Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Closed-Back Monitor Headphones

Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones for Tracking and Mixing

The Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Closed-Back Monitor Headphones are designed for studio tracking, mixing, location recording, and daily listening where solid build quality and dependable audio performance are important. Their over-ear, closed-back design helps isolate the listener from outside sounds, making them a practical choice for production rooms, mobile recording setups, editing desks, and personal monitoring environments.

Equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth neodymium magnets and CCAW voice coils, the ATH-M30x headphones deliver a 15 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response with enhanced midrange definition. This tuning supports clear monitoring for vocal, instrument, dialogue, and program audio work where detail and consistency matter.

The circumaural design contours around the ears to help provide sound isolation in loud environments while reducing bleed during recording. 15-degree swiveling earcups, generous cushioning on the headband and earpads, and a foldable design support comfortable use, easy storage, and convenient transport.

An attached 9.8 ft straight cable exits from the left earcup for simple side identification and reduced cable clutter. The cable includes a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for compatible mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks, with a quarter-inch screw-on adapter included for connection to compatible audio interfaces, mixers, stereo receivers, and headphone amplifiers.
