Audio-Technica ATH-M30X

Pros: Amazing clarity, punch and performance.
They are able to produce a loud clear sound and the closed cup helps a lot. The ear pads stood well and remained comfortable even after a 4-6 hour daily use.
They give a slight discomfort after prolonged use, but i have not found any headphones that don't (plus, it feels like a subjective matter).

Cons: Lately the coils have started rattling a lot even at low-mid volume. Then again i can't fault a 55 euro purchase after lasting 2 full years.
Also, the cable is very long and heavy, making it hard to use on the road if you don't have somewhere to hide it.

They do need replacing as they are, but would i choose Audio Technica headphones again? Oh yes!
The next ones are going to be the M50 as i do feel they are at least equally great but with a detachable cable and a better power handling.

These earphones are great for the price. They have a good flat frequency response , like most audio technica products. The built quality is not optimal but at this low price the sound makes up for it. The metal sliders don?t slide in very easily making the process of adjusting the bands feel sketchy even though they are strong enough to not break. However the hinges do move a bit to smoothly making them feel somewhat to turning. All of this is completely normal for an entry level headset. However , these are amazing to work with in a studio environment. I use my Yamaha hs7s to make the important and use these to double check my mix. I also use these mainly for the vocalists. All my clients seem to love them. The long cable provides great freedom to move. This pair is a must buy if you are looking for a cheap yet quality secondary studio sound source.

I have bout these for silent guitar practicing. I also wanted to have extra headphones for decent and simple music (or podcast) listening. They are pretty good for the price range I must say. It does both things I bought it for pretty well. They are pretty comfortable, easy to use. Pros: 1) value for money; 2) quite comfortable even after hours of having the on; 3) the sound is really good; 4) a small pro - comes with nice and comfy bag; 5) the jack adapter is very nice and holds tight. Cons: 1) a slight buzz when playing low E string; 2) after longer use,it gets too warm for your ears. To summarize, great value for money.
