Spectacular sound for under $200
I bought a pair of ATH-M50's seven years ago, and I used them every day until they sadly gave out. However, considering the amount of use and abuse I put them through, that is perfectly acceptable. Anyway, I received a brand new pair of ATH-40x's several days ago, and I can whole-heartedly say that these headphones are excellent and almost up to par with my old M50's. They sound incredible and produce excellent, deep, and immersive sound. The only caveat that I've encountered is the standard earpads. They are firm and uncomfortable for prolonged listening sessions, an easy fix with a bit of research. Moreover, their construction isn't as sturdy as the ATH-M50's; however, a little "self-fusing" silicone tape applied to the sensitive plastic joints can give these headphones a longer life and enjoyment for many years. Nevertheless, the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Headphones are the best "bang for the buck" headphones I've ever owned.Read full review

Not the perfect headphones for a DJ
I purchase this headphone because it had very good reviews. But unfortunately is not the best choice of headphones at all. They are uncomfortable when In use. In able to listen to music clearly, you must turn on the volume pretty high. In addition, its bass is pretty poor. I purchase this product for about $80. I believe I could of gotten a bit more for the price. Since this is supposed to be a profesional product.

Sound is good
Took these over to older lady's house who always listened to her classical on a Bose system and she wanted to buy them from me. I got her a set. Got my first AT 30 in mid 70's They were the most comfortable I ever had. I know sound. These are good fit for full phones and all around great sound. Some may say base is not strong enough, maybe they need to learn what the artist put down without all the boost and fake manipulation. These allow you to do that and hear all the music's detail. For those others, us an EQ and have what you want but every interface between you and sound there is a cost, you loose detail. Spin a disk with a good AT Shabata and learn something.

Best Headpones!
I am a headphone collector and I must say I find myself grabbing these cans more and more. They are neutral, have a great sound stage, do really well with female vocals, and give a flat response...meaning Deadmaus5 sounds the way it is intended not colored in any way. Many headphones are V shaped in their sound reproduction. The highs and lows are the peaks of the V and the midbass is often overlooked or not detailed and muddy. These best many headphones costing 2x, even 3x their superior. If you really want them to shine hook them up to a DAC and headphone amp and you will be in heaven. My only consideration to make theses better would be a possible ear pad replacement. Other than that really close to perfect. To get close to these you would have to buy Senns HD600 or higher

Excellent Headphones
Over the years, I've used lots of headphones for radio production and natural sounds recording. The Audio Technica ATH-M40x is easily my favorite. The sound quality is excellent. I love the very convenient interchangeable cords. And the ear pads are not only very comfortable, but also far more durable than any other headphones I've used. My own pair is several years old but still as good as new. I bought these for a friend who is a professional video producer, and she loves them too. ATH-M40x headphones do a great job and they're an outstanding value. I recommend them very highly.
