Review on Renewed Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Headphones by Lori Uniacke

Use them at work and they sound great. They're big, so a bit awkward, but they can't beat the physics. The foam earmuffs slip off so you can replace them later. Came with straight wire and twisted wire. They sound really good on in-ear headphones, bass sounds natural (and not too much). No ear fatigue after wearing for several hours like in-ear headphones. I often leave them on even when the music stops as they shield most of the outside world. As far as other people can hear them, if you hold the cups open you can easily hear what's being played, but if you put the cups together to simulate a seal on your head you won't hear them. I let the music play for hours while the phones froze a few times and I didn't even hear the music until I grabbed my headphones. The detachable cord rather than the coiled cord is what initially drew me to this particular model (and obviously for the price).
