## Overview

The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x are professional open-back reference headphones designed for demanding audio production. Weighing only 207g, they feature a fully open-back design that eliminates internal resonance, delivering a wide, natural soundstage with extended bass and precise midrange. Equipped with two detachable twist-lock cables, these headphones offer durable comfort and versatile connectivity, making them ideal for mixing, mastering, and immersive listening experiences.

## Description

The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are designed to provide a natural listening experience with an expansive soundstage that’s ideal for all manner of critical-listening tasks. The headphones’ drivers are modelled after those used in the original ATH-R70x, now re-engineered to deliver bass that’s surprisingly powerful for an open-back model, plus an accurate upper midrange to ensure the clarity of vocals and lead instruments without sacrificing overall balance. Key to delivering this natural, full-spectrum sound is the headphones’ pure open-back design, which doesn’t embellish the sound coming from the drivers. The ATH-R50x headphones are engineered to deliver dynamic, detailed audio, with powerful sub-bass and a realistic soundstage, directly from the drivers without any additional acoustic tuning. The fully open earcups also provide greater comfort than closed-back models – comfort enhanced by the newly designed headband and durable, lightweight construction. Perfect for mixing, mastering, or creating, the ATH-R50x provides precise, reliable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, making it a versatile choice for any professional or home studio.

Review: Olha realmente bem definido e claro os sons. Porém ainda achei um pouquinho baixo pra utilizar com o meu piano fp30x. Como ele é aberto, consegue ouvir bastante som externo, e por não conseguir ser tão alto acaba deixando insaciado Um amp/dac mediano já resolveria o problema, porém pelo preço acho que não valeria a pena. Além disso muito confortável. Se ele estivesse na faixa dos R$800 até R$900 acho que valeria o produto
Review: I’ve been using the Audio-Technica ATH‑M50x for a while now, and they’ve impressed me so much that I felt compelled to write a review. These headphones strike a really nice balance between fun and accurate. The bass is tight and punchy without being boomy, the mids are clear so vocals and instruments sound natural, and the highs have good detail without getting harsh or piercing. I can switch from music to podcasts to movies and never feel like I’m missing anything. Comfort is excellent for longer sessions. The ear pads seal well without clamping too hard, and the headband feels solid but not heavy. I can wear them for a couple of hours at a time without hot spots or fatigue. The build quality is also reassuring: lots of plastic, but it feels sturdy, and the folding design makes them easy to toss in a bag. One thing I really like is the removable cable system. Being able to swap cables (or replace one if it ever fails) is a big plus, and the included cables cover most situations—at home, on the go, or at a desk. Overall, these are easy to recommend if you want a step up from basic consumer headphones. They’re reliable, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable to listen to, whether you’re casually listening or doing more focused work like light mixing or content creation.

*by D***D on 2 December 2025*

I am impressed. At this price level, the headphones sound great, are very comfortable, wide soundstage, premium look and feel. I can compare with Hifiman Ananda Nano and Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro and these are easily the most pleasing and fun for listening and mixing music. Ananda Nano has bit wider soundstage and overall more fuller sound, but they are quite heavy with higher head pressure, so they don't fit that well for longer periods. R50x is much more comfortable and out of the box just more neutral tuned.
