The ATH-M30x features 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for quality sound reproduction at a competitive price point.

The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned for increased detailed and enhanced midrange definition. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 22 kHz, the ATH-M30x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.

The ATH-M30x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.

Equipped with 15° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M30x ensures a great fit. The earcups fold up to meet the headband, saving space during storage. A carrying pouch is supplied for protection and convenience while transporting the headphones.

Keeping it simple and clean, the ATH-M30x incorporates an attached 9.8' cable that exits from the left side. This increases convenience and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone.

The attached cable is terminated with a gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A secure 1/4" screw-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers. Built-in strain relief on the 3.5mm mini plug reduces the likelihood of damaging the connection if the cable is pulled.

Thanks to the high-quality materials used in the ATH-M30x, the headphones balance comfort and strength while delivering enhanced audio and effective isolation.
