Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ATH-M20x have a detachable cable?
No, the ATH-M20x has an attached 3.0 metre cable with a single-side exit that is not detachable. If you want a detachable cable, the higher M-Series models such as the ATH-M40x and ATH-M50x offer that feature.
What connector does the ATH-M20x use and will it work with my phone or interface?
The ATH-M20x terminates in a 3.5mm plug, so it works directly with phones, laptops, and soundcards. A 6.3mm (1/4 inch) screw-on adapter is included for connecting to audio interfaces, mixers, and receivers.
Is the ATH-M20x good for mixing and studio use?
Yes, the ATH-M20x is designed for tracking, monitoring, and mixing, with a relatively flat, balanced response that makes it popular with beginners and home studios. Its closed-back design isolates outside sound and reduces bleed during recording.
What is the difference between the ATH-M20x and the M30x, M40x, and M50x?
The ATH-M20x is the entry model in the M-Series with an attached cable, while the M30x, M40x, and M50x step up in sound refinement, materials, and features such as detachable cables and wider swivel. Choose the M20x for the best value entry point and the higher models for extra features.
