Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Studio Monitor Headphones Review

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Studio Monitor Headphones

Aug 31, 2017

Reviewed by Mike H. on Reverb

These headphones sound great and are comfortable to wear. I picked them over some similarly priced headphones because they don't add a lot of highs or lows and give a pretty accurate EQ of what you are listening to. I'm using them with a guitar modeling pedal and the flat EQ is helpful for tweaking patches and being able to get the same sound you hear in the headphones through an external monitor.

Great cans for larger melons

I would rate the sound delivered by these headphones as very good. Good volume, good mid-tone and high frequency response, with adequate bass. The response range is as advertised and the sound comes through cleanly across the range. The build quality is middle of the road but so is the price. The headband and its left and right extensions opens quite wide. I measured ten inches between cushions so they should fit well if you have a larger head.

These sound good, are comfortable, and come with a long straight cord which is nice for our application. Biggest complaint is that the ear muff flips and rolls in different directions which becomes annoying with trying to get them on your head or stored away for the night.

Great service. Great product.

Purchased these to be part of my first podcasting setup. I read and watched a ton of reviews and these got consistently good reviews. Highlights include balanced natural sound, detachable cord, cups that can fold flat (but wrong way to fold flat on chest while wearing) and fold up for stowage. I've worn them for hours at a time and have been impressed with both the sound and comfort. You won't find better closed back headphones for the money.

Very comfortable with balanced sound

Reviewed by Sampson on B&H Photo Video

I was looking very forward to these from the reviews I had seen, but I am quite disappointed in the high end frequency performance of these headphones. I will be requesting an RMA. The extreme high frequencies are way over emphasized which makes noise or other high frequency audio too loud and unbalanced. Music has a piercing, grating effect that I just can't handle personally.

Live up to the hype

These headphones are quite comfortable. They sound very good, a very flat response. However the ear cuffs and headband deteriorate very rapidly. I had to replace my ear cuffs after about two years of use. The headband, I do not believe is replaceable. After about four to five years of use, they just quit working.

Great new headphones!

I'm so glad I decided to upgrade my headphones, for recording demos and compositions. These have a perfect flat response, no added bass. I get a true representation of the sounds I'm recording. They are very comfortable, have multiple and detachable cords, and also noise cancellation over the ear. Very nice.

For the price these headphones sound great. I really liked that even though the cable is detachable it uses a lock mechanism, which prevents you from pulling the cord out of headphones. Also, the fact that they include two different cables is nice. Overall recommend 100%.
