Westone W40 + Audio Technica ATH-M50x (Black)

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.

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...

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.

Good Product

The item is comfortable and has great sound. They also look great. Shipping was quick and the price was great. Zero complaints!

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.

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.

Awesome IEM's

First, let me say writing product reviews is not my forte; however, I feel compelled to share my thoughts on my Westone’s W40 In-Ear-Monitors.

After researching the different brands of IEM’s available in the market for several months, via the internet and in stores, I purchased a pair of Westone W40 IEM’s. This was a major purchase; I’ve owned several other brands over the years, but nothing remotely close to this investment price for IEM’s. I travel for work and was looking for IEM’s that had the following qualities:

• Comfortable, with noise isolation qualities
• Clear, controlled sound
• Bass delivered as it was intended (full but not overpowering)
• Compact light travel case

My W40’s arrived and I could not wait to plug them in to see how they sounded. My first impression was they were just OK; not great, but not bad either…just neutral. Factored into my decision was the required time to ‘burn in’ for my W40’s. My W40’s came to life (WOW) after about 50 hours of use. Activities during the ‘burn in’ phase included, listening to music, watching movies and multiple conference calls using the provided MFI cable.

Here are my thoughts after two weeks of using my W40’s – SWEET, AWESOME, FANTASTIC! The sound is absolutely impeccable! I enjoy hearing the bass (robust and full, while not overpowering), the beautiful mids and trebles are balanced along with superb separation of instruments and vocals (in many instances, I feel like I am hearing new instruments in my music selections). I am simply amazed with the clarity and overall sound my W40’s deliver.

Additional items worth mentioning:

• People sound like they are sitting in the same room with me during conference calls when I dial in from a remote location. The pitch is flawless (an added benefit I did not consider in my purchase requirements).
• The product comes with two types of ear buds; silicone and foam in multiple sizes. My recommendation is to try both types of ear buds and the different sizes. It took me about a week of trial and error to find the ones that work best for me.
• The mini vault is a nice touch, but I find it difficult to store my IEM’s with the MFI phone cable attached.

While the price was higher than I planned on spending, I don’t regret my purchase. My W40’s are everything I thought they would be and more. My only regret …not buying them sooner.

Live... Live.. Live...!!

When you are headphones are ON...one word to describe it is "LIVE ORCHESTRA"
