Review on Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, Black: Superior Sound and Comfort by Asahi Akio ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I bought headphones for the Fiio X1 player. Never regretted it. For the second month I have been listening to flac-format music with studio sound quality. Headphones are suitable for playing any music, but in some cases you will have to twist the equalizer. The only complaint about the sound I will have is not the best detailing of high frequencies. As one of the users already noted, the headphones have a fairly high impedance. The hi-fi player more or less copes, but a regular mp3 player (or a media player of the Sony NWZ-E383 level), as practice shows, does not close the capabilities of these "ears": the sound is clamped. There is also no volume control on the cable, so when playing from some phones, the volume level may change jerkily. In general, in terms of price / quality ratio, an extremely successful model. I recommend. *ated on 11/25/2022. 1) I take my words about the design back. I thought that these headphones look ugly and unaesthetic until I saw the ideological competitors, which are the Sony MDR-7506 and Sennheiser HD 280 PRO. Here the designers rested properly. I ask the owners of these models not to kick me hard, I'm not saying that they are bad. 2) I experienced a lot of frustration when I connected the headphones to the computer. The sound became incredibly dry, with strongly dominant high frequencies. The bass has simply evaporated, it's basically non-existent. Volume is also not felt. If anyone wants to connect the M30x to a computer, it's better to immediately think about purchasing an amplifier or a good sound card.

Pros
  • 1) Sound. Not to say that it is perfect, but its 6,000. win back 100%. The bass is unobtrusive, the sound is quite neutral - exactly what I was looking for. 2) Excellent sound insulation. The people around you don't hear your music and you don't hear the people around you. 3) Portability. The foldable design of the headphones makes them incredibly compact when folded. A simple leatherette bag included. 4) Reliability and quality. Nothing backlash and does not creak. The wire does not twist into knots. All movable joints are quite strong. 5) Soft ear pads. You can leave your headphones on for several hours. At the same time, the material of the ear pads is chosen so that the headphones are evenly pressed against the head. The main thing is to choose the right fit so that the ears are comfortable. 6) Audio-Technica, after all.
Cons
  • 1) Non-detachable cable. The main disadvantage of headphones, which significantly limits the practicality and scope of their applicability. Firstly, listening to music from a player or phone, carrying 2 meters of cable in your pocket will be at least inconvenient. Secondly, in the event of a wire failure, it will no longer be possible to repair the headphones without a soldering iron and electrical tape. 2) They sound absolutely disgusting from the integrated sound card. At least for me. To listen to music from a computer, you need either a discrete card or a separate amplifier. It probably has an impedance of 47 ohms.
