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 Amar Amar ᠌

Got pros: These are generally my first headphones, and there is nothing to compare with. They are connected to a laptop, not an external sound system, so it's hard for me to judge their true potential. But even with this, the sound is clear, the bass is moderate, I really liked how the vocals are reproduced. I wanted entry level studio headphones and I think I got them. Cons: At first, they put a lot of pressure on the ears. Sometimes they fold themselves, but I bought a simple hanger for headphones on Ali and the problem disappeared. Now, after several years of use, the ear pads began to peel off.
