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 Chun Chun ᠌

I note that I don’t feel excessive pressure from the ear cushions - it is small in comparison with the HyperX Cloud headset that has been used for a long time. I solved the problem with the sound on my computer by plugging in a Creative SB Z that had been lying around for a long time with a connection to a dedicated headphone output - just earth and sky in comparison with the sound on the built-in codec (quite high-quality ALC1200) both in expressiveness and in terms of volume reserve (of course, with disabling all enhancers in the music mode and leaving them in the gaming ones, where they are quite appropriate). The same old forgotten sound box also solves the issue with a microphone for voice communication with a PC: a completely suitable external one came with it. For mobile use, I expect from China a relatively budget Chi-Fi player, a 120 cm cable, as well as thicker ear pads. . The ear pads and cable came from China. The ear pads completely cover the issue of wearing comfort (in the photo of the headphones at the keyboard on the left - native, on the right - Chinese), and the cable is generally fine - very soft and flexible (like Razer mouse cables), suitable for use with a phone in a bumper case (native cables the thread for the 6.3 mm adapter interferes).
