Audio Technica ATH-M40x

These phones feature 40mm neodymium magnet drivers that deliver the accurate frequency response and solid bass you need to make sound decisions when you're recording, mixing, or DJ'ing. The closed-back design of the ATH-M40x gives you superior isolation with minimal bleed, while the circum-aural ear-pads give you cushy comfort during long sessions. Also consider their space-saving collapsible design, swivel ear-cups, and detachable cable (the ATH-M40x comes with both straight and coiled ones), and you've got one the best money-for-value deals out there.
