CRAZY BRIGHT!!! for my taste

really wonderful product, the best cheap headphone I ever had, has supreme sound, flat and nice, but I think the highs should be adjustable through like a program if it got one

Good sound quality for the money

The sound quality of these headphones punches well above it's weight. The build quality isn't the greatest, which is to be expected at this price point. But they're also lightweight and comfortable.

I'm sincerely surprised beyond belief, !

Surprised beyond belief. I bought these around a year ago and was not that impressed. Then after using them for a couple of months, they started sounding better and better. Now I'm absolutely in love with the sound quality. I guess it takes them a little while to break in. So if your a patient person, they will come around. Crystal clear highs, great mids and bass. Also I can't forget to mention how comfortable they are. The M-20s are worth every penny. Love them.

Great for home studio

These headphones are great for monitoring recording - zero colouration of the tone. (I have seen reviews that say high frequencies are not as flat, but I could not detect that.) The extra long cable is perfect...let's me move around the room a bit. After two hours, the padded ear cups no longer seem padded. I also have ATH-50s, which have a more comfortable fit.

Great head phones for price

It's not a bad set of head phones for the price. It could use a bit more power to the head phones. Seems slightly weaker than my old set, but clarity is good. They are quite comfortable.

Excellent Audio Product

I started into this world of hearing good quality audio. Me as an entry-level had tried different expensive(up to $700) and cheap headphones but after trying this it did surprise me.

Nice solid headphones w/good sound.

I Bought these headphones for my home studio because the headphones I was using previously couldn't register the lower decibel sounds like bass and those low kicks and booms very well.These headphones give them basslines those booms and slaps I was missing and they are closed back so the mics won't pick up the mix while recording.They are a little tight on my head (maybe I just have a big melon! But for the most part I am pleased with this purchase I have used Audio-Technica products for other applications like microphones and Balanced XLR cables and have always had good results. I would recommend these and Dell seems to have them cheaper than other websites.

Another fine Adorama product!

Excellent audio headphones - very comfortable, with a fairly long cord. They also come with an adapter, so you can plug them into your receiver, or into something like a portable CD player.

Quality Bargain

Audio Technica M20X befall the little brother of their M series flagship headphone ATM50X. Do not get fooled by its inexpensive price. The build quality is on par with their expensive headphones. M20X is on top of that a professional studio headphone that delivers the true or rather raw audio provided by your sound drivers.

Best Headphones on the market

I use these for gaming because I saw a lot of other people using studio headphones for gaming and its a GREAT investment. I'll be using audio technica products for a long time from now on because they are so amazing and affordable. USE THESE FOR GAMING. Gaming headphones are a waste of your time and money.

Great for your budget.

These are great, I use them for sound design, while I edit videos, make beats or just listen to some music. They’re comfortable and have great sound quality. Definitely don’t regret buying these at all. Audio Technica doesn’t fail to produce great quality tools for sound lovers.

Sound & Snug

Sound is great but a bit "deeper" than Sony MDR-7506. Also a lot tighter fit so maybe not as comfortable wearing for long periods unless you have a smaller head

good headphones for a budget.

i like these headphones, i was looking for a good pair at a pretty cheap price point. these fit the bill and exceeded my expectations. the sound is good, fully closed back, and a long cable. my one complaint is the ear cups are leather, i find that velour or felt is more comfortable and doesn’t make me sweat like the leather. that’s mostly a personal thing though. they’re also not quite as deep as they could be. i would definitely not hesitate to recommend these to someone on a budget that needs a good pair of headphones.
