Review on Upgrade Your Studio Gear with Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones: 90-Degree Swiveling Earcups, Pro-Grade Earpads/Headband, and Detachable Cables by Itsara Thanomvong ᠌

Now about the sound. I listen mainly to metal, rock, folk, I love symphonic music. The bass is soft and velvety, there is not much of it, there is no subbass. So bassheads pass by. The middle is dry, a little pressed, on heavy tracks it lacks power and aggression. The vocals sound nice, both male and female, it is well heard, it is not pushed back. The highs really pleased me, everything is clear without poking, sebilants and porridge, while they are not cut, you can hear small details and nuances. Instruments are separated well, for metal, probably, even a little too much, sometimes you want a more monolithic sound there. In general, I liked the headphones, it's nice to listen to them, but their presentation is not very suitable for heavy music.
