Audio-Technica ATH-E40 Reviews

So I purchased these primarily because my last set of ear phones weren't long enough. I can't say I know much about audio, but compared to what I've had previously I'm very satisfied with how these preform. I've been using them on my GoXLR to monitor my audio, and the audio is clear. I could add not only add is the audio clear but I get much better volume out of these compared to some headphones I've used. Oh, right, and they're long enough for my needs, I had bought an extension cable just in case when I purchased these and I haven't had to use it yet. I don't know if I should mention familiarity with the brand name did influence my purchase, Ive always heard good things about them.

Nice fit and sound, questionable building materials.

Of course AT is always building nice quality headphones and microphones, I've got the chance to prove that. I'm an audio engineer and have been using AT products for more than 5 years. The AT 40-50 is one of the best options while recording in studio and owning a pair of ATH m50x has been great for my tracking and mixing. I was really excited when I ordered the ATH-E40 for my live and studio acts because, as a drummer I need to feel free and have exceptional isolation when playing, the ATH-E40 have that and are a great buy, the only problem I could see was the materials they used to build them. Previously I used shure se-215 and the coil was super resistant and good looking, not like the one in E40's, it feels like a regular pair of earphones. The frequency level and sound pressure level is good, nothing special, but great to work with. Hope they last long time with me.
