The Audio Technica ATH-M50X will heat up your ears after a while if you live in a hot area. Pleather pads and shallow cups are not a great combo for keeping ears cool. However, this is rarely a major problem in the UK, where we’ve been using the pair. Each Audio-Technica Certified Refurbished product has been meticulously inspected and tested by a member of our quality control team, cleaned* and fitted with replacement parts as needed, ensuring you get the same high-fidelity performance you expect from new A-T products. We include all the accessories and cables that accompany the new model, along with a one-year limited end-user warranty. Come with a neodymium magnet – this means a lighter and more powerful headphone. Also, they have lower bass and more clear high frequency notes.

While the M50x does cost a tad bit more, they maintain the M50’s awesome build, high quality, flexibility, portable design ideas, attention to detail, main features and technical specifications.

Interchangeable cables: detachable 1.2 m - 3.0 m (3.9' - 9.8') coiled cable and detachable 1.2 m (3.9') straight cable In terms of materials, the Audio Technica ATH-M50X are all-plastic aside from the band of metal inside the headband and a few little aluminium highlights. See the ring on the cups and the little silvery circles telling you whether the cup plays the left or right channel? These parts are metal. A removable cable is one of the differences between the original ATH-M50 and the newer ATH-M50X. You get both short and long cables, letting them have a double life in and out of the home. There are three cables in the box, one for portable use and both coiled and straight longer cables for home listening.

Proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils Detachable cables (includes 1.2 m - 3.0 m coiled cable, 3.0 m straight cable and 1.2 m straight cable) Great sound quality: the frequency response ranges from 15 to 28,000 Hz with remarkable flatness – the flatness of the frequency response impacts directly the sound quality. More flat means less distortion and therefore higher sound quality.Essentially, the cables are the biggest exterior difference, but there may be a few other aspects that might be important to some. For instance, the top band of the headphone and the headphone cups are actually a bit softer and more comfortable. In addition, they seem to be more flexible and are not as tight on your head. They are definitely comfortable! Of course, they still have that great noise isolating seal on the top.
