Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Closed-Back Professional Studio Monitor Headphones Black

Experience pure sonic bliss with the ATH-M20x Closed-Back Professional Studio Monitor Headphones from Audio-Technica. These high-performance headphones designed for studio tracking and mixing. With 40mm neodymium magnet drivers, they provide a wide 15Hz-20kHz frequency range to capture every nuance of your audio. Their closed-back design offers superior isolation, blocking external noise so you can focus solely on the music.

Neodymium Magnet Drivers Deliver Accurate Frequency Response

The ATH-M20x headphones feature large 40mm neodymium magnet drivers that deliver accurate frequency response for balanced, natural sound. Their wide 15Hz-20kHz range ensures you won't miss a single high hat hit or bass drop. The neodymium magnets provide more power and sensitivity in a compact size, allowing the drivers to reproduce audio with precision and depth.

Closed-Back Design Blocks External Distractions

With a closed-back design, the ATH-M20x headphones isolate your ears from outside noise so you can focus on the details. Their circumaural earcups enclose your ears and form a seal, blocking environmental sounds and preventing headphone bleed. This isolation makes them ideal for recording, mixing and monitoring in loud environments like studios, stages and rehearsal spaces.

Premium Build for Comfort and Durability

Designed for extended wear, the ATH-M20x feature premium materials and a robust build. Their adjustable padded headband and cushioned earcups contour to your head for maximum comfort during long sessions. High-quality components like copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils provide longevity and reliability for years of professional use.

Versatile and Portable

With a collapsible design and included carrying pouch, the ATH-M20x headphones are ideal for on-the-go monitoring and travel. Their single-sided cable provides convenience, routing the cable to only one earcup to minimize tangling and excess wire. Lightweight yet durable, these headphones deliver professional-grade audio wherever your work takes you.

About Studio Headphones:

Headphones, once considered simply an accessory, have become a necessary part of virtually every studio's toolbox. From tracking to mixing—you need at least one great-sounding pair of “cans” to offer a new perspective on the music you make. But choosing a pair can be tricky, depending on the intended application and what your level of physical comfort with different styles is. Let's look at different types, one by one.

In-ear phones, sometimes called "earbuds" or "earphones," are the smallest, lightest and least conspicuous choice. They're definitely the best choice for onstage wireless monitoring, and some of the available fit options make for superb isolation. The seal with your ear can make for exaggerated frequency response, so in-ears wouldn't normally be the first choice for mixing or any sort of reference-quality listening. Some people have issues with comfort for long sessions, and some just don't like sticking something in their ear.

On-ear, or "supra-aural," phones rest (as should be obvious) on your ear. They don't offer quite the isolation of either of the other two types of phones, so they're a great choice when you need to be more aware of what's going on around you. Since they don't form a sealed chamber, they tend to have a more open sound with a frequency response that is very stable, so they're an excellent choice for reference monitoring and headphone mixing. They can, though, leak that sound to the rest of the world. This makes them not the best choice for tracking in a room with open mics. Because they rest on your ears, long sessions can get uncomfortable, which is why supra-aural phones with easily replaceable ear pads in a variety of foam density and covering types have become common.

Over-ear, or "circumaural," phones fit around your ear, creating a sealed chamber. Most really high-end phones tend to be of this type, as over-ear phones can fit larger drivers for better, more even frequency response, with a much tighter and more controlled low-frequency response. Circumaural phones tend to be the most immersive listening experience and make excellent reference monitors. Due to the fact that they're the largest headphones, they'll be a little heavier, but modern materials have decreased that weight and made long sessions with over-ear cans much more comfortable.
