The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The earcups swivel 90 degrees, so you can monitor with just one ear while keeping the other open to hear the room, which is useful during recording sessions.
- They come with two different cables, a coiled one and a straight one, so you can pick whichever works better for your setup.
- The build is sturdy with professional-grade materials on the earpads and headband, which means they should hold up to regular use in a studio environment.
As of Aug 14, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50XGM Professional Monitor is overpriced at $214 — versus a $173.34 typical price and a $124 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
