## Description

The low-profile, closed-back, on-ear design provides excellent sound isolation and a great fit, which is enhanced by the exceptional comfort and durability of the memory foam ear pads and headband. The headphones come with three interchangeable cables (1. 2 m - 3. 0 m coiled, 3. 0 m straight, and 1. 2 m straight - each with a 3. 5 mm (1/8") mini-plug), a 6. 3 mm (1/4") screw-on adapter, and a protective carrying pouch.Frequency Response : 15 - 28,000 Hz

Review: Small, very light, comfortable, easy to drive, tight and powerful - These are in between analytical and mainstream bass heavy headphones you find in stores, it sounds amazing for the average human or casual enthusiast alike if you appreciate clarity with decent bass, though don't expect too much soundstage and really sharp highs. I'd still say it's easily above average for most closed backs. These headphones are great all rounders, they can be used for pretty much anything from gaming, media consumption, monitoring, and music especially, although they might not be the absolute best at any of them. If you get these, or any over ear headphones just make sure to experiment on the placement of where the pads rest because at first I literally placed them on top of my ears and it hurt a hell of lot but then I moved them slightly back, to where more than half of the pads surface touch my skull and it made a world difference in comfort. My only gripe about these is that their practically isn't really there for the amount you paid, they don't fold and even though the matte plastics feel nice they're questionable since they're plastics however, it's a neutral characteristic since it makes the headphones really light. I do recommend them for any starters looking for headphones around this price point but it would feel more appropriate if they were a bit cheaper like $180 or below.
Review: Sound worth some compromises. - First the Good (Sound): These have a nice soft u-shaped sound signature to my ear. Bass has just enough impact to not overpower the rest. Imaging is really where these shine for me; to the point of giving me asmr-like sensations on songs I've never had that before. Not the widest sound stage, but still good enough to get the imaging across really well. I imagine like an astronauts helmet worth of soundstage, but the imaging on that orb is just pin accurate. Mids are slightly diminshed compared to my m40xs and SHP9500s, but still nice and palpable. The "Bad" (Comfort): This isn't necessarily bad, considering it's going to depend on your ear and head shape, but these are pretty small cups, meaning if you have medium to large ears, these will be on ear headphones. I have small ears that just barely fit in these perfectly so don't have a comfort issue, thankfully. After long listening sessions (3-4 hours) I get a bit of fatigue from my glasses, but nothing to painful. I did get a hotspot of pressure on the very top of my head the first day I had these, but I adjusted my fit and started wearing these a bit tighter and now have no issues there. Basically, If you have small ears and don't wear glasses these will be completely comfortable. Otherwise you might want to try them on somehow before a purchase. The Ugly: They're not the most stylish, kind of a utilitarian look with the exposed wire and plain matte black. This is not a negative for me since I'm kind of a minimalist and they're less likely to catch someones attention and get stolen. They're a bit wide on the head, but I don't mind. Conclusion: I still gave these 5 stars, despite a few gripes with comfort and their lack of folding for one reason: the sound. These really are great sounding cans that can do it all. I have yet to find a genre in which these don't sound pleasing and am willing to sacrifice a couple creature comforts for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Poster-Child for "Decent"
*by T***E on June 12, 2019*

The first On-Ear from the lauded ATH-M line? Yeah, I was curious immediately about these headphones. I don't generally go for portable headphones because my ears can accomodate IEMs, but... To get such glowing praise from THE ZeosPantera, well, let's say I held out for a while, but eventually my curiosity got the better of me. TL;DR - An on-ear monitoring headphone that's also decent for just listening. Interesting sound field effect. Not perfectly neutral, but detailed enough. Not super comfortable IMO, but good enough. *Disclaimer* - Purchased these for myself because I was interested. No one has asked or otherwise tried to influence this review. Hearing, as well as ear, and head shape is extremely subjective, so please take any sound and/or comfort impressions as statements of subjective opinion and NOT objective fact. Lastly, my ears are not a universal standard, I haven't heard everything ever, and I am human and make mistakes. Packaging & Accessories - It's pretty standard Audio Technica fare. The headphones are presented in a molded cardboard runner when you open the box. Cables are underneath. You get 3: a 4ft straight, a 10ft straight, and a 10ft coiled. They're also compatible with M40x/M50x cables, and the M60x cables are also compatible with the 40/50. You get a screw-on 1/4" adapter as well for either of the long cables. All cables terminated in 3.5mm SE. There is also a standard Audio Technica branded leatherette draw-string carry bag included. Build, Features, & Comfort - It's a mostly plastic build, sliders are metal though. There's some rubber on the end of the sliders to keep them captive, the rubber pads also serve to keep the in place when it's on your head. There are also some lines, and subtle bumps in the slider adjustment so you can keep them even. The top of the headband is padded, though not enough for me. There are cables coming from the headband into the cups, since they're loose, it raises longevity concerns if they get caught on something. There is also a dB limiting aparatus in the top of the left earcup. They don't fold, or lay flat, but they do have a slight pivot at the gimbles to fit more head variations. The pads are thick and use some type of slow(er) rebound foam. While I don't hate the pads, I wear glasses, and in general, on-ears can pinch the wings between your ears and skull, which just isn't comfortable over time. Subjectively, I can't wear them any longer than a few hours. While that's probably plenty of time for some in-the-field mastering/mixing, I wouldn't want them as my only headphones on a long car trip. Sound - It's good? It's not too sharp for me but is still detailed well, midrange is clear and doesn't seem forward or stepped back to me, and bass extends deeper than I expected. Like, there's some actual subbass, as long as you can get a decent seal. However, I don't think it's neutral like an HD 600 is, nor do they seem to follow a target curve, other than A-T's own. One thing I do have to admit, the M60x does have a unique sound-field effect. I think Zeos described it well; almost like you're in a gel-filled room. It's not "natural" to my ears, but it IS quite a pleasant effect, and it's definitely different. Personally, it's one of my favorite aspects about the sound. Conclusions - These don't replace anything I currently own, they fit into their own special niche of portable closed backs. I've gone back and forth between these and the Cooler Master MH-752, Sony MDR-1A, and ATH-M40x. None of those are on-ears, but they are all more comfortable, and just as easy to drive. Personally, I've driven them loud and well enough for me from a Shanling M0. That said, I wouldn't trade any of my over-ears for these, nor would I trade any of my in-ears for these. As someone who wears glasses, the comfort just isn't there. When I remove my glasses, I can get another hour or so (for a max of 3ish hours) of wearing them before I'm constantly repositioning them on my ears. The sound, as I said and hope came accross above, is decent. It's about what I'd expect for a closed back in the $150-$200 price range, given what I've heard before. They're definitely a step above most on-ears I've heard in terms of resolution and tonal balance, as well as comfort, but they're still not prize-winners in any category. They're not as neutral or resolving as HD 600, not as comfortable as most over-ears, and not as portable as, even the Cooler Master MH-752, and an interesting sound field can't save them. At the price, I think there's better out there. At ~$150, I think they're a decent deal, but at $200, I don't think they're worth it if you're not getting them for work. However, I'm not the target consumer of these. They're monitoring headphones for people that need durable, efficient, light, small cans that they can stuff into a gear-bag, drag into the field, and the monitor for brief periods. They're overall design isn't really conducive to pure music enjoyment, and while they never got too sharp for me, I'm sure some folks find the treble peaky. The fact is though, that you CAN use them for music enjoyment on the go for the same reasons that make them good for field-work. And again, they do have an interesting sound field... They're the perfect poster-child for "Decent" or "Good Enough." They're not amazing, but they're not anywhere near bad, either. *This is a modified version of my original review. Slight variations, removed some unnecessary wording, cleaned up syntax, saved some space, etc. Still like 'em well enough, but On-Ears aren't for everyone.
