Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Over-Ear Professional Studio Monitor Headphones

The Audio Tecnica M20x is the perfect headphone anyone is on the fence of buying it.. it's really good one. received on time and it really sounds great and truly emphasis on every single aspect of music, everything is well balanced and really enjoyable sound quality great for mixing mastering at this budget, first time purchased any product from audio technica and it is amazing, Design is plasticy but premium and cuisions for me are comfortable enough and simple no nonsense design is something which everyone can appreciate cable is way longer.remember this thing that it won't be very loud if you're using with mobile phones as it is a little high impedance 47 ohm headphone, works fine with laptops and computers, but audio interface makes it even better.clarity in the headphone is awesome, audiophiles will love this for sureonly thing which is kind of bad is the no detachable cable and no sidewards movement of speakers. rest if you can save more go for its successors they are even better

This is one of the best purchases i have made in recent times. The headphones are simply awesome bang for the buck. I purchased them from 3200 from Amazon and got the delivery in 2 days since the 2 day shipping was available. This review is being posted after about 2 weeks of usage.Dividing the Review into Pros and Cons -Pros1. Excellent Soundstage.2. Brilliant Clarity. Each instrument can be heard clearly and you will hear sounds that you never heard before.3. Build Quality is sturdy and premium materials have been used. Considering that M20x are the starting range of the Audio Technica Headphone, i have to say they have done a really good job. Premium materials have been used, the foam at the top of the band and around the ear cups is of really good quality.Cons1. The wire is really long and while this can be a pro as well since it gives the ability to move around i would have like a shorter wire and preferably a detachable wire as is provided with the 40x and other models higher up in the range2. They are big ! Not something that will be very easy to carry around and i rely on by earphones for taking along in my laptop bag. These are meant to be enjoyed at home for me. When worn properly your entire ears will fit in the ear cups. And this provided excellent sound quality and noise isolation. However, the size will need getting used to and now after 2 weeks i do not feel that awkward and am able to enjoy them despite the huge size.3. Your ears will sweat since they are in the ear cups and while they cannot be worn for long intervals - that is more than 30 minutes at the start. Once you get used to them - after about 2 weeks and when sitting in an AC room you can easily listen to them for hours. The sound quality is so good that once you are accustomed to the size you enjoy them immensely.At the end i would like to say that these are something that every music lover should have ! Yes, the sound quality is so good ! I listened to all sorts of music on these and i have to say that when used with an equalizer they are especially good. I personally use an App called "Power Amp" on Android, which works great. Than i also listen to a lot of Wynk and You Tube for which an app called "Bass Equalizer" does a really good job. This app will work with online music, that is the beauty of it.The headphones have a lot of bass, their inbuilt signature is flat and for bass lovers, when used with the apps i mentioned they give sufficient bass. The music that excels the most on these headphones is live music, like MTV unplugged. And Acoustic music where guitars and Cellos are used.In a nutshell, if you primarily listen to music on earphones since they are so much more convenient and easy to carry than these will be a revelation for you.

5 ⭐ for sound quality 4⭐ because of the comfort.Writing after 6 months of usage. This is an absolute best purchase you can have on a budget(I know what you think..though I said budget but I had to save up for three months to buy this for 4.5k INR. But compared to other studio monitor headphones and the sound quality youre getting for this price is just undeniable). I sincerely disagree with every single comments out there saying this doesn't have bass. If you're an avid listener and who listen to a lot of flac then you'll understand once you listen to this. So go for it.Even though they said it's flat sound but I could already feel decent amount of bass without changing any eq settings. If you want true flat sound I would say sennheiser is the choice. I have used sennheiser and Sony and this would come in the middle of both when it comes to bass but the sound quality is crisp af and top notch. And yes it does work great for movies too...I haven't played games much with this apart from one or two times.. and the wire is indeed quite long as mentioned in many other reviews...it can be a plus or minus depending on your purpose..for me it's okay as I sometimes use it with full length at home and I barely took it outside. But you can coil it up and use some velcro tape which I do sometimes..initially I felt it little bit tighter which is common for every headphones and as I have a big head but that was changed as I got used to it and it loosen up little bit and now fits perfectly without any discomfort which I experienced in the first two months.The only two drawbacks for me so far is that..one is the cushions tends to get your ears sweaty if you live in hot n humid place like mine. But inside an air conditioned room that wouldn't be much of an issue. Second thing is the small wire that goes between the headband and speakers on both side...that I felt like a poor design choice and gives me anxiety manytimes that if I'll break it somehow.

Good quality...One of the best brand for studio purposes....It's noise cencelession is awesome....
