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 Ada Diak ᠌

Excellent headphones, particularly considering the low cost. You will hear nuances in the music that you were previously unaware of if you previously used an affordable gaming headset. The difference will be noticeable if you previously used any gaming headset. I've already discussed comfort in the last paragraph; you just need to break it in. When worn for extended periods of time, the ear pads have a very snug fit, which results in excellent soundproofing properties. However, this does not result in any significant discomfort; the ears heat up but do not sweat while wearing the headphones. It is true that soundproofing is somewhat of a double-edged sword, and it is important to keep this in mind. On the one hand, there is no one or anything that can stop you from listening to music. On the other hand, if there is another person in the house, he probably won't yell at you. Because it is not included in the package, you will need to go out and buy a short wire for each meter if you intend to use it with a telephone. You have the option of purchasing it directly from Audio-Technique or, in the event that the toad is suffocating, through Alik. The widespread consensus is that only favorable impressions may be formed. When you buy these headphones, you get 90 percent of the sound that you can hear on models that are five to ten times more expensive, and for 90 percent of individuals, this will be more than enough. If you are certain of your hearing, you can achieve complete immersion by purchasing a low-cost external DAC with an amplifier from Alik for the price range of two thousand five hundred to three thousand dollars, which will still be far better than what is on the great majority of motherboards. If, at the same time, you hear a noticeable difference and want something better, or if you are just very confident in your hearing, but you don't want to sell the apartment, then the next logical step would be the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro at 80 or 250 Ohm in conjunction with an external DAC such as the Fiio K5 Pro. To the people who have been complaining about the bass: ladies and gentlemen, this is how the bass is supposed to sound. If you don't believe me, move your ear closer to the subwoofer. If you were using gaming headphones or plugs that could only grunt at low frequencies prior to then, then of course it will be strange for you to be using these now.
