Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Over-Ear Professional Studio Monitor Headphones

5 ⭐ for sound quality 4⭐ because of the comfort.
Writing after 6 months of usage. This is an absolute best purchase you can have on a budget(I know what you think..though I said budget but I had to save up for three months to buy this for 4.5k INR. But compared to other studio monitor headphones and the sound quality youre getting for this price is just undeniable). I sincerely disagree with every single comments out there saying this doesn’t have bass. If you’re an avid listener and who listen to a lot of flac then you’ll understand once you listen to this. So go for it.

Even though they said it’s flat sound but I could already feel decent amount of bass without changing any eq settings. If you want true flat sound I would say sennheiser is the choice. I have used sennheiser and Sony and this would come in the middle of both when it comes to bass but the sound quality is crisp af and top notch. And yes it does work great for movies too…I haven’t played games much with this apart from one or two times.. and the wire is indeed quite long as mentioned in many other reviews…it can be a plus or minus depending on your purpose..for me it’s okay as I sometimes use it with full length at home and I barely took it outside. But you can coil it up and use some velcro tape which I do sometimes..initially I felt it little bit tighter which is common for every headphones and as I have a big head but that was changed as I got used to it and it loosen up little bit and now fits perfectly without any discomfort which I experienced in the first two months.

The only two drawbacks for me so far is that..one is the cushions tends to get your ears sweaty if you live in hot n humid place like mine. But inside an air conditioned room that wouldn’t be much of an issue. Second thing is the small wire that goes between the headband and speakers on both side…that I felt like a poor design choice and gives me anxiety manytimes that if I’ll break it somehow.

I bought these for use with my cheap TV and Roku player. As the TV sound is crappy, I had two choices –> 1) buy a sound bar or 2) buy headphones. Living in an apartment building with noisy tenants, if I went with the sound bar I’d just be pumping up the volume really loud to cancel the exterior noise. I chose to buy these headphones instead and they have solved my dilemma perfectly. I plugged them into my Roku remote and the noise cancelling is good enough that I can clearly hear my entertainment at a normal sound level without the outside distractions.
List of pros (order depends on what you need) :
1) Price –> more than reasonable
2) Sound –> unless you are a music aficionado looking for huge bass, you’ll enjoy the true and clear sound
3) Cord –> it is long enough and has a sturdy connector. The cord itself is fairly thick and the material is supple, strong and won’t tangle on you
4) Physical structure –> they sit firmly on your head, I use it completely collapsed since my head is small. If you extend the sliders, the unit actually has less pressure on the ears. So if your head is larger, you’ll probably get a more comfortable fit. I’m not complaining, but us smaller headed folks will get a slightly less than perfect fit from an otherwise perfect sub $100 product!

List of cons: none notable, but just remember –> although the build quality is superior to most other headphones in this price range, they are not $300 headphones, so be gentle with them and you’ll thank yourself for making a very smart purchase that will pay for itself and more in entertainment!

Très satisfait des performances de ce casque. Je recommande

Audio Technica ATH Series are good for Music Producers and DJs.

Noise Cancellation:
Noise Cancellation is very good, It reduces most Atmosphere noise but It cannot reduce loud noises, For example If you are living in the City then you can hear the loud noise like Vehicles and Horn etc. But i am sure you will be satisfied, Just close your eyes and you will feel alone.

comfortable?
Yes, Its very comfortable, There is no Left&Right Side wearing rule, There are both side different comfortability.

Quality:
Quality is very Clear and Sharp.
If you have seen any review that says the quality is not good, The Headphone is not can be cause of bad quality,
It depends on music and mp3 file. If the music was produces with bad quality then it will sound bad in any headphone & If there are Lower Bit rate then 320kbps of MP3 file then it won’t sounds Sharp.
I recommend you to don’t worry about the quality. I have tested it & It is very clear and sharp.

Frequency[Bass,Mid,High]:
This headphone is for Studio Monitor so this headphone has Balanced Frequency, Everything is Equal in this headphone.
If you are a Bass Lover then i am recommending you to buy other headphones like JBL Bassline.

Problem:
The cable is very bold and long. bold cable is good because it cannot be broken easily but long cable can be a little problem for outdoor users.
Quick Solution of it: Keep the cable rolled.
But It can be problem in Outdoor For Example, You cannot put the cable in your pocket with your phone.
But i recommend you to do not put the cable in your pocket, The Headphone says warning to DO NOT FOLD THE CABLE, It can be cause of broken wire.
If you want to use this headphone for Studio and DJ then It is good for you otherwise Cable will make you uncomfortable outdoor.

My Comment : I have used many headphones, but this headphone has more clarity in good price. I am interested to check ATM-250x in the future.
