Went to nearby store just to tried this headphone. Honestly the sound quality is amazing. Good isolation and have decent bass. Im bass head myself and id recommend people get this if theyre on budget
Based on testing and working with many headphones over the years, imo the M20x are still one of the best values performance to price in a closed-back studio headphone. Glad you are enjoying them! Cheers!
i had these headphones in my hometown, made a few albums with them, later i moved and they stayed there and i lived with more expensive equipment, now back to country and for days i am reading/watching videos to decide what to buy, in time i remembered i had these in closet, by time the pads cracked, now i ordered replacement and i suppose i will be happy with them. thank you mister, i like your videos
I got the wireless version I was going to buy the 30x but went with the 20s as It suits my needs and it can become wired and it being the same price as the 30s made it an easy purchase . I had to replace the trs cable as the one it came with didn't work and I can honestly say I'm impressed with this headphone
Thanks for sharing your take on the 20s. A lot of people believe Audio-Technica made the 20s a bit "too good" for the price, which I am totally fine with... Glad you are enjoying your 20s!
Hello, just discovered your channel, and I must say it is a treasure trove for recording and content creation. I'm not highly knowledgeable in the audiophile world, but I'd like to experience music as the creator intended, to listen to all the little things that often go unnoticed on my neckband. I'm on a tight budget, and I've been looking for something for a bit now. Is there anything in particular you'd recommend? Even some wireless options? Thanks a bunch.
Glad you're enjoying my videos. In a reasonable price range, the open-back Sennheiser HD599SE (wait for them to go on sale around $150) and the closed-back Audio-Technica M40x both provide a natural reproduction of source material. You can step up in price to Senn. HD600/650 or AKG K-702, but the returns are diminishing for general music listening. Hope this helps out!
I'm listening to this with the same headphones. Just changed the earpads to a better grade pad. Cheap and way more comfortable. $3.95 from a Chinese importer. Go figure. Love these cans! Great video.
Hi, I just discovered your channel; you analyse the products in a more technical way than other channels; I am new to the topic and I am gonna buy my first pair; what headphones would you recommend for studio monitoring? (I wanna record my voice). Thanks in advance.
Hi, I 'm glad you enjoyed my review! For monitoring vocals or voiceover in particular, in the sub $100 usd price range I like the Sony MDR 7506, Sennheiser HD280 Pro, and Audio-Technical M20x or M40x. These all have good representation of the midrange frequencies and will help ensure your recordings translate well to other playback devices. I have reviewed all of these options (MDR 7506 coming soon). Hope this helps out!
Glad you enjoyed it! Those are all great choices and I use several of them myself. I like the option to check mixes on a variety of playback devices and I have my favourites for listening, tracking, and mixing. Other than where isolation is required, do you have a preference for open or closed back?
@@askdrtk For play back listening, I prefer open back like the Sennheiser HD650. My open back Beyerdynamic DT1990 is great too and I even use it for movie watching. Depending on the movie recording quality it sounds stunning
1990s for movie watching...I like it! I also prefer open back when isolation isn't an issue. I have a lot of hours on my HD600 and my go to neutral headphones are the semi open back DT880 pro, but I must say the M40x are far too good for a closed back in their price range...I never have them too far away...
Thank you for the review! Would you recommend the M20x for guitar practice and audio mixing? I’m mostly interested in the guitar practice part, since I can’t be too loud where I live. I’d appreciate the help, have a nice day.
Glad to help out! These would be a great choice for guitar practice and some casual mixing. They are not as neutral as some of the more expensive mixing headphone options, but they have good sound isolation and have proven to be durable in studio use.
The Audio Technica M20X cost $50 on average. The Sennheiser 280 pro costs $40 more. Your video on the Behringer BH470 had me change my mind for the M20X. The Sennheiser HD280 pro cost $90 Which headphones in the $100 range would you recommend for music Mixing Quality?
Great review. I think from your samples for the ordinary listener there is a slight lack of air in the treble in music and speech is less sibilant. In the old days you might have chosen these to tame a Decca cartridge. These days many people will find these to be eminently listenable full stop and will never notice or care about the slight sound shaping. (Probably not the first choice for fans of music where the bass is supposed to rattle your teeth).
Would you recommend this M20x over the M30x for my team of video editors? It's worth it the increase of price of the M30x over the M20x? My team only edits video for TH-cam/TikTok, nothing too high end but they are using crap headphones and I want to standarize the production...but I can't overpaid if the M20x are almost the same (my bosses would kill me if I spent too much). Thank you very much
Standardizing headphones across your team is a great way to improve the consistency across your content. For video editing the 20s will get the job done and in many ways are a better choice vs the 30s. The 30s tend to be over boosted in the sibilant frequencies which can lead editors to over adjust resulting in dull sounding audio that lacks clarity. The 20s will likely result in audio that translates better across a wide audience. I would say go with the M20x. Save money and get better results… Hope this helps out!
For the price, they're really not bad at all. I heard them in a music store up against M40 and M50. I thought they sounded better than M40 though M40 rock. Fun headphones but a bit too much low end for reference.
7506 will be more accurate. But the 20X will be "in the ballpark." The 20X will have better isolation. For good isolation, also look at the Sennheiser HD280..
How will it perform against AKG K 92? I am planning to get AKG K 240(not mark 2) for $69, or K92 for $40 or M20x for $52.. I really want to take the K240 after watching your video but it is a bit out of my budget. It will be very helpful if you share some actual test results or at least give your opinion. My first priority is balanced sound quality. Closest to true sound like the k240
Of the three, the K240 Studio has the most natural sound (after a good amount of burn-in time). The mids on the K92 are underemphasized compared to the other two making them sound scooped. I haven’t done frequency analysis on the K92 yet, but the mid scoop is very apparent to my ears. The M20x are impressive at delivering a reasonably balanced sound given their price and many believe Audio-Technica made them a bit too good. Both the M20x and K240 are good choices with the M20x having a slight edge in bass response vs the K240 having a slightly more balanced tone. Based on my tests, the K240 are the most balanced on the three, but the M20x are a great overall value. I hope this helps out!
K240 Studio are the base version. In my testing between the K240 Studio and mkii there is no difference in sound. I made a short about this if you want to hear the comparison. th-cam.com/users/shortsAAymR-24lzI
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed my review! I would recommend the M20x as in addition to being versatile, they have proven to be durable in regular studio use. The HD7, while also a good starter set lack clarity in the midrange which will present challenges for mixing.
If I’m listening for “issues” I like something mid-forward like 7506’s, but I find more naturally voiced headphones help mixes translate well whether we are talking about sub-mixes or a final mix. I use M40x and HD 600 for vocal-heavy projects. For live mixing lead, duet, and background vocals, M40x have not let me down…
M20x will be suitable for mixing vocals only as their dynamic response is quite even across the vocal range. You should be able to create good vocal mixes with the M20x.
Hello. I came across your video and I found it helpful and straightforward. However, I have a bit of a doubt. For the past year I've been using a very cheap pair of headphones for my music production, mainly the mixing aspect, but I think it is time for an upgrade. I am still new to this whole music production thing, so would the M20x be good for me, a beginner, or should I look into other options?
Hello! The M20x are a great affordable set of headphones to get started in music production. They work well for tracking and can be used to get starting with mixing. Moving the budget up a bit, I highly recommend the M40x as they provide a more natural sound and improved comfort for longer listening sessions. For music production, you need to learn the sound of your headphones so your mixes will translate well across a variety of playback devices. You can certainly accomplish this with the M20x to get started, but the more natural tone of the M40x may make things a bit easier.
@@askdrtk Thanks. I don't think I could go to the M40x though, they're ridiculously expensive from where I live. Even the M30x are. So I guess I'll stick with the M20x.
Which would you recommend. The ATH-M20X or the 512 audio academy? The 512's are $50 right now. Ill be using them connected to my vocaster two. Mostly to get the best idea of what my voice sounds like on different mics.
Get 7hz Salnotes Zero iem most neutral and best sounding set M20x sounds garbage thin there's no bass tried 2 units Sounds fine but nothing special there are better iems available at that price tin T3+ is even better
I agree, the 200 pro may have a slight edge in materials. Both lack detail and dynamic response in both bass and upper mid frequencies. They are not for critical listening, but for general listening and tracking they get the job done.
The headphone amplifier in the Solo is capable of driving a number of closed and open-back headphones. If you are recording with a microphone and need to keep the headphone audio isolated, a closed-back design is the way to go. Open-back headphones can offer benefits of improved comfort, stereo image, and soundstage if you are ok with the sound escaping into your space. Some good affordable options for closed back include: M20x, OneOdio Monitor 60, Sony MDR 7506, and Sennheiser HD280 pro. Affordable open-back include: AKG K240 Studio, OneOdio Monitor 80, Philips SHP9500, and Superlux HD681. Hope this helps out!
thank you, i considering to upgrade my ath m20x but i think to gonna save much money for something like dt770 pro x. I only gonna use it to listen music, not to much gaming and playing with my bass guitar. I mexican is hard to learn something in spanish is theres not to much videos
I have had a set in for review for a while (posting soon). The HD681 have deeper bass response vs the M20x. I'll have move detail in the review, but in general bass and mids are quite good while there are a few odd things (frequency spikes) going on the the higher frequencies. The highs are boosted which can make the midrange seem a bit submerged, but I wouldn't say excessive. I will say that for those wanting an open (actually semi-open) back headphone with good bass response at an affordable price, the HD681 are worth considering. Build quality seems lower vs the M20x, but only time will tell on durability. Hope this helps out.
I like the M20x for monitoring, but for production I would go with the K361. The 361 provide an honest rendering of what you are listening to which will help you make good decisions… Cheers.
No mic on these. You can add a ModMic to them or Audio-Technica has just release a new M50X headset which includes a microphone the uses the same capsule as their AT2020 microphone. th-cam.com/users/shorts83y3SS7OQiI
Mixes that sound balanced on the M20x will translate well to other playback devices. They lack enough detail for critical mastering decisions imo, but for a first set I do recommend them.
Thanks for the question! I will be doing a full video explaining binaural microphones at some point, but I will try to give you an idea. To record headphones it is necessary to simulate the environment they are used in. This means a simulated human head with simulated ears. It also means using 2 microphones with as flat as possible frequency response of 20-20000Hz (standard audible range for most people) with one placed appropriately in each ear canal. To accomplish this I built a simulated head with two medical grade "ears" (including ear canals - these are used by medical students for study purposes but work well for this application). I then placed a Sennheiser MK2 microphone capsule in each ear canal. The head itself is coated on the interior with a compound to stop resonance and the head is filled with a mixture of sand and a few other materials to ensure it is of a weight / density are similar to an average person's head. I then conducted numerous tests to ensure I could obtain repeatable results and also validated my build by comparing it to a Neuman KU100 (a pre built version of what I am using that costs $11700) to ensure my measurements were a reasonable representation of the industry standards. While there is no way for you to actually try the headphones on over a video, my goal is for you to hear the difference between the original recordings and those made through the headphones so that you can get an idea of how a particular set of headphones may color the sound (boomy bass, scooped mids, brittle highs, etc). I know this is a bit lengthy, but I hope it helps out!
Hello. I was thinking about buying these and connecting them to a Behinger U22, will it be enough volume or will I have to use an amplifier? (I was going for the m30x but for that price I can buy the m20x + the interface). Thanks in advance.
Heyy! Just discovered ur channel✔️you are awesome! Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Please let me know which headphones should I buy for the production of underground rave progressive house music like hernan cattaneo. Budget isn’t an issue much.
I could compare it with a 5 dollar chinese earphone, mine probably came faulty thats why the sound quality was bad. But I still dont reccommend it because how fragile and light it is. One wrong move and the whole headphone rips to shreds.
Hello, great review, very professional! I do have a question. I'm in progress of buying headphones for my girlfriend. They will be mostly used for listening to music (mostly rock and metal) , watching youtube and some gaming ( mostly indie games with alot of music and not so much sound effects like exposions or gunfire). She like solid sound isolation on headphones. I would be very greatfull for your recomendation. I was thinking between: Sennheiser HD200 Pro ( you reviewed them here th-cam.com/video/4I6IjCP6kzU/w-d-xo.html ) ATH-M20x (from this review) AKG k96
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed my review. Of the three you mentioned, the M20x would be my choice based on sound and isolation (plus watch for Black Friday deals on them). The Sennheiser HD280 Pro would also be a great choice for isolation. I hope this helps out!
Went to nearby store just to tried this headphone. Honestly the sound quality is amazing. Good isolation and have decent bass. Im bass head myself and id recommend people get this if theyre on budget

Which one do you recommend for beginner music production and mixing

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed my review! I would recommend the M20x as in addition to being versatile, they have proven to be durable in regular studio use. The HD7, while also a good starter set lack clarity in the midrange which will present challenges for mixing.

How do you record through a headphone using a mic into a AI?? I'm sorry, I'm a noob and don't understand the concept!

I then placed a Sennheiser MK2 microphone capsule in each ear canal. The head itself is coated on the interior with a compound to stop resonance and the head is filled with a mixture of sand and a few other materials to ensure it is of a weight / density are similar to an average person's head. I then conducted numerous tests to ensure I could obtain repeatable results and also validated my build by comparing it to a Neuman KU100 (a pre built version of what I am using that costs $11700) to ensure my measurements were a reasonable representation of the industry standards.
While there is no way for you to actually try the headphones on over a video, my goal is for you to hear the difference between the original recordings and those made through the headphones so that you can get an idea of how a particular set of headphones may color the sound (boomy bass, scooped mids, brittle highs, etc). I know this is a bit lengthy, but I hope it helps out!
Meanwhile me watching the entire video with m20x
I love when that happens, cheers!
It's 8 years and still running strong. It's like the date you end up marrying 😂
Hello. I was thinking about buying these and connecting them to a Behinger U22, will it be enough volume or will I have to use an amplifier? (I was going for the m30x but for that price I can buy the m20x + the interface). Thanks in advance.
The U22 will have no problem powering either the M20x or M30x to very good listening levels. (M20x and U22 are a great deal.)
Heyy! Just discovered ur channel✔️you are awesome! Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Please let me know which headphones should I buy for the production of underground rave progressive house music like hernan cattaneo. Budget isn’t an issue much.
The worst headphones I've ever tried. It lacks everything from high range to bass. My old Razer Kraken X That costed half as much sounded 10x better.
I could compare it with a 5 dollar chinese earphone, mine probably came faulty thats why the sound quality was bad. But I still dont reccommend it because how fragile and light it is. One wrong move and the whole headphone rips to shreds.
@@exodus7965 do you recommend the m50x?
NOPE!!!
Hello, great review, very professional!
I do have a question. I'm in progress of buying headphones for my girlfriend. They will be mostly used for listening to music (mostly rock and metal) , watching youtube and some gaming ( mostly indie games with alot of music and not so much sound effects like exposions or gunfire). She like solid sound isolation on headphones. I would be very greatfull for your recomendation.
I was thinking between:
Sennheiser HD200 Pro ( you reviewed them here th-cam.com/video/4I6IjCP6kzU/w-d-xo.html )
ATH-M20x (from this review)
AKG k96
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed my review. Of the three you mentioned, the M20x would be my choice based on sound and isolation (plus watch for Black Friday deals on them). The Sennheiser HD280 Pro would also be a great choice for isolation. I hope this helps out!
