Model: ATH-M30X
from $0
The Audio-Technica ATH-M30x are closed-back, over-ear monitor headphones designed for accurate audio reproduction. Featuring 40mm dynamic drivers, these headphones offer a frequency response of 15 Hz to 22 kHz and a sensitivity of 96 dB, delivering clear stereo sound. Their foldable design with swiveling earcups and a comfortable headband makes them suitable for extended listening sessions, while the 9.8-foot non-detachable cable with a 3.5mm TRS connector (and included 1/4" adapter) provides ample reach for various audio setups.
Choose between open-back (spacious sound, leaks noise) and closed-back (isolating, punchy bass) designs based on your environment. For wireless headphones, prioritize comfort and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance. Available from $0.
Wired headphones have no ongoing costs besides occasional earpad replacements. Wireless headphones function as consumables, as their batteries will eventually degrade after a few years of daily use.
