Legendary M-Series Sound

Hear every detail with confidence.

The ATH-M50x features 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare-earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice coils, engineered to deliver exceptional clarity across an extended frequency range.

The headphones are tuned to provide deep, accurate bass response alongside clear mids and detailed highs, making them suitable for both professional monitoring and everyday music listening.

Closed-Back Design

Focus on your audio.

The ATH-M50x features a closed-back circumaural design that contours around the ears to provide excellent sound isolation.

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

Comfortable for Extended Sessions

Stay focused from the first track to the last.

The ATH-M50x features professional-grade earpads and a padded headband designed for comfortable extended listening.

The earcups can swivel 90°, providing greater flexibility during monitoring and allowing convenient single-ear listening when required.

Built for Professional Use

Designed to handle demanding studio environments.

The ATH-M50x combines robust construction with practical features for professional audio applications.

From recording studios to live production and content creation, its durable design is built to withstand regular use while maintaining the comfort needed for extended monitoring sessions.

90° Swivelling Earcups

Monitor your audio your way.

The ATH-M50x's 90° swivelling earcups make single-ear monitoring simple and convenient.

Rotate one earcup outward when you need to listen to your surroundings while keeping the other ear focused on your audio.

Foldable Design

Professional monitoring wherever you go.

The ATH-M50x features a foldable design that makes the headphones easier to store and transport.

The earcups fold inward and rotate, allowing the headphones to take up less space when travelling between studios, performances or recording locations.

Detachable Cables

Choose the connection that works for you.

The ATH-M50x includes three detachable cables, providing flexibility for different listening and studio setups.

Choose between a 1.2 m straight cable, a 1.2–3.0 m coiled cable or a 3.0 m straight cable, depending on your needs.

Each cable uses a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug connection, with a 6.3 mm screw-on adapter included for professional audio equipment.

Reliable Wired Performance

Stay connected without batteries or wireless pairing.

The ATH-M50x uses a wired connection, making it ready for professional monitoring without relying on Bluetooth, batteries or charging.

Its high power handling and low impedance also make it suitable for use with a wide range of professional and consumer audio equipment.
