All user reviews for the Audio-Technica ATH-M40FS

Jai pr command this headphone only 66th in nine thomann germany in 2004: o))
I find trs robust, well done, mix spcial etc. .. I think the view of "asshole" (lol, o))) below, is taken into account especially APRS so much time and comparison (+ I had more in, I was just a beyer 770pro!) (notice of 'golgoth' seems a little "ledge" and drive less argument .. .. but what is more good, more "Sony" is not in Submitted the studio .. a pro Beyer if you put more or Sennheiser yes but l..)

I re-post my impressions of the "bte" ds I use on my best EchoGina (sound card) or on my mixing console (Mackie vlzpro 1402) I will also test on my cha tite Sony does, etc. .. :

- Done (2008, 2004 more!): APRS qq Annes, frankly, no complaints! I find myself making good, reliable headset, trs "round" as his soft, "FULL", good balance .. not too sharp, I find the cal fairly well respected, never had any worries grsillements (and yet I often listen hard enough) (but good if you swing the tecnho or treble, volume 30 a, maybe? me it rather rock ind rock, jazz, blues or classical, loundge or drum'n'bass, trip hop, electro rap, but most especially YOU CAN EVEN MIX THREE TIMES FIVE TIMES NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE EAR FATIGUE hyper enjoyable .. so .. not feel dtestable, type ears warm, or "to have full of cum" as with other headphones, bursting, after you are deaf limit (e), lol, and then was in a long session of work on something, god c is super enjoyable to have this audio technica !!!!!: o)

* So: again! without worry. priori there is again ATHM 50. to see, so. for later, but me it is like new (myself am not used in recent months, but seems to fawn solid head).

- How long have you use it?
I use it for the past one week.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+ The price for a headset to make a draft of mastering effective.
+ Its position on the head
+ It is closed loosely head to my taste
+ Its definition sound is absolutely beautiful
+ A cable that looks strong enough (by pulling on it a little, just to see )

- The finish is a little plastic
- A unique piece 6.5 (have to buy a piece 6.5 / 3.5 for my sound card) But a good tip.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes two low-end models and headphones Dj. So every time is not suitable for mastering. Because of this I was really amazed.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
It is his strong point as it is the only one in its price class. So the value for money is the best possible.
- With experience, you do again this choice?
Without hesitation.

When I put the note a ten / ten. It's true that I have this headphone on a whim that was afraid of some opinions of the forum and by speaking of his lack of bass. But remember that it is a monitoring headphones, as the monitor speakers do not necessarily flatter listening. But thanks to this headphone my songs would end up much flatter on my stereo speakers ...

I did that depuisquelques days and my first studio headphones to monitor destiny.

I find his "round", musical, with low trs Submitted dtailleset of AIGS and never aggressive.

+ The Hyper comfortable to wear! It's a real rgal compartment of other models I've tried.

The -: Heavy.
It does not fold, doncencombrant carry.
No mini-jack adapter included 3.5 (mean).

It insulates well, without feeling of choking etparaitsolide (well built) just like the braided cable (which is a bit long)

Excellent quality-price. A purchase that I would do it eyes closed! Unless I crack pourl'ATH-M30, cheaper, lighter (200g) and a bit less sturdy in appearance but with the exception of the close CHARACTERISTICS trs rponse (20-20000Hz) and Headphones least tench ... but also linear trs!

I have these headphones for 3 years and my first headphone c'tait worthy of the name!

I took it because I needed a good quality headphone that allowed me to mix small and make the CONTRL Stereo and I must say that I is t's never happened to me to Fully mixes with the headphone and the Mackie HR824 CONTRL on Adams and S2A and I found exactly what I heard through headphones. Some would say that it is feeble in the low, attention is a headphone with a flat rponse is made for the monitoring, a stereo headset is not!

Besides it is a solid (I lug around a lot, especially on film sets) and I find it comfortable trs, I am wearing glasses and I support it for several hours without worry!

Ngatif point, the coating of the atria and the arch that DGRAD after 2 years of use and I feel that has played a little on the tench I find that it closed a little less.

I have been testing other headphones (Sony MDR7506, Sennheiser HD25 and HD625 ...) and frankly I still attach my M40fs, especially for its price!

For filming, I go on HD25 history rduire congestion but clearly the same when I Rasht mine will compltement death!

The Audio-Techinca ATH-M40FS headphones, in a nutshell, are okay. I say this because when I tried these, I was not a big fan of them at all. However, headphones are often overlooked by beginners, and I can certainly tell you all that my experience of being underwhelmed was less off an objective assessment of the headphones, but more of my being accustomed to a certain standard of headphones. I'm certainly not a top-end headphone person at all, but I do use very nice pairs. I own a pair of Sony MDR7506's, a very well respected pair of headphones.

When I tell you never to mix on the Audio-Technica ATH-M40FS's, it's less of a general "never mix on headphones" ordeal and more of a "since you mix on headphones, these aren't close to the best" kind of deal. I say this because the Audio-Technica ATH-M40FS's are very nice headphones in their own right, and if I owned a pair myself, it would be great to have another sonic character of headphones to reference with and A/B with.

Oddly enough, the general consensus is that these headphones are spectacularly comfortable. I found the opposite. Because I use higher-quality headphones for monitoring and mixing, if I were to own any ATH-M40FS's, it would be for use with performers while they are recording. When I tried them on, standing up, singing into a microphone, they seemed to move around my head a bit too much for my own taste. When I sat down and wore them, I understood what people meant. But when I was tracking, I was just afraid they were going to fly off my head. I wasn't even moving around that much.

However, they sound pretty good considering their price nowadays. I would personally shell out just a bit more for Sony MDR7506's, but I think these can hold their own to them if you know what they're good at.

For 15 days.

Before I had a "AKG 251 Playback" bought in 1986
Unfortunately he got there Laché shortly.

This headphone fits me for my voice recording with condenser microphones
(It does not leave too much to pass the sound to the exterrieur!)
I think he is not evil in enssemble!

The price / quality ratio is pretty average! (79 € without shipping)

Every time I would do more this election, I bought this headset to do everything in my studio cad
registration before the microphone and mixing, (I had read the reviews on "AF") So I used to work with my "akg" (double the price anyway!) for me " ATH is too low, medium lacking slightly, so you will reduce the bass and increase the recording mediums, I speak for those like me who register themselves) I just do not make the final mix with it and anyway I'm not too confience headphones in general for the finale!

The Audio Technica ATH-M40FS are a set of studio headphones that are suitable for uses of all sorts, but I have used them mostly for monitoring during recording and for A-Bing mixes.  Even though they are suitable for almost any kind of use, I believe they are most useful for monitoring while recording as they have a very good sound, but not good enough for mixing.  They are perfect for monitoring because they provide an accurate portrayal of the sound that you are listening to.  The headphones aren't the most comfortable headphones out there because they aren't all that sturdy and tend to fall off of your head if you are moving around.  However, they are adjustable and will fit just about any size head because of that.  The jack on the end of the cable is a 1/4 inch connection and I do not believe that it comes with a converter for 1/8 inch or otherwise.  For a set of headphones, these really do provide a powerful sound and are great for checking mixing just to get a different perspective from what you are normally using.  Even though they are great for checking mixes on, I would never mix on these as I tend to stay away from mixing on headphones in general because they lack the depth that studio monitors offer.  The price of the Audio Technica ATH-M40FS is quite reasonable, even if they aren't the cheapest available option.  The overall look of the headphones is pretty cool as it has a great design and a sleek black design that definitely looks good.  They are a great sounding set of headphones and at this price they are well worth the price.  If you are looking for a reasonably priced set of good sounding studio headphones, the Audio Technica ATH-M40FS are a great choice. 

- For how long have you been using it?
I had these for about 8 or 9 years.

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
That i sold them.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, or i would have got the others.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Ludicrous. Yes, the bad way.

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...
Obviously not.

Why...i hear you say!
These are closed headphones, that's good, they don't leak tooo much.
But they are hot, extremely uncomfortable after a while...(painful).
And they are very bassy. There is strictly no point trying to make anything sound right with these on unless you are totally used to listening to everything on these...
They are neither clear nor detailed enough...quite frankly i went on using them because i had not others. But you can't really do anything with them. They're a reference? Oh yeah? Well so are the 7506's and they're nothing you can do with those either...

They were 750 Francs at the time (£75), ie 115 euros, would i pay that again? No way.

Overpriced and overrated. Money back, please.
