Best headphones for Video Editing.
I also edit on a Mac mini and I use a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones. For critical listening you need a good pair of over-the-ear studio reference monitor phones for accuracy, comfort and passive isolation. What you don't need is active noise cancellation specially in consumer grade head

Whats better for music productions Audio-Technica ath-m50x or sony mdr 7506
I'd actually highly recommend the ATH-M40x headphones. They have a much more even and flat response and are much better for music production. The ATH-M50x's are more for tracking and listening to music as a consumer. I find the Sony MDR-7506's to be harsh and lack low end. The Sony MDR-7506's are te

Being and Audiophile with Tinnitus
Mine are different, as my tinnitus is stress/burnout-related and is always a background screech, I cannot hear it with music playing.What I understood from other people with tinnitus is that headphones are often the best option.

What headphones (no mic)are you using to play in 2026?
AudioTechnica ATH M40xI use the M70x right now, but if you only care about FPS games the M40x is actually easier to hear things with. The M70x sounds amazing, but it has this issue where the headband breaks pretty easily. Mine already snapped, so I cannot really recommend it lol.

Trying to set my gf up for Xmas & don’t know where to start
If you already have a decent laptop and monitors, a Ddj flx4 and some headphones like the Audio Technica ATH-M40x would set her up to start djing!

Studio Headphones Under $200 for YouTube Creator?
Audio Technica ATH-M40x I prefer the 40’s over the 50’s because the M40’s have a flatter frequency response,…..or rather the M50’s have an EQ’d frequency reponse that boosts the highs and lows (too much IMO) Plus, I find the M40’s comfortable

Why is everything so fragile?
I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-M40x's and they've lasted for six years already. The only major issue with them right now is that the leather ear cups are starting to fray, but I can easily get replacements and fix that. My Sony WH-1000XM5 are also holding up well for almost three years of use.

Which headphones should I buy?
I've had a good experience with Audio Technica ATH-M40x from 10 years ago. They have a fairly flat response and full range. I'm not sure if anything has changed in current models. They are around $100.
