Our take on the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x

The Audio-Technica ATH-M40x is a closed circumaural monitor headphone with no mic, suited to streamers who monitor and use a separate mic. At a tracked $109 it sits at the top of its $87.20 to $109 range across 19 points since June 1, 2026, so a sale is worth a wait.

It has 40mm drivers tuned flat, 90 degree swiveling earcups and a collapsible frame. The cable is detachable, with a coiled and a straight option. Impedance is 35 ohms. It weighs 0.24 kilograms. Retailer ratings average 4.6 across 16,987.

Pros
  • Tuned flat for monitoring
  • Swiveling earcups for one-ear checks
  • Detachable cable, coiled or straight
Cons
  • Tracked $22 above its recent low
  • No mic, so you need a separate one
