The Audio Technica ATH-M50x are a pretty good headphone. I used these to mix releases for years (before that the regular ATH-M50). The ATH-M50x sound pretty flat with good bass response and flat frequency response throughout. I have noticed that with all ATH-M50 models eventually they somewhat die. By this I mean there begins to be a rattling distortion in one and I assume eventually both ears. At low volumes this isn't much of an issue but some frequencies even at moderate levels seem to make these headphones not perform as they did new. These are very comfortable and I didn't find myself getting ear fatigue or discomfort from prolonged use. I would probably buy these again when I start booking DJ gigs again. But for now I'm doing all my mixing on Shure se215 wired earbuds. I know that sounds crazy to do serious mixing on earbuds but the se215s are the best sounding headphone (earbud) I've ever heard with detailed flat bass and crystal clean frequency response. The ATH-M50s have a good sound but aren't as durable as they should be.

Honestly I used these for years and never had a problem, loved the sounds quality, totally changed the way I thought about music. Every other headphone or earbud I use gets compared to the sound quality of these because it was just that good.

This was my second time owning these headphones, the first time I purchased them when they arrived the right headphone didn't work and only sound from the left headphone worked. I returned them for another pair thinking it was just a fluke and for awhile it was. However recently the right headphone randomly stopped working again. Very annoying.

I've loved these headphones but just a little over a year the band disintegrated and started showering me with dust and flakes from the super thin band. The headband needs some serious focus. These are supposed to be premium headphones.

i primarily want to use these for gaming and i remember a couple years ago, im sure it was the same headphone design ATH-M50x and they were heavier and felt more durable and now they are made of like cheap plastic and i just want to know if those headphones were still alive or purchasable? or if you guys just changed all these studio headphones to plastic like a couple years ago because i thought i was getting the same headphones i tried out in like 2014 or around those years. but the plastic completely threw me off.
