Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

A terrific value in comfortable, great sounding 'phones / Designed for CD and MiniDisc / High performance 40mm driver
Amazon.com Product Description

Specifically designed for digital music with wide program dynamics, Audio-Technica's mid-size ATH-M2X headphones are perfect for use with home and project studios and portable digital-audio devices like CD, minidisc, and MP3 players. The headphones use an open-back design that lets its large, 40 mm drivers "breathe" better than closed-back designs, eliminating unwanted low-frequency resonances that often color the sound from closed-ear headphones. While this helps the sound quality, be aware that it also makes them a little noisier for those around you--and permits noise from without to be audible through the headphones.

The high-performance drivers use efficient, low-mass diaphragms that are easily driven by most headphone jacks. An 11.5-foot cable grants extended movement from and around your audio source, and the .125-inch-terminated cable comes with a .25-inch adapter plug for use with home audio components.

Pretty Dang Decent! - Reviewed on 2009-05-19

I love these headphones! They are affordable with decent quality sound. My only complaints would be the extremely long cord, which is understandable but a little too long for me, and the fact that the cushions come off a little too easily.

Bought these for my M-Audio PROKEYS 88SX 88-Key Lightweight Stage Piano with Semi-Weighted Action. They sound great when hooked up directly to the piano or my mac running Reason, they also come with a headphone jack adapter. The wire is super long, but I don't mind since I just coil it up ... some people will find that a plus, even.
A Lot of Comfort and Sound Detail for the Money - Reviewed on 2009-01-29

I did a side by side comparison with my M2X headphones, which cost me under $25, with my friend's $300 Bose QC2s and here's how it played out: For details and the "inside the head experience," the headphones were equal. The Bose only beat my M2X in bass, and I don't care about heavy bass anyway.

For comfort, both are light weight. The Bose covers your ears more fully, but we're cutting hairs here.

I use my M2X for taking naps and the smaller size is good. One advantage of the M2X over the more expensive Bose: The Bose are flimsy. The head strap seems like it's easy to break. The far lesser costing M2Xs seem more rugged.

At this price point the M2X come highly recommended.
Good sound, but uncomfortable - Reviewed on 2008-02-23

These headphones sound great but hurt my ears when I wear glasses, and my hair also gets caught and pulled by them, so I don't really use them.
Unless your ears are flat, don't bother - Reviewed on 2007-10-04

Tried these for about 2 minutes, then boxed them up. Apparently, Audio-Technica doesn't realize that most people's ears aren't flat against their heads. With no pivot capability in the vertical axis, these phones are held away from the front of your ear, while pushing excessively on the back part. Not comfortable at all. Don't waste your time ordering these.
