Accurate Sound. Professional Monitoring. Built for the Studio.

Designed for professional studio monitoring, the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x delivers accurate, detailed audio reproduction with the robust construction and practical features expected from Audio-Technica's acclaimed M-Series.

Featuring 40 mm drivers, a closed-back circumaural design and flat-tuned response, the ATH-M40x is engineered for accurate monitoring across an extended frequency range—making it an excellent choice for recording, mixing, tracking and critical listening.

Accurate M-Series Sound

Hear your recordings with greater precision.

The ATH-M40x features 40 mm drivers with rare-earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice coils, delivering accurate and detailed sound reproduction across the frequency range.

Its flat-tuned response is designed with accuracy in mind, making it suitable for studio monitoring where a clear representation of your recordings is essential.

Closed-Back Design

Stay focused on your audio.

The ATH-M40x features a closed-back circumaural design that contours around the ears to provide excellent sound isolation.

This helps minimise unwanted external noise while reducing sound leakage, allowing you to concentrate on your music and recordings.

Comfortable for Extended Sessions

Monitor comfortably from start to finish.

The ATH-M40x features professional-grade earpads and a padded headband designed for comfortable extended use.

Its 90° swivelling earcups provide greater flexibility and allow for convenient single-ear monitoring when needed.

Built for Professional Use

Designed to handle demanding studio environments.

The ATH-M40x combines robust construction with practical studio-focused features, making it suitable for regular use in recording and production environments.

The headphones are designed to provide reliable performance while remaining comfortable enough for long monitoring sessions.

90° Swivelling Earcups

Monitor your tracks your way.

The ATH-M40x's 90° swivelling earcups allow one earcup to be rotated outward for convenient single-ear monitoring.

This practical design gives producers, musicians and engineers greater flexibility during recording and mixing sessions.

Detachable Cables

Choose the cable that suits your setup.

The ATH-M40x includes two detachable cables for added versatility.

A 1.2–3.0 m coiled cable provides flexibility when working around a studio setup, while the 3.0 m straight cable offers a simple, extended connection for monitoring and recording.

Both cables terminate in a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug, with a 6.3 mm screw-on adapter included.

Foldable and Easy to Transport

Take professional monitoring wherever you go.

The ATH-M40x features a foldable design that makes the headphones easier to store and transport.

Whether you're moving between studios, travelling to a recording session or working on location, the compact folding design adds convenience without compromising the headphones' professional construction.
