The Audio Technica ATH-M50x and Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X are wired over-ear studio headphones designed for recording, monitoring and serious listening. Both feature 45 mm drivers and sound-isolating circumaural designs, but they differ in frequency response, cable configuration and portability. The ATH-M50x offers a 15Hz–28kHz frequency range, three detachable cable options and foldable construction, making it versatile for studio work and DJ monitoring. The DT 770 PRO X extends the stated frequency range to 5Hz–40kHz and features a durable spring-steel headband, replaceable pads and a lockable detachable cable. Your choice depends on workflow, comfort and listening preferences.

Verdict

The Audio Technica ATH-M50x is the better choice for DJs, audio enthusiasts and users who value foldable portability and multiple cable options. Its swiveling earcups also make one-ear monitoring convenient. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X is better suited to extended recording and monitoring sessions, thanks to its replaceable pads, robust headband and comfortable over-ear design. Its wider stated frequency response is a specification advantage, but it does not automatically guarantee better sound quality. For versatile studio use, the ATH-M50x wins overall, while the DT 770 PRO X is a strong alternative for long sessions.

Both are wired, over-ear headphones that can work for gaming with a compatible device. The ATH-M50x offers swiveling earcups and versatile cable options, while the DT 770 PRO X provides a durable build.
