Full Details
Inspired by Japanese Paintings, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO Headphones Help Bring Art to Life: Pro-Studio Model Features Collapsible Design and Special Engravings
Informed by Japanese paintings that see artists creating a circle with one circular motion to represent the cyclical nature of life, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO headphones celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of the original ATH-M50x.
Appointed with engravings on the rings and headband sliders that mirror the brush strokes of sumi ink used in Enso art, and distinguished with an engraved serial number, these pro-studio-monitor-style ‘phones leverage 45mm large-aperture divers with copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils and a circumaural design to provide excellent sound isolation, extended responsiveness, and deep bass.
Limited to just 300 pairs in the U.S.A., ATH-M50x ENSO further benefits from portable closed-back architecture that lets you take it on the go. Vocals, instruments, and atmospherics are delivered accurately and clearly, and you’ll listen for hours thanks to the comfort involved. The plush earcups swivel 90 degrees, allowing for one-ear monitoring, and the earpads and headband both feature high-end material engineered for durability.
Sold with three detachable cables, ATH-M50x ENSO is a fine choice for studio use, DJ monitoring, and personal listening — or, all three. Give us a ring at 312-433-0200 with any questions.
