This headphones are excellent 2 years later and still going strong. I can confirm that for the price you get higher quality on sound and overall feeling of comfort, things that I was expecting when purchase was made. I was debating if getting cable or Bluetooth headphones and I didn't regret getting cable with this set for 2 reasons. I know cable will never failed me on connectivity and won't need to charge set at anytime for use. Feels right.

Ok, lets start - this review is purely based on audio and built quality. If you are about fashion and fancy names, than look elsewhere.Last 15 days I was camping in MediaMarkt and Saturn (Deutschland) with one mission only - to decide which headphones to buy.My budget what 300 euros. I have long experience with professional audio equipment, but very low or zero about headphones for listening and enjoying music.I own Bose QC 15 and I like them very much, until today.Music I have used for testing was various - from heavy bass based house, rock, vocal, live concerts, jazz, etc ... you name it, I tried it all really, and mostly from mobile devices - Samsung S4, LG Nexus 4, BlackBerry Bold 9770, Apple Shuffle and Nano.Also, I was using devices in the store, to compare it. All music whas in mp3 format, 320 kbps, ripped from original CD's, audio quality aint something amazing, but still good.I've definitely learned one thing - in a world of a high quality headphones, you REALLY REALLY DO NOT get what you paid for.I was amazed how expensive h.phones can have poor sound. Ofc, at the end, it all comes Individually what kind of sound you like.I have looked all the possible reviews, tests, advice's by professional audio testers, and so on. It can help, but also can be confusing sometimes.Simple - Audio Technica M40X simply and easily outperformed 90% of the headphones in these stores. Remaining 10% are debatable, and questionable. I am talking about balanced and neutral sound, and they are all about balance, with a very, very balanced price, if not damn cheap for what you get.Many h.phones are designed with lower impedance so mobile devices can run them easily, with louder sound. Majority have tweaked sound, for commercial, every day use. Accent on a heavier and punchier bass is everywhere, and on most of the models I've tried.So you must be clear with yourself - what you like and want, what kind of music you listen mostly, mobility, quality, etc ...Atm, I am testing them with "Greyhound" by Swedish House Mafia = bass is very, very good, deep, precise, and punchy. Almost perfect, exactly the way I like. Trebles are beautiful - crisp and crystal clear, middles and lows are marginally a little bit lower but mostly because I am trying to be very critical with them. Vocals are amazing, acoustic guitar and jazz sounds simply - brilliant. Some things with my Bose QC 15 are definitely can not be heard without amplifier and higher volume.While we are talking about Bose, I have tried them all - QC 25 sounded very nice, but bass was over-dominating the whole sound experience and AT 40x had crispier, clearer sound stage. Active noise canceling is where Bose shines, but I've never liked that technology, I did always felt some sort of claustrophobic having them over my head.At the end, my narrow choice was Sennheiser Momentum on ear. They are on special price at 139 euros in Saturn, and I have to admit I was very close to buy them. They look beautiful and sound was really classy. Bass was all over you, but very well controlled and balanced and the whole sound stage were impressive. More I was listening, I was getting more in love with them. But somehow M40X sounded the way I like more, plus Momentum is on ear headphones, and comfort was my main concern. They were very comfortable but still I started to feel some pressure over my ears after less than hour. But they sounded damn good.M40X build quality is very solid, I have seen many models with double the price tag and they did not have this quality. They are built to last, by all means. Comfort is where Audio Technica have improved a lot on all "X" models and they are light and feel great. Included cables looks like they are literally indestructible - top quality. I was wearing them for over 5 hours and still enjoying.At the end, and in my humble opinion I got this experience:Audio Technica m50x - big brother, a bit pricier, have overall better sound with a little bit heavier bass, but still M40X have more neutral, better sound (at least to me)Sennheiser HD 518 = good, but not that good, same price range so no reason at all to buy themSennheiser HD 558 = very good, overall experience is great, but M40X outperformed them, especially on highes.Sennheiser Momemtum over ear = hefty price tag, but I really could not find how and where they are better. More I was listening, I got more determined to avoid them. Your call, but price versus quality ratio is not justified by all means, differences between them and M40X were marginal.Sennheiser Momentum on ear = my next favorite. Deep, heavy, beautifully funny bass with great overall sound stage. Cool look.Beats = Avoid, avoid, avoid. Please, do yourself a favor and save money, all of them are all about bass, bass, bass and after 2 minutes you felt like your brain will explode .... sound stage was poor, overall experience disappointing. Highly not-recommended.Bose = sorry to all Bose lovers but except noise canceling (where Bose is the champion) I did not hear a single model that have sounded better. I really tried and even own QC 15, but M40X was a clear winner, and way cheaper. QC25 was really good.Sony did not have anything serious there to match M40X. I have used before 7560 and M40x are better.Philips comes with fashion, but Fidelio X1 comes also with ridiculous price. Although performance were really good, but again we are talking here about small differences, very small.B & W P3 = very, very good headphones. Was a pure pleasure listening them, overall great performance but they come with double the price. Best portable headphones here, and they look amazing, but very pricey.There are infinite numbers of headphones models there but I was focusing mostly on what was recommended by users and experts. Many recommended models where not available in these stores, but I had pretty wide selection and some of the top and best sellers where there.So, lets try to cut the story here with the conclusion: Audio Technica ATH-M40X are probably the mostly overlooked headphones on the market due to big and very popular brother m50x.Overall great sound stage, neutral, amazingly balanced and warm deep sound with strong, precise and controlled bass makes these headphones simply a best buy in this price range. They have no competition at all in this price category - period.Whatsoever, many models that cost twice as much, or even more were not able to outperformed them.And when it comes to bass, here you get clear, beautifully precise and strong Muhamed Ali punches, compare to raw, brutal, wild and uncontrolled Mike Tyson type on the most of the models I've tried.Highly, highly recommended.Pros:- beautiful, neutral, very well balanced overall sound experience. Bass lovers - they are bassy to me, but to some folks they are flat - can be run with ease on mobile devices on pretty high volume due to good impedance (35 ohms)- top quality build, very durable- outstanding comfort, they were comfortable over extended period of use (5 + hours)- supplied cables seems impossible to break- circumaural design contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments (and they do pretty well here)- collapsible for space-saving portability- look nice, very niceCons:- they are collapsible and even comes with a travel pouch, but they are quite big headphones. Not travel friendly.- unfortunately, they do not come with 1.2 m cable like a big brother m50x, so you have to wear 3 meters one with you. Lame, but lower price must be justified somehow.

Mein Sohn ist sehr zufrieden mit dem Kopfhörer, Preis und Lieferung ist sehr gut

I use mine for music and gaming. I enjoy them more than my Sennheiser 558s.

I like these Reflector!they are good , the small if you do not have enough space and the big reflects a lot of good light outdoors.

I'm not an audiophile or an expert on sound, but I love music. I bought these headphones to use in transcription work I do. Of course I had to try them out with music first. I've listened to two songs I chose for the layers of instrumentals and vocals they have, Laundry Room by Avett Brothers and Where is My Mind by Trampled by Turtles, and the experience literally brought tears to my eyes, absolutely amazing sound. The only con is that now I won't want to listen to audio files to transcribe, I'll spend every waking minute enjoying music. :-) I'll update if I get around to transcribing something and let you know how these headphones work for that!

This movie is hilarious. My kid, 4 year old girl, wants to constantly watch it. And I do not mind. It is nonstop funny.

Now I can see my music at night. Clip works great on my music stand.
