Akai 50X Headphones Wire

ATH 50x is a great monitor full size headphones. I have compared them with Beats studio which does not even stand a change on the sound quality. The build quality is sturdy and comfortable on my ears. They come with detachable cables for travel. It comes with a carry bag but i think it better to bundle it with sports case.

I had been using my Sony MDR7505 headphones since I had bought them in 1999. They were my go to gig pair, mixing and mastering set and daily listening. In truth they still work well and I still use them for various things. They are a quality, reliable and great sounding headphone. That being said, THE ATH-50x BLOW THEM AWAY. The 50x headphones are the most clear sounding, thump bumping, crisp monitor headphones I have ever listened to in my 23 year musical career. Please also be aware that I am not saying this as some false euphemism or grand metaphor, I have had the opportunity to use everything from top of the line Sennheiser to bottom feeder gaming console headsets you get for 5.99 on Black Friday. The ATH-50x hold thier own to the best. They are slightly less bassy than a specialized pair, they are wired and they are a bit tight (being new) yet the sound quality of these for being around 175$ is matched by none I have heard. The sound quality of these headphones is amazing. Crisp, vibrant and easy to distinguish. With them being WIRED I really like the cable system. Detachable from the bottom of the left earpiece and using a solid plug they work well with swapping from 1/4in to 1/8in. Good build quality. 10/10 For Value WITH Quality. I will be most likely buying a second pair for day to day usage and I would HIGHLY recommend these to any person whom asked me. If you are looking for a pair of mastering/monitor/mixing headphones and you dont mind the wires, these are the pair. Paying less than 200$ for these should be criminal.

I have tried and or owned many headphones and the ATH 50x bl is the best sounding and best looking of any. I have been listening to music since before HI-FI (70+ years old). I enjoy the portability of my music on iPods and smart phones and the M50x brings out the best of these devices. But hooked up to a simple CD player brings your music listening to a new level. During the recording of "Kisses on the Bottom" Paul McCartney along with Diana Krall and her band they wore ATH 50's. Listening to that album with my 50x's It felt as if I was at Capital Studios with them. Thank you Audio-technica for a great product. You made an old man very happy.

This cable adapter is enabling me to use my old wire headphones.

I use these headphones for mix n mastering. The wire they come with also works for the K240 MKII headphones as well.

Awesome sounds from Akai to add to my library!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, great quality construction with good sound. The first thing I noticed was the excellent packaging and quality construction of the product. It comes with 3 different sizes of ear buds, tangle free wire and the portion of the wire at each bud, the USB-C connector and at the "Y" connector appear reinforced. The product is easy to use and intuitive, press is for volume up, down for volume down and in the middle to play/pause music. Sound quality is above average for headphones in this price range. After tweaking the equalizer on Spotify, I was able to get excellent bass and decent highs out of the headphones. They are able to isolate sound well and while I haven't tested the water resistant capabilities, that is a selling point.

I find Sony headphones to last the longest of any headphones I have eve had which is why I stick to Sony. the first thing to happen with other brands is the wire ripping out of the earphone but the Sony headphones are a lot stronger and are a much better deal!

The sound you'd expect from a more expensive pair of headphones. I'm a bit of a headphone fanatic, but wanted something that would pair well with my mic and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. While most headphones would do the job, I wanted these to be comfortable but not 100% noise cancelling. These fit that bill perfectly. The collapsible design is a bonus. They sound great - no distortion and are quite responsive to fine tuning adjustments to ensure accurate and quality output. My only concern is the wire from the head pad to each headphone. I'm always afraid I'm going to pull it out. However, this has not been an issue. I should note the wire appears because when you adjust the headphones there is a grooved metal (steel?) adjustment band that is exposed. I like it because they stay put and you aren't constantly having to readjust them. The coiled cable is very long and high quality. The adapter for the plug screws into place to ensure, again, a good connection without any loss of sound quality.
