- The Audio-Technica ATH-M40x are some of the most highly recommended headphones for music production and professional audio use. In this video I review the ATH-M40x, its build quality, sound quality, design, and more and evaluate the headphones overall after using it daily for the past 3 years for music production, mixing, and mastering.

proud m40X owner here! I use it on my bedroom studio for monitoring my recorded covers.
Really fit my home recording needs, plus great for listening to already recorded music. Nice construction, too.
Great review thanks!
Can’t believe how underrated these headphones are. Best under 200 if you ask me
The conclusions drawn about the 40x in this video are exactly why I chose it over the 50x. Listening on the 40x now.
thanks for the review
I just bought a pair of these for £40 , love the quality of this review. Keep it up
Awesome! Thanks for watching
How did you get a pair for 40? We're they used?
Somewhat yes
Awesome, honest review!
Thank you!
I picked up the M30x's new for $55 a few years ago and love those things. No removable wire and the wire that comes installed with it is LONNGGG but still has 40 millimeter drivers with a nice neutral sound.
Audio-Technica really does make some quality products
@@KevinShroff BEST 100$ WIRED HEADPHONES?
valid points. liked and subscribed.
Mine has just arrived today, gonna use it for my logic production n mixing
How has it been holding up?
how is it Yohanes?
Nice review, I'd really like to know your opinion on the m60x.
Just picked up a pair for mixing. Great review. The neutrality was the selling point for me over the M50s
Good video, keep i up
Hey thanks a lot bro! Now i've really decided which studio headphone will i buy.
Glad I could help!
Bought mine in 2015, replaced once and despite needing gorilla glue on the headband adjustment, they're still amazing.
Just got mine today and found out by trial and error that they are also OK for just listening to and enjoying music on the go if you have a playback app that contains an equaliser, I have Poweramp and boost the bass end a bit and it sounds great.
Nice headphones you got there
These cost 130$ where I live. I ordered them today, waiting for delivery. I hope I don't get disappoited!
What is ur experience with it?
do i need a dac/amp for this headset? great video by the way im very tempted to buy this headset
No, you don't need an amp for these headphones, they don't seem to scale up very much when you amplify them. However adding an good dac most likely improve the sound of of your music files independently of the headphone you use.
Nice bookmark bar
Sonic sense pro audio channel has these compared to others, and to me these by far sounded closer to the original than others, including the M50x, Beyerdynamic Dt770, or the Sony MDR7506.
Dang. I wasn't expecting the difference between your older and newer work to be THAT different.
Hahha, I had just bought my current camera when I put out this and the OnePlus 7T Pro review. Still learning! 😄
Oh, I just realized you were probably talking about my old vs. new music 😂
Does this headphone needs amp to get best sound?
Hey it's really easy to make these headphones wireless
i got some nice at m40x but...
Why do mine turn up and down the volume by themselves? when i play a song at let's say 50% volume they're fine until the loud part of the song comes and then they turn down the volume without me doing anything and when the song goes quiet again the headphones turn up the volume
it's almost as if they're trying to have the volume be the same ALL THE TIME instead of letting me hear the quiet parts as they are and same goes for loud, like i want it to be loud if that's how they made the song... weird
Thats weird, and definitely not from the M40X - check the audio source youve connected your m40x to, maybe it doesnt have enough power to drive the headphones, or maybe it has some loudness or dynamics leveler audio effect or something like that enabled
Im watching this using the m40x🌝😂
Is that best headphone ? Bass, sound, comfortable ?
nice white table you got there
Haha is that your table ;)
What about casual listening.?.is it good for it...
hoan winners yes they are amazing for casual listening, he was just pointing out that audiotechnika AIMS to give producers more affordable options for headphones, but that doesn’t exclude casual listeners
SRH 840 or ATH M40X?
and takstar 82 pro worst or better? and is it better pay 30 dollars more and buy a beyedynamic dt770?
If you have the budget then yes but its better to try them yourself first
I wouldn't recommend these if you are looking for durability (or you wear them on one ear a lot.) The clip where the ear-cup attaches to the headband literally just snapped in half on mine after 2.5 years. I wasn't very rough with them, either. I think it only really came from wearing them on one ear, and taking them off with one hand. I'm not the only person that has had this problem, there is no metal in the hinge, only plastic. As far as I can tell, beyerdynamic dt 770 or sony mdr-7506 are far more durable, and have metal in the areas where it matters.
is this still worth it in 2022?
My biggest dilemma has been between DT 770 vs M40X. And I guess from what I see for the purpose M40X is better for mixing bec they are more flat. DT770 is basey and has some spikes in highs. Do you agree?
I was very dissapointed with the dt 770 pro! I sold it and now I’m getting the m40x!
@@beforetheapocalypsetv2580 do you recomended m40x for listen techno,psytrance, hardstyle? and gaming soundstage? better than takstar pro 82? and dt770?
@@milan132 yes absolutely! I have no experience with the takstar pro 82! But im definitely happy with the m40x!💯✅
@@educbraga which one did you buy ? Im between k371 and m40x too.
@@beforetheapocalypsetv2580 I was disappointed with DT770 PRO too; got DT240 instead.
this will sweat your ear in several minutes after u put it on ur head, if u live under cool environment, this definitely OK, but if u live under tropical weather, this headphone is easily hot and make your ur ear sweat
Great review thanks! but i found the producing comparisson a bit missdirecting becouse there are 2 years between those mixes, you probably improved yourself due those 2 years as a producer.
Thanks for watching! Of course, I never said that it's just the headphones that caused me to improve - I said exactly what you did at 4:19 - "majority of this is not just from upgrading to the m40x, but my skills as a music producer developing"
@@KevinShroff oh my bad then. Got today the m40x's great headphones , your review is on point!
Awesome! They'll last you a long time!
Bhai kya dhasu english bolti ho ...awaz hi badal di ..bilkul angrez jaisa bolti ho 🔥
Lower the Preamp 27 dBs and raise the bass use full volume
Is it also noise canceling?
if you are talking about active noise cancelling, they dont have it, but because of the closed build it isolates background noises but only up to a certain point
