). The effect is very similar to wearing my 3M over the ear earmuffs from work. This is a big plus for me as they are going in my backpack with my GO450 every day for work and I’m always in noisy environments…I also travel a couple of times a year and I can see this kit working for me very well during flight time.All in all, I am very pleased with these headphones and it’s an easy recommendation for someone looking for a good headphone without braking the bank!Happy camper here!! Worth every penny! Now back to my music!

Honestly, I’m a little pissed off. Not because these are bad, but because the 40x doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the top best studio headphones to date. The majority of the people choose its bigger sister, the M50x, which don’t get me wrong, the M50x is also a great studio headphone, heck, just the M series are great sets of studio headphones, but reason saying these dominate the rest really is that these cans will be the closest to neutral quality when monitoring your music. The thing with the M50x is that they added an extra cable and “more color” to their sound by dosing up the treble and bass a little bit. And I’m not just saying this one dominates the rest of its sisters because of its best neutrality, it dominates ALL STUDIO HEADPHONES. Don’t believe me? No thanks to SoundSensePro, their YouTube videos can prove it to you.Now of course there might be a few exceptions with some other top-end audiophile headphones that are great for monitoring, but most of them are expensive and they require amps to get the same studio quality, where you could just get these, no amps required for good neutrality, all around $100. These have a nice build quality, nice comfort to the ears, although it could be better in my opinion because it takes some adjustment ever once a while and feels a little tight, otherwise I can listen to these for hours, and surprisingly these have great noise isolation, but I mostly will be talking about the main purpose of why these cans are great, which is the sound you get from them.I have been to several sound boards and monitor music with a variety of different studio headphones (Sony MDR7506, Sennheiser HD 280 Sennheiser HD 650, etc.), and ever since I picked up these headphones I know this is going to be my main source from here on out.Here’s the thing with studio headphones: the goal is to make them as neutral as possible (not flat. There is a difference between flat and neutral sound) so you know that you’re picking up the same exact audio from its main source. Now because bass is very common nowadays, most studio companies think that in order to get a flatter sound, the more bass you need to take away from it so it doesn’t “eat-up” the mids and the highs. This doesn’t mean you can’t hear the lows, it’s still rather noticeable, but the issue is you’re not getting an idea of how much bass is being applied to the audio, and you need that. These headphones not only monitor bass (and it’s just the right amount of bass to monitor as well. You don’t want too much bass or too little), but you get to monitor with a great soundstage performance on the M40x. Now another good headphone I encountered in a recording studio is the old Audio Technica ATH-M40 f/s, which took an hour for me to compare the difference between those and the M40x because they were that close. The only difference I could pick out of them is the M40x is more enhanced with its soundstage and stronger noise isolation, still making these a whole lot better.These are worth every buck if you are looking for best neutral sound. Only thing I would say to be aware of is its portability and durability. It only comes with a handbag if you want to bring it around, the headphones are bigger than they appear, and even though it has great build quality, most of it is made of plastic, so if you are a DJ and want to bring them wherever you go, just don’t be surprised if they break. These are more for staying at your home or sitting in a recording studio for listening than going place-to-place constantly. Will keep you guys updated when I start experiencing trouble-issues.

If you want to love and hate at the same time buy these
I love and hate these headphones.I love being able to change cable, 2 cables inside, also lot of cables available to buy, even with microphones.I love and hate this free angle design, sometimes is annoying and sometimes is good to have. Sometimes my skin gets caught when opening.Build quality is great, read that they can break easily but can’t say anything after a month use.When using for monitoring, perfect. Bass is flat which means it’s not bass heavy. Lets just say if the bass is boomy on these, something is terribly wrong. So the sound is really flat. I mean really “terrible for listening” flat. Middle is really there. They can be really loud because of lower bass.You can hear all the mistakes, even if you never knew there were any. Stereo imaging is awesome, if something is out of balance you know it and you hate it. Highs are flat. You can hear the clarity, but you feel like you need to volume up. But you don’t need to.I have had a lot of headphones and this ones are something different.Let’s now say something about normal casual listening. Loudness is good on iPhone 6. On iPad mini 2 is great. MacBook Pro – excellent, even too much power to handle if used with Boom 2. Lack of bass and lower ohms mean they can be used as standard headphones but I suggest buying shorter cable with thinner 3.5 jack. I have Spigen case on my iPad and jack can barely connect.If you try to be smart and really boost the bass, you can slightly hear the difference between two ear cups in lows. Probably because of socket which is using some space in one earcup which is free in another. Probably that’s why they’re cheaper and less bass boomy than M50x.So don’t think you can outsmart them, pay more money for m50x if you need more bass.Also, comfortable as presented. I don’t sense them on my head, light and enjoyable.Would not use them only for DJing. Would rather buy Technics RPDJ1210 again.They block a lot of noise from outside, that is true, but they are not as good as Technics. Can be used for DJing, true, but there are better choices.Also, even if they’re on your head, people around you can hear what you’re listening. If you’re sharing room with someone, they will hear the music.So overall, great headphones for under 100. Great flat sound for monitoring.If you like bass go for m50x. If you need flat monitor headphones buy these.==============================So after more than a year a review still stays. Sound is amazing. Build quality amazing.Comfort is not the best one though, however that’s always problem with closed headphone, read the below for more information.Just to add I have tested M40x and M50x one by one on the same source and I can tell you M50x sounds different with more bass and treble. They ARE NOT that much better. If you are more into casual listening, M50x would be better choice. However, true flat sound is coming through M40x, not M50x’s. I can easily confirm that. I can change my headphones to M50x’s as that is “Better” model but I will not do that as M40x have more balanced sound. M50x is more as HiFi choice by far as per comparison.So only issue I can add after more than a year of using them is that they are NOT comfortable, not at all. First I thought they are good however I have tested other brands in a while and there is a huge difference. They are really tight (had same issue with DJ headphones however that is good, not bad) and you just cannot used to have them on your head after some time, it’s just frustrating to have them for a longer period. However sound is something you will absolutely love or hate. If the score is between 1 and 100 I will give them 94 without any issues. After them K240 MK2 Studio headphones sounds dull and with something missing. However K240’s are 10 times more comfortable to have on head.=======================Update 03.01.2019With sad news after more than 2 years I can say I no longer have these M40x. I just don’t need them anymore. It’s like an old car which you don’t need once you both latest BMW. I have moved to M50x and I can say that although there is a lot of hatred going to them, M50x is still an upgrade from M40x. M50x has more treble and more bass, some people say that is unnatural however it is just different and actual improvement. Driver moved from 40mm to 45mm hence the difference. I can say that after a while I haven’t even realised that big change as the change isn’t that big. So if you will not miss bass or high treble then spending less for M40x is better choice as I noted before. Only thing left is that M50x does feel more expensive than M40x. You get extra short cable (which you don’t get with M40x) so if you count that cable being £20 then difference falls in really narrow field.ONLY thing I can say now that much MUCH better choice which I can say replaced my M40x sound is SHURE SRH840. This headphones are amazing, sturdy design, Excellent balanced sound and flat response. I use them for monitoring. Not as portable as M40x due to different build but damn, these SHURE’s are something.I should do some webpage review as now I have Magni 3 for a proper review and have tested DT770, DT880, K701, K240 mk2, SRH840, M40x, M50x. I still stick with K701 with bass mod as best causal home listening headphones however others still have significant use in other cases like monitoring/producing/mastering.Also, I will touch one thing which this headphones are like selling which is FLAT SOUND. You will NEVER get Flat sound in headphones. NEVER. There is either Middle spectre based Headphones which these are, or V shaped Bass/treble headphones. Reducing Bass does improve flatness of sound however also removes sound picture and extensive response. If you truly want FLAT sound go to Monitors with sound isolated room. I can for sure say that there is much much more image and sound with DT880/DT770 than from M40x, hell even from M50x. On 250ohm version these show something that you will not hear even with super extra expensive monitors. That is the reason I will not part ways with them as for critical listening they are as brilliant as it gets. However listening youtube videos on them is so bad experience that I don’t wish anyone to experience. Run away from them if you do wish to do that. Or buy Sony.

DINERO GENUINAMENTE INVERTIDO
Después de casi 11 meses con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que son uno de los audífonos más fieles en cuanto a sonido plano se refiere. Yo anteriormente contaba con unos Sony MDR-ZX660AP, de mismo modo adquiridos en esta plataforma hace ya unos 3 o 4 años. Por lo que el sonido que generaban dichos audífonos se habían establecido en mis oídos. Básicamente estaba acostumbrado a tener un sonido no tan plano, muy juguetón con los bajos, los medios estaban bien, aunque no sentía un rango tan amplio en cuanto al panorama musical.Sin embargo, al pasarme con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que fue una gran sorpresa. Son audifonos caros (al menos para mi bolsillo), pero siento que cada peso invertido es una ganga. Comencemos por el lado bueno.PROS: A decir verdad, no soy un especialista en la rama audiófila, ni mucho menos un nato conocedor de la música. No obstante, desde mi punto de vista (como usuario común y corriente que es entusiasta de la música) debo recalcar que los M40X, hacen que la música se escuche tal cual un productor la realizó.Describiría su sonido como algo espaciado y no aglomerado. Por lo que rápidamente detectas las frecuencias de los instrumentos. De mismo modo, te da una especie de panorama increible. A lo cual, hace que identifiques si un bajo está por encima de una guitarra, o si la guitarra está por encima de la voz, y no está demás mencionar que son buenos en cuanto a limpieza de audio nos referimos. Tuve unas malas experiencias con el famoso white noise en algunos formatos de audio, y vaya que con los M40X, los detalles menos perceptibles los escucharas.Otro punto a destacar es su baja impedancia. Por lo general, los audífonos que cuentan con estas características, siempre deben de contar con una fuente de energía que potencie su sonido. Sin embargo, los M40X son una buena alternativa, ya que no requiere de dicha fuente. Aunque, si quieres sacarle todo el jugo a los audífonos, deberías de tomarlo en cuenta.Finalmente, los audífonos ciertamente son de frecuencias planas. Pero no está de más mencionar que sí requiere de una pequeña pulida en el sonido. Por lo que recomiendo arduamente ecualizarlos. De ahí en fuera, la calidad del material de construcción de los audífonos es buena. Con el tiempo el plástico comienza a crujir, pero aun con ese pequeño defecto, vale la pena adquirirlos. Aunque claro, si quisieras una mejor calidad en materiales de contruccion, mejor compra los M50X. Algo que se me olvido mencionar, es que al comprar los audifonos, el paquete te trae funda para tus audifonos, cable de repuesto, adaptador plug para conectarlo a un amplificador o tarjeta de audio y eventualmente los audífonos. (No aparecen en las fotos que adjunte, pero muy probablemente veras fotos de otros clientes en el cual muestren el paquete completo).CONTRAS: A decir verdad y como lo había recalcado con anterioridad, se me hicieron unos audífonos algo caros. Claro, no son para un mercado comercial. Se entiende que son audifonos para un área profesional. Además de que, comparando con sus competencias, el precio se puede justificar. Sin embargo y como todo audifono, con el paso del tiempo comienza un desgaste tanto en almohadillas, como en el soporte que va por encima de nuestra cabeza. Si eres un usuario que mantiene los audífonos solamente en tu estudio y además, cuentas con aire acondicionado, muy probablemente este detalle no comience a los 9 o 10 meses. Sin embargo, si eres una persona que no cuenta con aire acondicionado en su estudio y por desgracia, vives en un área calurosa (cómo es en mi caso y hablamos de 36°C a 40°C), muy probablemente comience más rápido el desgaste del material. Pero ojo, no está de más recalcar que son detalles que no afectan el sonido final del producto. Y por ende, existe solución a este problema. Se pueden comprar almohadillas de mejor calidad, y sigues con la buena experiencia y muy posiblemente más cómodo. Simplemente menciono estos detalles para que tomes en cuenta tu monedero.En resumen, son audífonos que valen mucho la pena. Si llegaran a encontrarlos en descuento, que mejor que adquirirlos. Creo que serian una muy buena opción para adentrarse al mundo de los audífonos de frecuencias planas. Espero y les haya ayudado mi reseña. Les deseo lo mejor. ¡Saludos!

However sound is something you will absolutely love or hate. If the score is between 1 and 100 I will give them 94 without any issues. After them K240 MK2 Studio headphones sounds dull and with something missing. However K240’s are 10 times more comfortable to have on head.=======================Update 03.01.2019With sad news after more than 2 years I can say I no longer have these M40x. I just don’t need them anymore. It’s like an old car which you don’t need once you both latest BMW. I have moved to M50x and I can say that although there is a lot of hatred going to them, M50x is still an upgrade from M40x. M50x has more treble and more bass, some people say that is unnatural however it is just different and actual improvement. Driver moved from 40mm to 45mm hence the difference. I can say that after a while I haven’t even realised that big change as the change isn’t that big. So if you will not miss bass or high treble then spending less for M40x is better choice as I noted before. Only thing left is that M50x does feel more expensive than M40x. You get extra short cable (which you don’t get with M40x) so if you count that cable being £20 then difference falls in really narrow field.ONLY thing I can say now that much MUCH better choice which I can say replaced my M40x sound is SHURE SRH840. This headphones are amazing, sturdy design, Excellent balanced sound and flat response. I use them for monitoring. Not as portable as M40x due to different build but damn, these SHURE’s are something.I should do some webpage review as now I have Magni 3 for a proper review and have tested DT770, DT880, K701, K240 mk2, SRH840, M40x, M50x. I still stick with K701 with bass mod as best causal home listening headphones however others still have significant use in other cases like monitoring/producing/mastering.Also, I will touch one thing which this headphones are like selling which is FLAT SOUND. You will NEVER get Flat sound in headphones. NEVER. There is either Middle spectre based Headphones which these are, or V shaped Bass/treble headphones. Reducing Bass does improve flatness of sound however also removes sound picture and extensive response. If you truly want FLAT sound go to Monitors with sound isolated room. I can for sure say that there is much much more image and sound with DT880/DT770 than from M40x, hell even from M50x. On 250ohm version these show something that you will not hear even with super extra expensive monitors. That is the reason I will not part ways with them as for critical listening they are as brilliant as it gets. However listening youtube videos on them is so bad experience that I don’t wish anyone to experience. Run away from them if you do wish to do that. Or buy Sony.

DINERO GENUINAMENTE INVERTIDO
Después de casi 11 meses con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que son uno de los audífonos más fieles en cuanto a sonido plano se refiere. Yo anteriormente contaba con unos Sony MDR-ZX660AP, de mismo modo adquiridos en esta plataforma hace ya unos 3 o 4 años. Por lo que el sonido que generaban dichos audífonos se habían establecido en mis oídos. Básicamente estaba acostumbrado a tener un sonido no tan plano, muy juguetón con los bajos, los medios estaban bien, aunque no sentía un rango tan amplio en cuanto al panorama musical.Sin embargo, al pasarme con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que fue una gran sorpresa. Son audifonos caros (al menos para mi bolsillo), pero siento que cada peso invertido es una ganga. Comencemos por el lado bueno.PROS: A decir verdad, no soy un especialista en la rama audiófila, ni mucho menos un nato conocedor de la música. No obstante, desde mi punto de vista (como usuario común y corriente que es entusiasta de la música) debo recalcar que los M40X, hacen que la música se escuche tal cual un productor la realizó.Describiría su sonido como algo espaciado y no aglomerado. Por lo que rápidamente detectas las frecuencias de los instrumentos. De mismo modo, te da una especie de panorama increible. A lo cual, hace que identifiques si un bajo está por encima de una guitarra, o si la guitarra está por encima de la voz, y no está demás mencionar que son buenos en cuanto a limpieza de audio nos referimos. Tuve unas malas experiencias con el famoso white noise en algunos formatos de audio, y vaya que con los M40X, los detalles menos perceptibles los escucharas.Otro punto a destacar es su baja impedancia. Por lo general, los audífonos que cuentan con estas características, siempre deben de contar con una fuente de energía que potencie su sonido. Sin embargo, los M40X son una buena alternativa, ya que no requiere de dicha fuente. Aunque, si quieres sacarle todo el jugo a los audífonos, deberías de tomarlo en cuenta.Finalmente, los audífonos ciertamente son de frecuencias planas. Pero no está de más mencionar que sí requiere de una pequeña pulida en el sonido. Por lo que recomiendo arduamente ecualizarlos. De ahí en fuera, la calidad del material de construcción de los audífonos es buena. Con el tiempo el plástico comienza a crujir, pero aun con ese pequeño defecto, vale la pena adquirirlos. Aunque claro, si quisieras una mejor calidad en materiales de contruccion, mejor compra los M50X. Algo que se me olvido mencionar, es que al comprar los audifonos, el paquete te trae funda para tus audifonos, cable de repuesto, adaptador plug para conectarlo a un amplificador o tarjeta de audio y eventualmente los audífonos. (No aparecen en las fotos que adjunte, pero muy probablemente veras fotos de otros clientes en el cual muestren el paquete completo).CONTRAS: A decir verdad y como lo había recalcado con anterioridad, se me hicieron unos audífonos algo caros. Claro, no son para un mercado comercial. Se entiende que son audifonos para un área profesional. Además de que, comparando con sus competencias, el precio se puede justificar. Sin embargo y como todo audifono, con el paso del tiempo comienza un desgaste tanto en almohadillas, como en el soporte que va por encima de nuestra cabeza. Si eres un usuario que mantiene los audífonos solamente en tu estudio y además, cuentas con aire acondicionado, muy probablemente este detalle no comience a los 9 o 10 meses. Sin embargo, si eres una persona que no cuenta con aire acondicionado en su estudio y por desgracia, vives en un área calurosa (cómo es en mi caso y hablamos de 36°C a 40°C), muy probablemente comience más rápido el desgaste del material. Pero ojo, no está de más recalcar que son detalles que no afectan el sonido final del producto. Y por ende, existe solución a este problema. Se pueden comprar almohadillas de mejor calidad, y sigues con la buena experiencia y muy posiblemente más cómodo. Simplemente menciono estos detalles para que tomes en cuenta tu monedero.En resumen, son audífonos que valen mucho la pena. Si llegaran a encontrarlos en descuento, que mejor que adquirirlos. Creo que serian una muy buena opción para adentrarse al mundo de los audífonos de frecuencias planas. Espero y les haya ayudado mi reseña. Les deseo lo mejor. ¡Saludos!
