  • Professional-grade earpad and headband material delivers more durability and comfort.
  • Rugged construction, a secure, highly effective closed-ear design

The ATH-M40x are the little brother to the M50x. Not as expensive, not as flexible, but minimal difference on sound quality. An excellent on-ear podcast headphone.

the ATH-M40x’s provide a great balance of comfort and audio quality. The major differences between the two models are the M40x only produces audio to 24,000 Hz, has less impedance, and the ear cups don’t swivel in 90 degrees.
