Creating even more comfort, the padded ear cushions are fully sealed for ideal isolation and can swivel 180 degrees for one-ear monitoring. On the left earpiece, the coiled cable ends in a gold-plated mini-plug that’s easily adapted to fit 1/4”. The ease of use, when combined with the unmatched comfort, would be enough for a proper recommendation. Luckily for you, Audio-Technica didn’t stop with the structure. The sound broadcast from these babies is warm, detailed, and well balanced through all ranges. The high punch may be too much for some listeners and the bass doesn’t boom heavily enough for dubstep, but the ATH-M50’s are versatile enough to appease even the most discerning audiophiles.
