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 Yorum Chachum ᠌

The sound is good. Nothing to complain about. I am satisfied. I also have a Sennheiser HD439 and HD215 II. Audio-technica is clearly better in sound. Noise isolation is good. You can't hear anything around at all. Weight - in my opinion, they are still heavy. The head gets tired after 1-2 hours. A very intricate design - I don’t understand why they made a folding structure. Additional bend. Sometimes you get confused about what to twist to put on your head. Someone else wrote about the unreliability of the design in appearance. This is strange - they are assembled extremely well, there is no thought that something will break off somewhere. Complete set - two cables of 3 meters are included, one of them is twisted. What? Seriously? Wouldn't it be more logical to put 3m twisted + 1.2m straight? Then you look further into the packaging and see a booklet in which the bundles of other headphones are drawn, and in the M50x they put a 1.2m cable, but not in your M40x. Feeling like you got screwed. 2.5mm connector - again, fucked. Nothing prevented making a 3.5mm jack. When buying headphones with a detachable wire, you expect to see 3.5mm-3.5mm. And here 2.5mm - 3.5mm with some kind of lock (which is not needed at all). In short, the wire is also difficult to find. But you need him, because. Only 3m included! I don’t see the point in buying the original at all, giving 2022-2500 for a wire . Sorry, no. I found for 800r on Ali the cheapest (hospade, 800r for a wire from CHINA). Outcome. The sound is good, they sit well, but they press, and the head gets tired. The buying experience is extremely negative. I won't buy any more Audio-Technica headphones. Yes, of course, it's my own fault, I had to look at the reviews and equipment. But I did not look and ordered. Not a single negative review here, just not headphones, but gold. But there are disadvantages in the headphones themselves (the design, weight, pressure, the 2.5mm jack is also disgusting). Almost no one writes about them. It's all very doubtful!
