Great Product

I love these headphones. I got them at a great price and I got them really fast...

Excellent Kit-Excellent Value

I've had the Audio Technica ATH-M50x for about a month now. I'd had two sets of Sennheisers, and a set of Koss prior to the ATs. All were great headphones that delivered years of great sound. All have easily outdone by the ATH-M50x in quality and range of sound! Terrific price from Sonic on top of that! Great Value................like Duluth Trading says; Get A Pair!

I only rated them a 1 on durability for obvious reasons; I will say they are a bit on the heavy side due to the high amount of metal in their construction vs the amount of plastic you usually see in headphones.

Excellent

I did a lot of research and study of other people's opinions before purchasing this item. I am happy to say that the People of the Internet did not let me down. This is excellent. Some songs do not adequately show off the headphones abilities but others, with sufficient audio quality (FLAC, say), definitely show me why I bought these. It has great bass and everything.
It is more comfortable than anything else I have worn as well, though wearing them for extended periods can start to irritate my head where the band presses down. I haven't ruled out the possibility that I simply haven't figured out how to adjust them properly. But either way, that is a minor point.

Very Pleased

Definitely recommend this product. The sound is fantastic - good bass and treble- and the fit is perfect. It comes with adapters for all types of plug connections.

Awesome

These headphones are incredible! For the price they absolutely can't be beat! I would take them over Beats any day!

I use them at the library, work and anywhere else I want to be secluded by my music. They are super comfortable. I can wear them for hours at a time. I've even laid on my side with them and the extra pressure on that ear wasn't an issue at all. The padding is lush and has held up very well so far.

I do wish they had an optional microphone cord though...

Everything we heard was true

Bought the ATH-M50x for my daughter for Christmas 2014, due to the rave reviews and personal experience by some friends of ours. My daughter is absolutely thrilled with the sound quality and she would know, being a cellist at UGA. If in the future I need a new set of headphones Audio-Technica will be the brand I consider first.....

awesome sound!

This headphone has somehow a neutral sound profile which is a bit towards stronger bass which makes it absolutely awesome for listening to music our watching movies. I am an usual user without any audio phonic experience, just super happy with the quality of sound for the price I paid. Highly recommended.

Great Quality

These are one of the best sounding headphones I have bought.
I already had bought the Special Edition Blue M50X so I knew what I was buying. I did my research before buying these and I have spent a lot more on other headphones and I have to say that these are still my favorites. Sonic Electronix offers the best for less and stand behind what they sale. I also bought the White M50X thanks to the great customer service at Sonic .
