1 year manufacturer's warranty

This product is covered for 1 year by a manufacturer's warranty (the brand's official warranty). Your iris.ma invoice serves as the warranty document: keep it safe.

A problem with your product? Don't worry: contact us by phone, WhatsApp or e-mail. Depending on the brand, we direct you either straight to the repairer appointed by the brand to fix your product, or to us — and we take care of the rest.

  • If a repair is possible, it is carried out free of charge.

The warranty covers breakdowns occurring under normal use, as defined by the brand's terms. Product breakage (drop, impact, liquid…) is not covered, nor are certain consumable parts.

Description

Closed-back monitoring headphones

The headphones you re-cable to suit the room

Against the model it descends from, the ATH-M50X keeps the same sound and gains two things: revised earpads, and a cable that comes off. Three different cables ship with it, and it is that second point which lets one pair of headphones hold its place at a console, on a desk and in a bag.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones, three-quarter view, straight cable plugged into the left earcup

Keeping one ear on the room

The earcups swivel 90° and then sit sideways. The engineer keeps one ear in the mix and the other on what is being played in front of them; the DJ counts the next bar without lifting the headband. Nothing gets unplugged for it: the cable stays where it is.

ATH-M50X earcup swivelled 90°, ATH-M50x marking visible on the headband

Folded, it goes in a bag

The headband retracts, the earcups fold inwards and the headphones become a compact block that the supplied pouch is enough to protect. At 285 g without cable or connector, they slip into an everyday bag.

ATH-M50X folded flat, headband retracted and earcups folded inwards

Three cables, three ways of working

Only one of the three stays plugged in at a time: you clip on the one that matches the desk, the other two wait in the pouch. Here is what each one is for.

Detachable 3-metre straight cable and screw-on 6.35 mm jack adapter for the ATH-M50X

The 3 m straight cable

Three metres is enough to leave the mixing seat and go and listen to a rack up close without unplugging. The 6.35 mm adapter screws onto the end of the jack to go into an audio interface or a headphone amp; unscrewed, the plug becomes a gold-plated 3.5 mm mini-jack again.

Detachable 1.2 to 3 metre coiled cable supplied with the ATH-M50X

The 1.2 to 3 m coiled cable

It stretches when you lean back for a folder and gathers itself up when you return: nothing trails across the desktop, nothing wraps around the chair base. This is the cable for long seated sessions.

Detachable 1.2 metre straight cable supplied with the ATH-M50X

The 1.2 m straight cable

One metre twenty is the distance from a pocket to your ears. The short cable does not hang under your chin, does not catch in a bag zip, and stows folded with the headphones.

Nothing to charge, ever

The isolation comes from the closed shell and the thickness of the earpads, not from a circuit. No battery to watch, no pairing to redo, no setting to find again the next day: the headphones are powered by the jack itself, and they sound the same in the eighth hour of a session as in the first.

Monitoring headphones stay on your head for the whole session: what they do not ask for counts as much as what they give.

Who they are for. Anyone editing, mixing or recording who wants to hear what the file actually contains. The 45 mm drivers with neodymium magnets cover 15 Hz to 28 kHz with bass that holds, and passive isolation keeps the monitoring inside the earcups during a vocal take.

Instead of what. Instead of wireless noise-cancelling headphones, when the job is to hear the flaw rather than forget it — and instead of headphones with a fixed cable, which have to be replaced whole the day the cable gives out.

Frequently asked questions about this product

What is the difference between the ATH-M50X and the M40X?
45 mm drivers instead of 40, a response that extends to 28 kHz instead of 24, and thicker leather ear cushions on a rigid shell: passive isolation and soundstage depth both benefit.
How many cables come with the ATH-M50X?
Three, all detachable: a 1.2 m straight cable for on the go, a 3 m straight cable for the studio and a 1.2 to 3 m coiled cable for field work. You swap them depending on the workstation.
Does sound leak into the microphone during a vocal recording?
The thick leather ear cushions and the rigid shell reinforce passive isolation: the monitor mix stays inside the ear cups. This is what allows these headphones to be used in a vocal booth without spoiling the recording.
Do the ear cups swivel for listening with one ear?
Yes, they swivel 90°. It is the move of the engineer who keeps one ear on the room, and of the DJ who compares two sources — something headphones with fixed ear cups do not allow.
How good are the 45 mm drivers in these headphones?
They combine neodymium magnets with CCAW voice coils — copper-clad aluminium wire, which is lighter and follows the signal more closely. Their range covers 15 Hz to 28 kHz, beyond the typical range of hearing.
What is in the box of the ATH-M50X?
The headphones, their three detachable cables, a screw-on 6.35 mm jack adapter and a carrying pouch. The adapter's thread stops it from staying stuck in the console socket when you unplug.
Do these headphones have electronic noise cancellation?
No, no active cancellation: isolation is entirely passive, achieved by the closed shell and the thick ear cushions. Nothing processes the signal, which is exactly what you want from critical listening headphones.
Are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones new and under warranty?
Yes, new and genuine, with a 1-year warranty provided by the invoice. They weigh 285 g without the cable, the weight of closed-back monitoring headphones with thick ear cushions.
