It looked cool and had one interesting feature, but ultimately it was a product that was solely made to capitalize on nostalgia.

I rose the 2-6 KHz region by 5-6 dB using parametric EQ and found out it helps with imaging and depth, I also reduced the midbass by 3 dB.In ditching the more angular headband of the M50X, the M40X sticks out a bit farther from your head. ve decided to give the M40's a try after reading some positive reviews, keeping in mind that i could always send them back and get the M50's instead. It weighs just a few grams more than Audio-Technica’s headset and does a slightly better job of blocking out background noise. His sense of humour, coupled with a knack for excellence and strict attention to detail are what allow him to stand out in an crowded industry.

I don't have proper monitor speakers and usually, it seems, headphones and speakers try to make things sound good. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is widely regarded as one of the best deals when it comes to studio headphones, offering pro-quality monitoring on a reasonable budget.

They both have similar plastic construction with the only visible metal parts being on adjustment rails on the headband and various screws and pins around the moving parts.

The coiled cable has a nice long bit of straight cable before the coil, meaning the weight of the coil can sit on your desk and not slide around or hang down off the edge. The high-performance Audio Technica ATH-M40x professional headphones are tuned flat for incredibly accurate audio monitoring across an extended frequency range.

After a strong showing of AI advancements on their lifestyle products at the show, Samsung is now ready to introduce AI into their smartphone division with the newly announced Galaxy S24 series.
