I love them, i wish... i wish they were as comfortable as my beyerdynamic dt770.... other than that, theyre not uncomfortable but i can see why some people complain, i would say between these and the beyer dt770 and sony 7506, this is probably the least comfy compared to those 2? But i love how they sound, my beyer dt770 overhypes the highs too much this is a more balanced sound.. and the bass is there, it is not nonexistent like some people claim. i like the sound more than DT770 pro. Monitoring is excellent with them as expected. Build quality seems fine they seem durable, maybe abusing them can lead to breaking but i take good care of my stuff, time will tell. They feel sturdier than the sony 7506, the dt770 feels even sturdier. Also something i like about these, the low impedance is easy to drive, they are very loud and clear, powerful sound. My dt770 250ohm is quieter, no surprises here. I recommend them, i tried the ATH - M50X and i hated how bass boosted those were.. heard myself muffled on those. If you do monitoring and audio stuff get the M40X if you do multimedia and gaming only probably the ATH M50X are better, if you like the comfiest headphones you can wear even on summer, the DT770 pro / pro x would suit you.

DINERO GENUINAMENTE INVERTIDO
Size: ATH-M40XStyle: HeadphonesVerified Purchase
Después de casi 11 meses con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que son uno de los audífonos más fieles en cuanto a sonido plano se refiere. Yo anteriormente contaba con unos Sony MDR-ZX660AP, de mismo modo adquiridos en esta plataforma hace ya unos 3 o 4 años. Por lo que el sonido que generaban dichos audífonos se habían establecido en mis oídos. Básicamente estaba acostumbrado a tener un sonido no tan plano, muy juguetón con los bajos, los medios estaban bien, aunque no sentía un rango tan amplio en cuanto al panorama musical.Jesús CarreraDINERO GENUINAMENTE INVERTIDO
Reviewed in Mexico on January 17, 2024
Sin embargo, al pasarme con los Audio Technica M40X, debo decir que fue una gran sorpresa. Son audifonos caros (al menos para mi bolsillo), pero siento que cada peso invertido es una ganga. Comencemos por el lado bueno.
PROS: A decir verdad, no soy un especialista en la rama audiófila, ni mucho menos un nato conocedor de la música. No obstante, desde mi punto de vista (como usuario común y corriente que es entusiasta de la música) debo recalcar que los M40X, hacen que la música se escuche tal cual un productor la realizó.
Describiría su sonido como algo espaciado y no aglomerado. Por lo que rápidamente detectas las frecuencias de los instrumentos. De mismo modo, te da una especie de panorama increible. A lo cual, hace que identifiques si un bajo está por encima de una guitarra, o si la guitarra está por encima de la voz, y no está demás mencionar que son buenos en cuanto a limpieza de audio nos referimos. Tuve unas malas experiencias con el famoso white noise en algunos formatos de audio, y vaya que con los M40X, los detalles menos perceptibles los escucharas.
Otro punto a destacar es su baja impedancia. Por lo general, los audífonos que cuentan con estas características, siempre deben de contar con una fuente de energía que potencie su sonido. Sin embargo, los M40X son una buena alternativa, ya que no requiere de dicha fuente. Aunque, si quieres sacarle todo el jugo a los audífonos, deberías de tomarlo en cuenta.
Finalmente, los audífonos ciertamente son de frecuencias planas. Pero no está de más mencionar que sí requiere de una pequeña pulida en el sonido. Por lo que recomiendo arduamente ecualizarlos. De ahí en fuera, la calidad del material de construcción de los audífonos es buena. Con el tiempo el plástico comienza a crujir, pero aun con ese pequeño defecto, vale la pena adquirirlos. Aunque claro, si quisieras una mejor calidad en materiales de contruccion, mejor compra los M50X. Algo que se me olvido mencionar, es que al comprar los audifonos, el paquete te trae funda para tus audifonos, cable de repuesto, adaptador plug para conectarlo a un amplificador o tarjeta de audio y eventualmente los audífonos. (No aparecen en las fotos que adjunte, pero muy probablemente veras fotos de otros clientes en el cual muestren el paquete completo).
CONTRAS: A decir verdad y como lo había recalcado con anterioridad, se me hicieron unos audífonos algo caros. Claro, no son para un mercado comercial. Se entiende que son audifonos para un área profesional. Además de que, comparando con sus competencias, el precio se puede justificar. Sin embargo y como todo audifono, con el paso del tiempo comienza un desgaste tanto en almohadillas, como en el soporte que va por encima de nuestra cabeza. Si eres un usuario que mantiene los audífonos solamente en tu estudio y además, cuentas con aire acondicionado, muy probablemente este detalle no comience a los 9 o 10 meses. Sin embargo, si eres una persona que no cuenta con aire acondicionado en su estudio y por desgracia, vives en un área calurosa (cómo es en mi caso y hablamos de 36°C a 40°C), muy probablemente comience más rápido el desgaste del material. Pero ojo, no está de más recalcar que son detalles que no afectan el sonido final del producto. Y por ende, existe solución a este problema. Se pueden comprar almohadillas de mejor calidad, y sigues con la buena experiencia y muy posiblemente más cómodo. Simplemente menciono estos detalles para que tomes en cuenta tu monedero.
En resumen, son audífonos que valen mucho la pena. Si llegaran a encontrarlos en descuento, que mejor que adquirirlos. Creo que serian una muy buena opción para adentrarse al mundo de los audífonos de frecuencias planas. Espero y les haya ayudado mi reseña. Les deseo lo mejor. ¡Saludos!
