Audio-Technica M30x Professional Studio Headphones for studio recording, creators, podcasts and everyday listening

Product Information

Lower bass notes have more thump, likely because those land in the parts of the frequency spectrum output with a subtle bump in decibels. Humility, passion, creativity and expertise in sound are the core values behind Audio-Technica’s legacy, greatly inspired by its founder - whose imprint on the company’s philosophy is still felt today. The black ATH-M30x Monitor Headphones from Audio Technica are designed for use in studio tracking, mixing, or field recording applications and feature 40mm Neodymium drivers with copper-clad aluminum voice coils tuned for detailed mid-range definition. Other considerations come into play like audio leakage so as to minimize how much of the track you play along to is picked up by your mic—these kinds of things. If you want something more refined and don’t mind majorly upping the budget, the Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X kind of does everything — you can track with it and mix in a pinch, and the velour ear cups feel much more comfortable over long sessions.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M30X headphones are designed to be an affordable option for closed-back studio headphones. Would appreciate if you can point them out, or if you have any questions about how they do on specific tracks, I can give it a listen over Spotify and let you know what I think.

Audio-Technica's ATH-M series is a line of closed-back, studio-quality monitoring headphones and includes models to suit any budget. For over 50 years Audio-Technica has worked alongside leading figures in sports and music broadcast to develop and hone a range of products that deliver on the highest level. However, the overall amount of isolation is only about 10dB in the mid-range and 0dB in the bass range.Tuned for highly detailed audio, with strong mid-range definition, these versatile monitoring headphones are ideal in a variety of situations.

All models have 40mm diameter drivers, neodymium magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice-coils for lowest mass, resulting in extended frequency response and the capability to produce high sound levels, Drivers, oxygen-free copper litz cables, and ear-pads may be replaced by the user.However, they look more cheaply made than the higher-end Audio-Technica ATH-M40x and Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. You won’t necessarily want to sit down and mix your hot single on the ATH-M30x, but you can record your vocals wearing them. The ATH-M30x is the perfect introduction to the award-winning collection, bringing pristine audio, unrivalled comfort, and solid build-quality to every skill level.

Audio Technica have put comfort at the forefront of the M-Series design and the ATH-M30x is no different. offering 'exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with deep, accurate bass response'. If you like to listen back to your recordings, or others on the go, the T2 is small and wired with a nice neutral frequency response. While neither of the M-series headphones are perfectly “flat”, to my ears, the M30x sound the most balanced.

In short, if the lack of distinct size adjustment positions and a long, non-detachable cable is not an issue, I would highly recommend these headphones for either doing some studio work or just listening to your favorite tunes. Our headphone preference curve dips in volume slightly around 5kHz, and the ATH-M30x exaggerates that, reproducing 5kHz sounds 10dB lower than our ideal.
