About this deal

Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. The Audio-Technica ATH-M30X headphones are designed to be an affordable option for closed-back studio headphones. They can be a good option for electronic drummers due to their sound, noise attenuation and fairly comfortable fit. Sennheiser HD200 PRO Studio Headphones The HD 200 PRO offers powerful and detailed sound for every monitoring task and for every budget. With a 'low profile' closed back design and 45mm drivers with copper-clad aluminium-wire voice coils, the ATH-M60X are designed for studio and broadcast applications where clarity throughout an extended frequency range and 'accurate bass response' is required.

Since the headphones are light, and do not grip the head overly tightly, they are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. However, they aren't stable enough for gym use and won't fare as well in loud environments because they don't block much noise. Founded in 1962 by Hideo Matsushita, Audio-Technica positioned itself immediately as a leader in the manufacture and design of innovative audio products. I have tried the ATH-M20x, the ATH-M25 (an old discontinued model), the ATH-M30x, the ATH-M40x, and the ATH-M50 (the older version without the letter “x”), and I liked the ATH-M30x the most. However, that cable is not removable without a soldering iron, so if it busts, you need to repair it (or see if the warranty covers it).The closed-back circumaural design contours around the ears and ensures excellent sound isolation in loud environments. The Sony MDR-7506 isn’t the most comfortable headset out there, but it does the trick and it’s been an industry standard for about three decades. Having tracked drums before, I can attest that wearing earplugs with over-ear headphones is not a fun way to do it, so just get some cans for drummers. My second favorite model is the M20x, which sounds very similar but cannot be folded for storage and does not come with a carrying bag.

Some people will tell you that you absolutely need to spend hundreds on headphones that are good enough for the studio. If you produce podcasts, they are a great pick because the frequency response is accurate enough and easy to wear.They are on the larger side of over-ear headphones but unlike the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x, they fold into a more compact format that will fit in a backpack or handbag but will be too large for most jacket pockets.
