Description
Widely acclaimed for their sonic performance, one-ear monitoring capability, and foldable, travel-friendly design, the black Audio-Technica ATH-M50x M-Series monitor headphones offer pro-grade build quality and audio performance for professional studio-based production, location recording, DJing, podcasting, and daily listening. Outfitted with 45mm large-aperture dynamic drivers and an over-ear, closed-back design, the ATH-M50x headphones deliver clarity, deep bass, and extended bandwidth (15 Hz to 28 kHz) while isolating you from outside sounds. Thanks to the 90 swiveling earcups, pro-quality materials, and generous cushioning on the headband and earpads, the headphones are both durable and comfortable to wear. Three detachable, single-sided cables one coiled and two straight are included for optimal operation in the studio or on the go. Each cable sports a gold-plated 3.5mm mini plug for use with mobile devices and computer soundcards, and a 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for easy hookup to audio interfaces, mixers, and stereo receivers. A carrying pouch is supplied with the ATH-M50x for convenient storage and transport of the headphones.Limited-Edition ENSO Design The 2025 limited-edition ENSO headphones celebrate 10 years (and counting) of the ATH-M50x, launched in 2014, by returning to a classic, all-black style with a twist. The name ENSO was inspired by Japanese paintings, where artists create a circle with one singular motion, representing the cyclical nature of life.The circle reflects both Audio-Technica's return to the original sophisticated black color after releasing a spectrum of limited-edition designs and the iconic rings on the ATH-M50x. For the first time, the headphones will feature custom engravings on the rings and headband sliders, reflecting the brush strokes of sumi ink and audio waves. A serial number engraved into the matte black headphones ensures every pair is unique. The packaging also includes bespoke designs, created for this campaign.45mm Drivers The ATH-M50x features proprietary 45mm large-aperture dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for high-quality sound reproduction.Tuned for Clarity and Deep, Accurate Bass The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned flat for exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, along with deep, accurate bass character. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 28 kHz, the ATH-M50x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design The ATH-M50x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.90 Swiveling Earcups and Foldable Design Equipped with 90 swiveling earcups, the ATH-M50x ensures a great fit and allows effortless one-ear monitoring, a welcome benefit for DJs and singers. The earcups fold up to meet the headband, saving space during storage. A carrying pouch is supplied for protection and convenience while transporting the headphones.Three Detachable Single-Sided Cables To expand its versatility, the ATH-M50x incorporates a detachable cable design that exits from the left side. This enables convenient cable swapping and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphones. Three cables are included a 3.9 to 9.8' coiled cable, a 9.8' straight cable, and a 3.9' straight cable to let you choose the best cable for sessions, traveling, or listening at home.3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Screw-On Adapter The attached cable is terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A secure 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for compatible connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers.
