Audio-Technica ATH-M50x BK: Studio Monitor Headphones for Tracking and Mixing

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x BK is a closed-back professional monitor headphone featuring proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils. The same coveted sonic signature of the original ATH-M50 is present here, now with the practicality of three interchangeable detachable cables. Circumaural over-ear contours ensure excellent passive sound isolation, making this model a top pick for studio tracking, mixing, DJ monitoring, and private listening.
