Perfect for video editing
Best audio of clarity while video editing. Probably the best out of the current market. The bass is clear. Is good it comes with a 2.0 if you want to plug into a PC/Mac.
Amazing audio quality with great accessories
Ironically, I managed to buy these off a reviewer who was selling them. I can't imagine why he'd get rid of them though as they are amazing. This was a serious upgrade from my previous headset for me, which I primarily used for gaming. But these are purely for DJing and listening to music. However, every time I've played games with this, especially Elite Dangerous or other games with high definition audio they really show why they are top quality.
Obviously there are more expensive AT and other headsets out there but for me, these excel. The h

Admittedly the volume is a little low but the other sets of Audio-Technica earbuds and headsets I also own are the same - paired with a headphone amplifier they are all beasts! They're not wireless and that's fine for DJing from a controller and my PC. Two different cables are included - a springy cable and an extra long normal cable. There is also an adapter jack from 3.5mm to standard 6.3mm jack. All of them are gold plated and the cables are well insulated. You also get a soft bag with them for safer transport. I bought a hard container off eBay and regretted it as it would only carry the headphones and one cable. So just stick with the bag and save yourselves some cash. Overall for the music I play and listen to - breaks, Progressive House, Trance, Melodic Techno and pure Techno - these are incredible. I was lucky to get them for $134 so half-price. But full-price they are still worth it.So good
These headphones sound quality is great. The overall build is great. But to go further in the sound quality of these headphones is amazing it gives a cinema type vibe its very loud and there is no sound leaking. The wire doesn’t bend and the headphones are bendable so it very easily to take to travel.
Show detailsGreat, solid headphones
Solid, fairly light, great sound, good looking. Bought this for production and DJ monitor headphones to replace the hd25's I have, because I found they were lacking in bass. The M50x are great, they go very loud, you might have to adjust a bit if coming from something else. As with any headphones, always take them for a spin in store first.
Bonus points for including various cables in the box

Worth every cent
I brought this pair back in July 2015 and have used it almost every single day until now. The only issue til this day is that I needed to swap out the ear cushion as the original have degraded so much over the 4+ years.
The headphone is light and easy to bring on the train, bus or plane.
The bass is deeper, however it does not drown out the higher tones.
The durability is off the charts. (I am super careless. i.e. I have dropped it, thrown it, bumped it, etc...)
The wire is anchored it has saved my phone from certain death. (As long as the jack stays plugged in.
I would highly recommend this pair to all my friends and family looking for a headphone wihtin the 150-250 price range. (I brought these at 180 back in the days.)
Show detailsGreat Product for Great Price
You can find these headphones at around $200 and for that price it's pretty great. The sound quality is great for what you get, though I'm not entirely satisfied with it and I'm planning to move onto higher-quality headphones. The noise-cancelling aspect of the headphones is great but not perfect (you can still hear things like a conversation going on near you) and it's going strong for a couple of years. I don't have any issue with comfort, these are very comfortable headphones. It feels of great construction and not flimsy at all, and it's been a nice companion for long overseas plane rides, vacuuming and casual listening.
Show detailsNice headphones
Have been using these daily for gaming, youtube, twitch and music daily for 3 months now and so far so good! If you want to use these for outdoors, definitely consider buying the wireless ones.
Show detailsGreat general purpose headphones
I use these headphones to edit videos in a noisy open-plan office. I've also used them for monitoring audio on a film shoot. They offer great clarity and accurate sound. The closed-back design helps to block out environmental noise.
I've worn them for a full day of editing before and, while they are a little tiring after long periods, they are not as bad as other studio headphones I've used.
It comes with three difference cables, which is a nice touch. Pads are replaceable too.

I used to play competitive FPS, so i needed a good pair of headphones to give me an advantage. It was really good for gaming, watching movies and listening to music. This is my 3rd pair of audio technicas and i am very happy with their brand

Great for listening and great to look at
I use this to listen to music for my daily commute to work and uni. They're super comfy and can be worn for a long time without it hurting. I haven't had any issues with them so far and they make for a great bit of head fashion.

Decent.
The soundstage is very good and it has great bass. You can quite easily distinguish notes and sounds from each other in a song. The difference between my old earbuds (samsung defaults) was night and day. My only critique of them is that they are tight and will make your ears sweat within an hour.
Show detailsGreat value
Excellent headphones with almost perfect sounds quality. For their price they compete with earphones twice as expensive. Build quality is excellent and the addition of several different cables is extremely useful especially if the cables are damaged. Also these headphones are extremely comfortable and fit almost any head size really well.

Perfect headphones
I think i finally found the perfect headphones, just wow. The sound is so perfect, clean and balanced, i'm so surprised.
I've read a lot about them and there's several good reviews about them but just try them and I'm way impressed.
This headset is great and so far so good, I highly recommend it.
Best all round headphones. Highly recommend
I bought this for my son and compared to all of the headphones he had in the past, this one ticked all the boxes. He said that the sound quality and comfort is excellent and for the price as well as being a perfect all round headphone. It is definitely worth buying.
Show detailsTHE BEST
Whether it be for mixing or listening, you can't go past them in the price range they are. I own headphones from $20 to $500 and quite honestly the M50x sound the best for everyday listening, brilliant build quality, honestly I'd be lost without them. NOTHING in the price range even comes close to the levels of comfort you can get with these.
