Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X review

Features

The frequency response of Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X impresses with 5Hz-25KHz ranges. It has a decent Hi-Fi sensitivity of 100 dB. The impedance is 48 dB.

Sound

The brilliant clarity of Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X is impressive with its incredibly broad soundstage and bright imaging that places every sound, voice, and instrument just right, making them sound bright and distinct in harmonious flow with the rest. If you wish to mix , record, or enjoy all the spectre of sounds I would recommend this device without doubts.

Connectivity

Wired connection of the open back headphones is natural for the type for their specific use. The open cups will not allow to use them out so they do not require a wireless option. And 3 m/9.8 ft of cable length allows a pretty well freedom of motion.

Comfort and design

Their light weight of 235 g/8.2 oz feels very comfy on the head and is nice for long use without fatigue. The wired headband is comfy adjusted and large cups sit nice on the ears. I find their circle design not as good as oval, but still nice. They cannot be folded, but I suppose this function is not really required for the type.
