Main FeaturesProprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice coilsExceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with deep, accurate.

Although this may be a good thing for most casual users looking for portability, it's a feature you really dont miss in a pro studio and this particular folding system makes them more fragile and prone break. Aside from the other Audio-Technica headsets mentioned above, the AKG K371 is a fine, more stylish alternative to the ATH-M40x.Out of the box, the phones sounded to have a somewhat v-shape, but this has smoothed out significantly with use. Both will work for one-ear monitoring, and both can lay flat to fit around the neck when not in use. If you hate the classic Audio-Technica sound and decry it as “v-shaped,” then you might love the 40X. If you’re the sort of person who loves accurate audio…you’ve probably already heard one and passed judgment on it.

Yes, in fact, the company has quite a few options when it comes to Bluetooth headphones (and earbuds).Generally, though, you’re unlikely to notice much of the treble discrepancies between the ATH-M40X and ATH-M30x headsets. Examples of things that sound more forward on the M50X would be heavily distorted rhythm guitars, the attack on toms, the snappiness of snare drums, and even some vocals depending on the voice. Their treble is probably a little bit too sharp for casual music listening, but they have a very flat midrange. All models have 40mm diameter drivers, neodymium magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice-coils for lowest mass, resulting in extended frequency response and the capability to produce high sound levels, Drivers, oxygen-free copper litz cables, and ear-pads may be replaced by the user. Mainly, the difference is whether you prefer the added treble emphasis on the ATH-M40x or the slightly more subdued treble volume on the ATH-M50x.
