Review on Black Audio-Technica ATH-M20X Professional Headphones for Studio Monitoring by Ada Bronowicka ᠌

As far as I understand, the price here comes primarily from the brand and secondary characteristics, while saving on the most important thing - the sound quality itself. Very upset with the purchase. Some pros: - Soundproofing. Not a complete vacuum, of course, but quite decent and cuts off most of the sounds of the outside world. - Weight - you know, on the contrary, I expected that a decent thing would be weighty, but the first thought that appeared after I picked them up was "Why are they so light ?!". Thus, there are no complaints about landing on the head; with prolonged use, the head and ears do not get tired, as was the case with previous axelvoxes. Cons: - Sound. Do you know that feeling when buying good headphones you listen to the entire audio library and old songs that you can only get to to hear new details in them? So, if you take these headphones, you will not experience it for quite a long time. The sound is absolutely mediocre, straight to the offensive. Moreover, I will say a blasphemous thing, for which fans of this brand will shoot me with minus throwers - there is no directly striking difference between my Panasonic RP-HJE125 combat plugs for 500 on Sound Blaster PLAY! 3 and these headphones. That is, yes, the stage is a little wider, there are a little more details, but in general I didn’t gasp when I started listening to music in them, and this is a problem, because I didn’t expect such a feeling when I bought headphones of a famous brand for 3.5k. Moreover, the sound in them is poorer than in the cheaper Axelvox HD242 that I had before -> a small amount of bass that you literally have to look for under a magnifying glass in the tracks and a large number of high and medium ones that hurt the ear, and even in some compositions, manage to get mixed up, absolutely terrifying with the end result. The only direct positive moment came out where he was not expected at all -> excellent sound positioning in games, in which the location of the enemy is calculated completely relaxed, almost intuitively understandable. - Long wire. Ideally, of course, it would be better if the wire was removable, so that the user himself decides how long he needs the cable.
