Audio-Technica ATH-M20XWH Professional Closed-Back Dynamic Monitor Headphones

The ATH-M20x is the entry point to Audio-Technica's M-Series monitor line, with more than two million pairs sold worldwide. This white version adds a finish option for people matching gear to a studio or desk setup.

The 40 mm drivers use rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils, tuned for solid low-frequency reproduction without losing the midrange definition that recording and mixing work depends on. Frequency response runs 15-20,000 Hz with 47 ohm impedance and 96 dB sensitivity, so they reach level from an interface headphone output or a mixer without an external amp.

The circumaural design contours around the ear rather than pressing on it, which does two things: it isolates against outside noise, and it stays comfortable through a long session. The build is light and ergonomic, and the ear and head pads use materials chosen for durability under daily studio use.

A single-sided cable exit keeps the 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) straight cable out of the way, one less thing catching on a chair arm or a desk edge. That length gives you room to move around a control room or a tracking space without unplugging.

Use them for recording, monitoring, mixing, or everyday listening. A 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) snap-on adapter is included for studio gear.
