Common Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Questions
How can I get the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones to be louder? They seem quiet compared to my other headphones.
The ATH-M50x are known for their balanced sound signature, not loudness. Ensure your audio interface or device's output volume is maximized without clipping and consider a dedicated headphone amplifier if you need more volume.
Do the ATH-M50x headphones require any special break-in period?
While not strictly required, many users find the ATH-M50x sound improves slightly after 40-100 hours of use due to the diaphragm loosening up, resulting in a more balanced frequency response.
Are the earcups on the ATH-M50x easily replaceable?
Yes, the earcups on the ATH-M50x are replaceable, and many third-party options are available that may improve comfort or isolation, though this is done by the user.
My ATH-M50x cable has become damaged. Can I replace it, and what kind of connector does it use?
Yes, the cable is detachable. The ATH-M50x uses a proprietary bayonet-style locking 2.5mm connector at the headphone end, so you'll need a replacement cable designed specifically for the M50x.
Are the ATH-M50x headphones suitable for mixing and mastering music?
The ATH-M50x are widely used for mixing and monitoring due to their relatively flat frequency response and detailed sound, but it is important to compare your mixes on multiple systems because they still color the sound somewhat.
