Review: Audio-Technica’s ATH-M50x closed-back studio monitor headphones live up to the hype

<p>For the last few months I’ve been using my Apple EarPods for nearly every application that requires in-ear audio. I use my EarPods for monitoring while recording voiceovers, for podcasting, and for everyday music listening.</p>
<p>Absurd as it is, the last pair of headphones I’d owned, a pair of Sony MDR-7506’s (http://amzn.to/1NnbMk3), ended up developing a short in the cable. I simply never got around to replacing them in a timely manner.</p>
<p>Audio-Technica’s ATH-M50, and the updated ATH-M50x (http://amzn.to/1s0O7wn), have received rave reviews from tech sites, bloggers and YouTubers alike. The love that these headphones receive on a regular basis convinced me that the next pair of headphones that I tried needed to be these. Do they live up to the hype? <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/08/review-audio-technica-ath-m50x-headphones/#more-430214" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
