Audio-Technica ATH-M50X ENSO Closed-Back Studio Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO closed-back studio headphones mark a decade of sound innovation with a 2025 limited-edition release. The ENSO model returns to the original black design, now featuring engraved rings and headband sliders inspired by Japanese sumi ink brush strokes. Each pair has a unique serial number etched into the matte finish, emphasizing individuality in every unit. Inside, the 45 mm drivers offer detailed sound for mixing, tracking or casual listening. The frame is lightweight and the earcups rotate for easy single-ear monitoring. Only 5,000 pairs will be available worldwide, and select buyers may receive a handcrafted furoshiki cloth from Kyoto’s Bamba factory and a custom headphone case, adding a rich sense of tradition to the listening experience.

The ENSO edition combines detailed sound reproduction with visual artistry, offering engraved accents and a numbered finish that sets it apart from mass-produced gear. Those working in the studio or at home benefit from solid isolation and a flexible frame, helping focus on subtle details in a mix or soundtrack. Owning this model means joining a limited group who appreciate craftsmanship and sound quality, making every session more engaging and memorable.
