Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones

Pros: Quality sound

Cons: Not comfortable for those with glasses but you'll get used to it after a while.

Pros: Extremely comfortable. They have great sound.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Since my documentary Man vs Snake came out several years ago...I've been a guest on a lot of gaming podcasts. My old headphones were no longer comfortable, they were just a cheap Nady set. After getting these, I honestly tossed the Nady set in the trash. With the Nady set, 15 minutes into an interview... I was ready to be done. With this set... I've went up to 3 hours so far, with no discomfort. That has been am amazing experience for me! The comfort, I cannot stress this enough, so comfortable for extended use. I've got a large diameter head. Hats rarely fit me. Finding a pair of headphones that is this comfortable is amazing. I wear glasses as well, and they still fit extremely comfortable. The audio is everything I had read it was. Great sound. super comforrtable. Well worth the price for me. The choices of cables that are supplied with the headphones is a nice touch as well. I use these to monitor directly from my Blue Yeti mic during podcasts. Perfect combo.

Pros: Good sound (for avg person) Looks good Good connection options

Cons: Can get warm/uncomfortable if not adjusted right, and takes some time getting used to.

Pros: -Decent audio -Supple cord

Cons: -Poor audio isolation -Cheap feeling -Uncomfortable (cups too small) -Audio isn't neutral (bass is emphasized)

Overall Review: Maybe my expectations were unduly raised thanks to mainstream reviews, but I was deeply disappointed by the ATH-M50x. My head & ears are in the average size range, yet the cups pinch my ears and become uncomfortable fairly quickly. I was also displeased that the isolation isn't good despite being "closed"; maybe this is due to the poor fit.. As for audio, it's fine but not neutral and pushes bass too much for my tastes. I'm sure that bass heads would disagree. For less cash, there are lots of better options from Sony & Sennheisser and I should have repurchased my old favorites rather than buy these

Pros: - many ways to twist, turn, and fold the headphones - detachable cable with lock-in feature

Cons: - bass lingers and sounds distorted - these will make your ears sweat fast - clamp force is on the weaker side

Overall Review: If you are hardset on buying headphones within the Audio Technica's ATH-M line, then I recommend the M30x's over these.
