Audio-Technica - ATH-M40x

I had first decided to buy the athm50x. But i saw reviews saying the m40 s we're flatter sounding. Hence i bought it via headphone zone. The packaging was excellent!! The headphone performs well no matter what you throw at it. Pink floyd sounded heavenly in these headphones. Accurate sound reproduction. But i gave this a four star because of its build quality. Its just such a flimsy design and its prone to breakage. Removing the headphones with one hand is a big no no!! The comfort is not the best but good.
In short if you want to sacrifice portablity and comfort a little for great sound, hands down the best headphone in this price range. Audiophiles.. this one's for you guys :).

It's amazing to see how good these headphones are. Tight bass, clear flat sound.
Just wished they included a 1.2m cable or at least they provided a way to purchase those.

I am no studio person or a mixer or a DJ and far away from all technicalities. I am just a general everyday listener who knows what I want from my sound. I like to experiment with my sound and after listening to skull cracking bass from the Sony XBs for a few years I shifted to Sennheiser and then Phillips which makes decent audio equipment. But every time I would watch a review of any headphone, this guy popped up in my search on web and streaming sites, so I decided to give it a go.

Yes these are flat sounding and its a real joy to listen to them!!! I came from Sennheiser HD429 so the upgrade was pleasant and sound stage wider in comparison. If you are upgrading you will surely notice more meat in your sound. The bass response is tight and ample of it but if you are looking for a bass extension even after the bass beat is over on the track then this should not meet it. Highs are really crisp and if you are coming from warm sounding phones then they may hurt you (depending on ear sensitivity). Vocals get an equal opportunity to perform but are not overly done (I like shining vocals, coz I use my phones for movies mostly - So dialogues). In short, YOU GET WHATEVER IS THERE ON THE TRACK, TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. NOTHING EXTRA ON LOW OR HIGH.
So if you want to listen to what the recording artist put on track then this one is for you. Look no further, just click "Buy Now". Hope it helps.

I am satisfied with the services of headphone zone. The product which I have got was well packed and brand new. It was delivered before estimated time. Service is very fast. Only I think experts to whom I have talked before buying this headphone could be better.
They should get more knowledge about the sound and headphones.
Otherwise headphonezone services are the best.
I have great experience with headphonezone.
Thanks.

Not much of an enthusiast and these are my first pair. The audio seems great but the comfort can be lacking. I feel the burden between 30 to 40 minutes max.

I have used these for a year now. Also used M50x. I have to say these suck. All the hype on these headphones are nauseating. Sennheiser HD280 Pro are miles ahead of these headphones.
Yes, I own 280 Pro too.

Did not buy these headphones from HPZ.

I bought M40x in HPZ for 8999 may be higher cost. But worth it.
Sound quality is crisp and clear, it puts an end to my headphone search and made no use of my existing headphones and earphones.
It will showcase the bad quality of songs clearly and the same if you listen to FLAC or Apple music you will love it. Even prime music is not good for M40x, and plug it to iPhone or Samsung it will take u to different word. Tried with Sony AV receiver and it was loud and clear.
One word about HPZ is "BEST"

Completely satisfied with both product and service.

First of All HPZ delivery : top class - end to end it just took 2 days
Sound quality: Top notch clarity. I do not know why M50x is a best seller and very popular. M40x has a neutral sound signature and so real. If you listen to M50x you will feel the sound is a bit muffled, but in M40x - it is just clear neutral. I have not yet burned in the headphones yet -- but it is getting there. Only the Beyerdynamic Dt770pro rival it better - which comes at a higher price, is not foldable and has fixed cable which is very long. M40x is foldable at the ear cups, has 2 detachable cables (one coiled and one straight). Note that the earphone end of the cable is a lockable 2.5mm.
If you want to hear crystal clear sound - then this is it, at this price point. you can use it as a monitor and also enjoy music (unless you like boosted Bass). I have had multiple earphones, headphones mostly from reputed brands - but this is my best so far at much lesser price. i am sure this will sound even better after the burn in period.
This is a winner in my opinion.

Amazing headphones. I own a Hesh 2 wireless too. On my phone I have experienced that hesh 2 gives better bass but spoils the audio for everything else. ATH M40X is extremely good for vocals and feels balanced even when run by a phone without any additional amplifier in place. The bass is not bad, but rather it does not dominate the audio.
