Audio-Technika ATH-M50x LAB Professional Monitor Headphones

The ATH-M50x LAB Professional Monitor Headphones are a unique fusion of fan creativity and Audio-Technica’s renowned audio engineering. Introduced in 2024, this limited-edition release stems from the innovative "LAB M50x" campaign, where fans worldwide were invited to design their own color schemes for the iconic ATH-M50x series. Through a dedicated website launched in January 2024, participants customized headphone components with matte or metallic finishes, resulting in 14,560 submissions shared widely on social media with the hashtag #MyM50x2024. An expert panel, including the ATH-M50x product manager, selected three finalists, and the winning design by Bolivian DJ Sergio Gamarra earned 3,127 fan votes.

Sergio’s design features a bold palette of blue, orange, and gray. The blue symbolizes confidence and reliability, reflecting the headphones’ trusted performance. Orange captures the vibrant energy and creativity of music, while gray adds a sophisticated, modern elegance. Available in wired (ATH-M50x LAB) and wireless (ATH-M50xBT2 LAB) versions, these headphones deliver exceptional sound clarity, deep bass, and precise audio reproduction, making them ideal for studio monitoring, DJing, and immersive listening. Crafted for comfort and durability, they feature premium materials, cushioned earpads, and a foldable design for portability. Released in limited quantities for 2024, the ATH-M50x LAB is a collector’s item that combines fan-inspired style with professional-grade performance.
