They are among the best-closed headphones I have heard for the price and if I wanted cans with good bass and clear highs, these are the ones to get.
If you’re looking for a portable pair of over-ears and you like your sound a little warm, for the money, the Audio Technica ATH-M50x are well worth checking out.
They are lively, have an extra hit of bass and make for a particularly involving listen if you prefer electronic music to introspective singer-songwriters.
If you're looking for an all-around solid pair of headphones you can use whether you're editing videos or listening to music on the bus, these should be on your shortlist.
These headphones are a modestly improved version of the already spectacular model they're based on, and among the best-sounding pairs you'll find for < $200.

Good Audiophile Headphone

Earlier in my teens, I used to listen to MP3 songs.
Later came to know lossless audio,
My musician friend suggests Audio Technica ATH-M50X - fell in love to intrinsic details .
Low - mid range crisp clear
Bass as unadulterated.
I purchased at 9500 @ 2017, now it's 11k
Even worth under 12k category.

The only drop back is sweating on long listening sessions under humid climate.
Advantage it's foldable with leather carry case.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x.

Beautiful sound for body and soul

Wow... Wow... Just wow... I never felt music and sound like this before... It's a a beauty. It's really good but heavy and can't listen without break after 20-30 mintues max. Using it with DAC are more helpful with type c or lighting based device. But even if you use it with 15K mobile phone without DAC it won't disappoint you. I myself used it with two different price range mobile and its sound quality is superb but again these are heavy and I sweat alot. So it get difficult for me to use it longer then 30 minutes. But man o man what a headphones these are!!! Just awesome...

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones. We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying the beautiful sound quality they provide.

My first studio grade headphones

These are my first studio grade headphones. I just bought them a week ago and I cannot describe the feeling I experienced listening to my favorite composers. Every instrument crisp, every note clear. I really love the way it handles the entire frequency range in such a balanced way. One week in, I am already sold. Should have got it sooner.
