About this item

Written by Crutchfield's David Brown

Great value for musicians and listeners

Audio-Technica's M-series headphones are favorites among recording musicians and music lovers for their great sound, comfort, and affordable prices. The ATH-M20x headphones are ideal for the studio — their closed-back design keeps sound from leaking into live mics, while their over-the-ear fit and thick padding keeps them comfortable during long sessions. The large 40mm drivers are tuned for enhanced low-frequency response, so you get a little extra bass thump in addition to their smooth midrange and high frequencies. You don't have to be a recording professional to appreciate the sound of these headphones — especially given their budget-friendly price.

Swiveling earcups and an extra-long cable

The 'M20x headphones feature earcups that rotate and swivel. They help provide a great fit in addition to allowing single-ear use for recording. The extra-long cable connects to a single earcup, so you can easily maneuver in the studio. A 1/4" adapter is included for plugging into pro gear or your home stereo. The two-year warranty means you won't have to treat these durable headphones with kid gloves.
