According to our headphones expert
The Audio-Technica ATH-M40X are headphones suitable for in the studio and for DJs. The 40mm drivers produce a flat and natural sound. Thanks to the 90-degree rotatable ear cups, you can easily listen to music with 1 ear while you monitor or spin. The over-ear ear cups sit comfortably and don't leak sound. This also blocks ambient noise. In addition to a regular cable, you also receive a coil cable with the headphones. The coil cable provides freedom of movement without a long cable dragging on the ground. The headphones are foldable and come with a pouch and 6.3mm adapter.

The m40x delivers great sound for a good price. I mainly use it for listening to music on the train, and in that situation it closes out background noise well because of the closed back design.
I do recommend getting bigger ear pads if you want to wear it for a longer period of time. I myself ordered the brainwavz hm5 leather pads at German webshop headsound. This makes it a lot more expensive, but the headphones are super comfortable.

Bought these headphones because I wanted something for both making music in my dorm room and working at school. It could cost a bit, but also not too expensive given my current situation.
I came across these headphones and read rave reviews about them. I had to test that myself. After a very fast processing and delivery, I received them within a day and I could listen, and what a party that is.
If you are used to el cheapo earplugs or headphones, a whole new world opens up for you. Songs sound different, much more complete than before and I always get the urge to really sit down for them. It was a real pleasure, although the bass was a little too present
Fortunately for my studies, but unfortunately for my ears, sitting down is not doing it for long, uninterrupted periods. The standard ear cushions are really tight (I do have a huge head and big ears) and after an hour of listening I had had enough and had to take off the headphones.
Fortunately, there is also something that can be done about this! The ear pads are replaceable with those of other headphone makers. I myself have put a set of Brainwavz HM5 cushions on it. As a result, I can actually listen for hours on end and I don't have to worry about my studies anymore. Also, the bass is now exactly how I want it. I think I will spend many more hours listening to my favorite music with these fantastic headphones

After a lot of searching, I finally ended up with the M40X as the best choice for my budget. The sound you get is beautiful. Please note: you hear the music as it is intended. If there is no strong bass in the music, this will not be reflected in the headphones, as happens in Beats, for example. The quality of the materials is also very good. The headphones feel sturdy and give the impression that the choices have been well thought out. The only downside for me is that the headphones are a bit tight, this loosens itself or after a few hours of wearing.
