Professional Studio Monitor Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-M30x are closed-back over-ear headphones built for accurate monitoring. They use 40 mm drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium voice coils. Tuning emphasises detail and strong mid-range definition. The circumaural design contours around the ears for passive isolation in loud environments.

Suited to field recording and studio mixing

These wired headphones suit engineers tracking, mixing or editing video who need a neutral reference without colouration. The single-side cable exit and collapsible frame aid mobility between locations. Buyers wanting wireless freedom, active noise cancellation or an integrated boom microphone should look elsewhere.

Wired 3.5 mm connection fits standard audio

The 3.5 mm plug connects directly to interfaces, portable recorders or camera audio inputs without adapters. At 0.22 kg the weight is light enough for long sessions. The folding mechanism reduces the footprint in a gear bag. No battery or external power is required for operation.

Questions about this item

What source device do I need to plug the 3.5 mm connector into?

Any device with a standard 3.5 mm headphone output — phone, laptop, audio interface or portable recorder — will drive the 38 ohm load without an extra amplifier.

Will the 40 mm drivers sound balanced when I monitor alongside older studio speakers?

The headphones are tuned for enhanced detail and strong mid-range definition, so they translate well when cross-referencing mixes on legacy near-field monitors.

How can I confirm the 100 dB sensitivity is performing correctly after setup?

Play a calibrated 1 kHz tone at a known level; the output should match the 100 dB SPL per milliwatt rating with clean, undistorted mid-range reproduction.
