Audio-Technica ATH-M60x On-Ear Wired Studio Headphones | On-Ear Design with 45mm Drivers for Clarity & Bass | Wired Monitor Headphones for Mobile & Studio Use

I am a new comer to the Audio Technica line of pro monitor headphones, having preferred Sennheiser's portable and home audio audiophile quality headphones (HD 598/599 and HD 650/660s) to all other brands. And then one day I watched Zeos Pantera's YT review where he praised this headphone and, wait for the surprise, the comparatively budget oriented M40x model (review coming up for that and other models too! My curiosity got the better of me and I bought this during the Dassera sale and trust me I haven't heard better on ear headphones than this one. Z reviews is right. It's smooth sounding, comfortable to wear (I have medium to large ears) and is well constructed. I believe in concise reviews so here's my take on the different aspects of this headphone: Comfort - 4 stars for an on ear. Those memory foam ear cups are awesome Sound - 5 Stars. Smooth, with great mids (vocals are excellent), these headphones need time to open up, they will reward you thereafter. Don't judge them by how they sound the first time you use them. These are monitors are have a comparatively flat FR albeit slightly V shaped compared to audiophile oriented cans like the Sennheiser 598/599, 650 and 660s. But trust me an audiophile could live with them and their revealing albeit not so bright sound that doesn't feel like pin pricks in your ears. Construction - 4 stars, part metal and but mostly plastic construction Value for money - 3.5 Stars, there are better sounding cans there for the price but once again, these are studio monitors and A-T makes some of the most popular ones along with Sennheiser's pro audio range and Beyerdynamic's DT880/990 monitors, not to forget the redoubtable DT 1990 and 1770. I have my eyes on the DT 1990, possibly the holy grail of studio monitors. EDIT - After a few weeks of use I give these headphones a nice 5 Star. A-T has given me a few pleasant surprises this year!

I will be honest, i absolutely love Audio TEchnica products. Why you ask ? Well just check their track record and judge for yourself. Before i purchased these i already own the M-40x, M-50x and the MSR7. however i think this along with the MSR7 sound absolutely amazing. UNlike others this one is on-ear design. In terms of sound quality it ticks all the check boxes. It produces great low end, not over-powering or ear rattling but just the right amount. EDM lovers, especially the ones who prefer vocal trance will absolutely love this. THe mids sound and highs might sound a little rolled off. Other that this i cant really see a weakness with this pair of headphones. I highly recommend this product.

The sound is absolutely natural, no boosts to bass or treble. One can differentiate between highs and lows at low volume also. One con about the product is that the cups are fixed, they cannot be swirled at 90°. Hence, inconvenient to hang it around neck.

They are the best headphones I have used in this price bracket. Sound is truly amazing.

Dear guys, the reason why I bought this headphone is because I watched 'Zeos', Z Reviews on youtube, at first I wrote a positive review, because, I got into the hype train, but now after almost 1 year of using it, I am giving my honest review. at point blank I can say, it is not a great headphone at all, the mid-range & Vocals are thin & dry lacks texture and definition...the over all resolution is also lacking. Although it has great detail retrieval capability, (even faintest instruments will be audible )but, it lacks Timbre, Texture & natural sound and but however it has wide sound-stage for a closed back headphone. When it was launched I bought it for 12k but now it is sold at 20k i believe as the hype increased, so also the price ;-) whatever. The equipment that I use are, IFi Micro Black Label Amp/Dac, I also used it with Fiio M9 DAP and Topping E30/E50s Dac with THX 789 Amp (Drop). Comparing ATH-M60X to Sennheiser HD 58X, Sennheiser HD650/HD6xx, Hifman Sundara, Hifman, HE400i,Moondrop Kanspro (IEM)... this Audio-Technica ATH-M60X lacks resolution, Timbre & Texture and sounds so artificial. So my final thoughts.. for the price of 20k I suggest you buy Hifman HE400i its cheaper & it sounds awesome, natural, resolution, depth, sound-stage will blow you away and you will never ever regret it.

Excellent casque, confortable pour les longues sessions, qualité du son vraiment top, très pratique avec les câbles détachables. J’alterne les usages professionnel et loisir (musique, gaming). Par contre, comme pour tous les casques, il faut veiller à l’alimenter avec un bon dac.

Son más chicos que los m40 pero son más cómodos y suenan mejor

So this is an on-ear version of the Audio-Technica M50X... (with some more features I will mention down below) Drop every pre-conceived notion about the driver from say, Zeo's videos. I've never had the M50X, but listened to them. They do sound as if they have the same 50mm driver, but the distance of the driver to your ear, and the housing/pads are all different. And for this particular driver, the on-ear is the way to go. The On-ear sounds good, much more clearer and present bass than headphones, imagine the classic Audio-Technica M50/X but without the rumbling and harshness that some people find and hate. I've owned these headphones for more than 2 years while having other, arguably better headphones, but out of my headphones, these M60X has been worn the longest, why? Because it does 2 things very well: 1. The headphones come with a decibel limiter, which limits the maximum sound to 100dB, there is a tiny switch on the top of the left cup that limits the total volume output through hardware (resistors). It takes a toothpick to change between the two modes. This means you can use the headphones to test bunch of audio equipments (this is also a really good reference monitor), that have different gain levels, it's pretty obvious when the headphones limit the volume (the sound will cut out), you can adjust accordingly, never blow out your ears/earphones by accidentally plugging it into a nuclear reactor (you know the brands). 1-1. The volume limiter works on EVERYTHING, it's not a software solution, it will work on games if you hate some explosion sounds. 2. The headphones have very good, comfortable padding and is on-ear, which means I can sleep with these earphones, and as long as I don't sleep on my sides, I can wear it indefinitely because the bottom of the cups aren't pushed into the pillows at all, and the pads are thick, comfortable, and don't get sweaty at all for me (it does get warm). I've fell asleep to so much music over the years I had these that I can confidently say that these headphones have the most on-time out of all my other headphones which I use normally for music. Every day I put on a good album/playlist, and I can only remember listening to the first 3 or 4. 2-1. These headphones are amazing for Solo, classic music. Like Glenn Gould's piano recordings and spoken words / audiobooks. The mids are pronounced and the sounds are clear and distinct, like other reference monitors - but unlike those mid-focused headphones, the bass is also clear and impactful, but it's also very easy for ears. The best headphones for bedside listening.

Usate principalmente per il cinema in accoppiata con sintoamplificatore yamaha RX-V773. Il suono è fedele alla traccia audio, le voci si sentono distinte soprattutto nelle traccie in lingua originale. Ottimi bassi e range ampio. Per chi porta gli occhiali stringono un po' sulle orecchie e dopo diverse ore possono risultare un po' scomode ma per un film medio di 2 ore non ci sono problemi. Ho già avuto del ATX M50x e la differenza si sente, forse la 50x sono più comode, ma la qualità di queste 60x è notevole. Chiaramente sempre rapportata ad una cuffia wired di questa fascia. Il cavo di 3m permette di usarla anche se l'amplificatore è lontano.

Great sound for music and monitoring. Useful db limiter feature as well
