Audio Technica ATH-M50

The Audio Technica ATH-M50 are the highest model of studio monitor headphones made available by Audio Technica.  These studiophones are designed especially for professional monitoring and mixing giving exceptional accurate response. The generously padded circumaural closed earpieces provide maximum isolation for clear mixing, and along with the padded headband provide long lasting comfort for long mixing sessions. The earpieces can swivel 180 degrees for one-ear monitoring. The  collapsible design helps to minimize storage space, and provide efficient and protected transportation.  They have a frequency response of 15-28,000 Hz which is delivered from 45mm drivers.  The ATH-M50 comes with a 1.2-3.0 m (3.9' - 9.8') coiled cord ending in a 1/8" gold-plates stereo connection, and also comes with professional screw on 1/4" adapter.  They are also available with a straight 3.5m (11.0') cable, which are sold as the ATH-M50s.  Both models come with a protective pouch.
