    I purchased the Audio-Technica ATH-M20X Professional Studio Monitor Headphones in black a few months ago, and I must say I’m thoroughly impressed with their performance. These headphones deliver an exceptional audio experience that goes above and beyond their price point.The sound quality is simply astonishing. The clarity and precision in the audio are outstanding, making them a fantastic choice for both casual listening and professional audio work. I’ve used these headphones for music production and mixing, and they’ve proven to be reliable and accurate, capturing every nuance of the audio.Comfort is another notable feature. The circumaural design fits comfortably over the ears, providing a snug yet not overly tight fit, which is essential for long listening sessions. The ear cushions are plush and soft, ensuring that I can wear them for hours without discomfort.What’s more, the build quality is sturdy and durable. These headphones have held up well to daily use, and the materials used give them a premium feel. The detachable cable is a convenient feature, making it easy to replace if needed.In summary, the Audio-Technica ATH-M20X headphones are an incredible value for their price. The audio quality, comfort, and build make them a top choice in their category. Whether you’re a professional audio engineer or a music enthusiast, these headphones won’t disappoint. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic audio experience without breaking the bank.Pro- great headphones for podcasting. super low latency (I cannot distinguish a delay while monitoring.)con- no onboard volume control (I use a mixer to adjust volume while monitoring)

    I bought these because of the price and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I mainly bought these to practice piano without bothering my family, but the comfortable fit and excellent sound quality was a bonus.Great for home studio or to practice in private.

    Before we go furthur into the review, I want to be clear that I am no Audio expert or someone who works on editing videos/audios or work in audio monitoring. I just wanted to upgrade to a headphone from my earbuds. I have tried on many headphones in the shops and malls.PROS:1.Premium build. very sturdy with a sturdy cable.2.Great comfort. Very soft padding and the headphones themselves are very light.3.Great value for headphones and monitoring headphones category. This is the best bang you can get for this price range.4. Unbelievable sound clarity and perfectly flat awesome output which delivers the whole range of music(you can literally hear all the instruments, vocals in the music)One potential Con which might also be a pro for some: very long cable(almost 10 feet and this is not detachable)Now to the product itself:1.Design: The design is straight forward professional and simple. The product feels premium though it doesn’t have the pizzazz that Beats and other headphones have. It is mostly plastic with the base of construction is metal band on which the padding and plastic is added. they are very light and comfortable to use. They also do a very good job of noise isolation though it is not advertised for this feature. I have been using it at times for more than 2 hours and it feels very comfortable. The headphone is over the ear design so it covers your ears completely and rests on your head not on ears. The soft padding which might be faux leather or some form of synthetic leather is very very comfortable. it is also provided with a pin that is 6.35mm and also the standard 3.5mm. I guess the additional 6.35mm is for audio equipments that are used in editing/ recording areas.2.Sound quality: you have to experience it to understand how good the quality is. This is the area where i believe this headphones beat other headphones out of the park. You hear precisely how the music was designed in first place with no unwanted peakof bass or mid ranges like how beats and some other headphones deliver. So for the fans of bass this might not be a great choice. but one thing for sure is that, You can hear every bit of the audio equipment used on the songs very distinctly even in moderate volumes. I am the kind of guy who wants to listen to all the instruments and vocals. With other earbuds and ear phone i usually have to crank volume to unsafe levels to hear all the range of instruments used in a song because the ear buds amplify or magnify the basss or mid range. This headphones are the best Flat headphones you can get for this price which delivers the sound how the composer wants you to hear it. The other difference I notice is that with earphones or ear buds you feel that the music is happening inside your head when you hear songs. With this headphones you feel like it is playing in the environment not in your head like in a hall.Now to the only potential Con of the product: The cable provided is not removable from the headphones and they are very long (10 feet). This might not make it as portable as some would like it to be. I personally do not find this as a con as i manage by rolling and binding the excess cable with the plastic strip provided with that usually accompanies the cables.

    So I got these yesterday, and I know I am not going to keep them for long (more on that later) so I want to get this review in ASAP. First off, while I know what I like & I can recognize quality, I am definitely NOT an audiophile, so I’m not going to try & tell you in TECHNICAL terms why these headphones are so great, but I can give a layman’s perspective. Also, I am going to do a lot of comparing to the Samson SR850’s I just bought AND my standby Koss PortaPros (which I compared the Samson’s to in my review of them) Anyway, lets get started.First of all the looks of these. My 13 year old daughter unboxed them while I was at work & immediately exclaimed “These are NICE !” With that, she put them on, plugged in her iPod Touch & didn’t take them off until I got home several hours later. This from a kid who’s favorite headphones are a purple pair of Knockoff Beats I bought at a flea market. They are MUCH better looking than the Samsons. The earcups are smaller & lower profile, and the headband is covered in a stylish black leatherette. There is a LARGE AudioTechnica logo across the top of them, but who’s going to be looking at the top of your head ?As far as comfort goes, they are very comfortable, They are much lighter than the Samson’s, and as I said smaller. The ear pads are suitably soft & covered in the same leather like material as the headband. And while I doubt you could lie on your side comfortably with them on, they would be MORE comfortable than the Samson’s in that position.As for build quality, they are REALLY light, which worries me a bit, but they seem very solid. The main structure is definitely metal and the wires are thick & well covered. The plugs also look a step up from your average headphone connector. While I am sure my kids would manage to break them eventually, I think they would last longer than your average headphone. And with me, they will be just fine.Finally, lets talk sound. They sound AWESOME ! Really awesome. Much better than headphones at this price should sound. When I listened to the Samson’s the first time I knew they sounded better than my Koss’ … but not by a lot. These are OBVIOUSLY better. The bass response is better, and everything else is CRYSTAL CLEAR ! Just stunning. That being said, they are not as loud as the Samson’s which kinda surprised me since they are smaller & closed back. But because of the better bass & improvements across the full range of sound, I would definitely put these ahead of the Samson’s AND the Koss’ & I am sure ANYONE who heard them all side by side by side would agree.Now there are a few negatives. Like I said they are smaller & Lighter than the Samson’s. And I was looking for something LARGER … so in that respect, they are going away from what I was looking for. And I still am surprised the Samsons are slightly louder. With the bigger size they should need more power to drive them properly. But since the M20’s have less sound leak than the SR850’s, this is really a non-issue.And while they are very comfortable, after wearing them for a short time its clear that my ears are sweating in the M20’s where they were not in the SR850’s. Again, it may be because the latter are semi-open, but I think its because of the cloth covering on the SR850’s pads AND because they are bigger.Overall, even with the negatives, I would recommend these over the Samson SR850’s w/o question. But, if that extra $15.00 means a lot to you, the Samson’s are still an EXCELLENT Choice. And they will probably be my choice, since once my son HEARS these. he will be wanting to trade me the Samson’s for them.UPDATE: I have had these for just about 36 hours & I just had a perfect stranger come up to me & ask me if I liked them.l He obviously knew a lot more about headphones than I do & has much better equipment (a $170 pair of BeyerDynamics) but he was impressed with these especially at the price.UPDATE to the UPDATE: I recently bought a Fiio E6 Headphone Amp & when my son comes home from College, I will try these out with the Amp. Considering how much they improved my Samson SR850’s (I would put that combination AHEAD of these now) I am sure they will sound even more awesome. However, I will NOT be buying that Amp for my son. If he wants one, he can buy it himself.IN RESPONSE TO …. the two questions …. First off the Amp improves the M20’s as much as it improves the Samson SR850’s. The sound is cleaner, and I prefer using the degraded setting on the amp with increased volume on my source on these as well.Second, as I said without the amp, these sound nearly as good as the Samson’s WITH the amp. So I feel I have done enough for my son in that respect. If he wants to UP the quality with the amp, that’s his choice. Just because I am not paying for it, doesn’t represent my feeling for him one way or another. Of maybe it does. Either way I feel secure in my role as a parent & the opinion of one crank won’t affect that.

    Looking for a budget friendly pair of headphones and don’t care of wireless technology and ant to remain friends with your wallet? Well then your search has finished.I collect headphones since listening to music all day seems to be a requirement for my lungs to breath, o I can say I have try a lot of headphones through the years, and this headphones get it just right in a lot of ways.There is not such a thing as the “perfect pair of headphones”, you should always keep this in mind if you are planing on going crazy with the headphones shopping or if you are just in the hunt for a new pair. Being this said, if your main interest is finding a well sounding-budget-friendly-headphones, this is juts for you.This are monitor headphones, so they are kinda meant or target for an audience working in music studios, which means that sound is very well balanced, bass is not overwhelming at all and I must say is not too strong either, but the overall sound of this headphones is just as clear as it can be! You will not find another pair of headphones this well balance and build for the price.Build quality on this things is pretty amazing too. My hands have never felt a so solid $40 pair of headphones before, my eyes have not seen this beautiful build on any other headphones in this price range, it’s just beautiful.Being that said, they are not very stylish but don’t have an ugly design either. They are mostly made of hard plastic (very durable feel plastic, like, very very durable feel; Like Fisher’s price little baby’s car type of feel) with the exception of the adjusters which are made of metal. The fit is very comfortable and they provide just a great sound isolation. They don’t get hot or hurt your ears after long listening sessions (I use them 9hrs a day on an average,never had a problem with them) and sound isolation provides almost a sound cancellation quality as the one provided by my Sennheiser PXC 550s.Things to keep in mind:Sound quality is pretty flat, if you are into a more vibrant and bassy sound experience, I suggest checking the M40X instead or the M50X,Cord is not detachable, and this is pretty much the only I don’t like from this headphones. Being able to detach the cable adds more convenience to the product, since this makes your headphones a little more durable, since they are easier to take care of and also make it easier to travel. In the headphones defense, the cord is super high quality, probably the best quality I’ve seen in a wired headphone before.However, since this headphones are meant for in studio listening, the cord is also super long, so if you are planing on using this headphones outside your PC set up or outside your house, you should really take this in consideration.VERDICT:If you want some very high quality budget friendly headphones, this is just the pair you need. This headphones are very well made, sound quality is clear and well balanced (lacking some bass 🙁 ) and they are very suitable for long periods of use.If you want a more vibrant and bass heavy sound, but remain in budget, check the M40X instead or the M50X.And if you still want to remain on this price range, but need more bass for the price, check Skullcandy headphones, they have a lot of budget friendly and stylish headphones and most of them have a rich and powerful bass, though keep in mind their build quality is not the best and sound signature is not as balance as Audio Technica or Sennheiser.

    The Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones is the best pair of headphones I have owned. When my other headphones gave out, just from normal wear and tear, I asked my friends and family what kind of headphones to buy, and they all said to get Audio-Technicas. So I took their recommendation and bought this pair. There are many pros and very few cons to these headphones that I will explain later.Pros• The priceo These headphones are $49.00, a pretty low price for headphones. The last pair of headphones I owned, HyperX clouds, cost $100, and I can already tell the audio quality is better; but more on that later. In addition to the low price these headphones have free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime.• Audio Qualityo Like I previously stated this pair of headphones out performed my old pair in playing music, watching TV or movies, and playing video games. The sound is crisp and clear and has a good range. The quality is really amazing for a pair of headphones this cheap.• Designo I really like the design of these headphones, it is simple and for me I don’t need a fancy design to be satisfied, but some people might want a flashier or more futuristic design. A little con inside this pro is that it only comes in one color if you care about that: personally I don’t. Another part of the design that I like is the long cord, the last pair that I owned I could not even lean back in my chair on my computer using it. So far it hasn’t been tangled too terribly like I expected, but I only use it at my computer so I have not worn them outside yet.Cons• No good place to put mod mico I use these headphones for playing PC games and talking with my friends so I needed a place to put a mod mic. The one spot that worked, right below the logo on the side, is a little far away from my mouth so I am pretty quiet. This is a really minor inconvenience, but something to consider if you are going to buy a mod mic with this pair of headphones.• No noise cancellingo If you are planning to wear these on an airplane or some other noisy place beware that these do not have the best noise cancelling. They have big ear cuffs that provide some natural noise cancelling, but do not have any real noise cancelling technology. The lack of noise cancelling does make sense with the low price point.Overall I would definitely recommend this pair of headphones to my friends and family. It is a low price with good audio quality and a solid design. The minor cons do not affect my rating. This is a great product and I will continue to buy their products and recommend them to my friends and family.

    It might not be the ideal reference for mixing and master, but if you’re looking it for monitoring your signal, it’s amazing.
