Like 'em alot!.......2007-12-23
The quality of these headphones blew me away. They are comfortable, don't squeeze at all, the single cord is nice, lots of padding on the ear cups and head band does its job. The sound quality is superb, no buzz or hum in the background at all, music is reproduced as wonderfully as advertised. The headphones block out most background noise without putting pressure on you ears or head. These headphones are set up with an 1/8" stereo jack, so get a good quality adapter if you have a music player that is newer than 1981. I've been using these headphones alot for the past month since I got them...they seem to be holding up perfectly, nothing is showing wear, sound quality is still great. Buy and be happy!
Excellent sound for an excellent value.......2007-12-04
These are the best headphones I've ever owned. The quality of sound is amazing. It's like hearing my music for the first time. I couldn't be happier with these headphones. The chord is really long so you can move around quite a bit while listening to your music. I also like the over-ear style because it blocks out a lot of noise so you can listen on a lower volume and not miss out on all the musical details. I looked at a lot of noise-canceling headphones, but they all seem to hiss when you turn the noise-canceling feature on, which is really annoying. The style of these headphones muffles a lot of outside noise, so you focus on the crispness of the sound. I was really blown away when I first put these on and can't say enough good about these headphones. If you plan on listening to music on a computer at work (like I do), then you'll need to get a 1/4" to 1/8" audio converter for the plug (a gold plated one runs about $5 at Radio Shack).
Nothing short of WOW!.......2007-11-27
First things first. These are not for kids who wanna listen to all their hardcore screamo death metal at earsplitting volumes. These are not for people who have a 1000 watt sub in their car. These are not for people who take music casually.
These are for recording.
I don't claim to be an expert on what good headphones sound like. I've never had the money to try some 500 dollar audiophile phones. I am a very active musician; I run a studio in my bedroom and my bands practice room. I've been recording in my bedroom for about four years. I use Adobe Audition 2 as my main recording software.
The Audio-Technica ATH M40fs headphones are THE BEST headphones I have ever heard. I'm sure they're not the best in the world. They're just the best I've used, and I'm pretty sure they're the best for the price.
With these headphones I can hear subtleties and nuances that I never believed possible. I can hear breath noise on the flute intro to Yanni's Deliverance. I can hear the bass on Dreamgirl by Dave Matthews without it beng muddy. I can hear the rumbling lows on the intro to The Battle from the Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack. These headphones are not bassy, nor are they harsh on the mids, they're not overly trebly either. They are very flat as far as I can tell. I love that I can hear all the different parts to music without any of them being over-emphasized.
The downfall to these phones is that they let you hear ALL of the flaws in your own music; it's kind of depressing. If you want to sound like an amazing pro musician just by buying a new pair of headphones...look elsewhere, if you want to hear your mistakes so you can improve, and don't wanna spend a month's paycheck...then these are for you.
The thing that mainly attracted me to these headphones was the frequency range which was wider than the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's that I originally wanted. On top of that, the price was 40 dollars lower; hard to pass up.
Another feature that makes these worth your while is the Field Replaceable parts. I don't know about you, but I don't have the money to buy a new set of headphones if my cable wears out.
These have pretty good isolation. They won't block as much sound as earplugs but they block enough to keep your sound pretty pure.
If you want to hear your music in a way that you never have then buy these headphones.
Excellent choice for recording and general use.......2007-09-21
Having used many brands and types of headphones over the years in recording studio settings for many years, I was disatisified many times by the performance of many 'cans.' These AT's fit the bill perfectly for my studio as well as home needs: excellent low-end response [what's usually lacking], good design, good price. Highly recommended.
Excellent Monitor Phones for Recording/Mixing.......2007-09-11
I bought these to use with my new Alesis Guitarist Playmate and they are great. They are light and fit the head perfectly. They are very comfortable and can be worn for hours while recording or mixing. The sound is very neutral - you hear what you recorded. They have a very broad freq response. At the price, it would be hard to find a better headphone for recording or studio work where pure reproduction is required.
Average customer rating:
- Should have bought the Sony's
- Amazing!
- sorry , not good enough
- These 'phones have an uncontrollable desire to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
- Excellent quality for a little price

Superior components provide very high SPL capabilities while maintaining exceptional clarity of sound.

Should have bought the Sony's.......2007-05-12
These headphones are not the greatest for patching or recording. It's just not an accurate mix. I use them with my synthesizer, but I always have to check the balance on a amp - and it's usually way off. They're fine for listening to music, but I prefer lighter weight headphones or ear buds for that.
Amazing!.......2006-12-20
Finally headphones that pump out the sound I want, with the comfort I want, at a price I can afford!
You just can't go wrong with a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs's on your ears!
If you like balanced high quality sound that exploits every pitch and accentuates every tone, you can get it right here. If you want headphones that don't hurt your head, don't clamp your ears, and provide good isolation, hey! The ATH-M40fs is your baby!
The build quality is fantastic, complete over the ear circumaural design, very professional in style and durability.
I searched all over to find an amazing pair of headphones that wouldn't rip a hole in my pocket, and I found them.
I am extremely happy I chose these. I was on the skeptical side. I almost bought higher priced Sennheisers, but opted not to due to comfort issues and cheap headband construction.
I was worried about sound quality; as I like to hear every vocal and instrument the way it was intended. For anyone who is looking to listen to music at a higher level with a price suitable for the everyday person. These headphones do justice to the Audio-Technica brand!
I use them for listening to all my music and games; high fidelity classical recordings, popular music (Jewel's intricate voice sounds so good with these strapped to your head), occasional video games (I play adventure, mystery, and RPG's).
The bass is accurate, not overdone and not enhanced. Balanced sound throughout. Great for really getting into the music.
Are these the headphones you've always been looking for but thought they didn't exist? Yes, yes they are!
Are they the best headphone ever made? Well, I wouldn't say that. I've never listed to $150.00+ headphones before. So I am sure there are headphones out there that will make these sound lamer than scary movie 3. But I couldn't imagine needing to. Some headphones can cost over $900! I'm not a recording artist, I don't use these to monitor music. And I don't work as a audio engineer. But I am very picky about, well, almost everything! I am an artist of the visual kind. And these headphone produce high enough audio fidelity for most anyone who can appreciate well recorded audio. I do require a high level of quality, I am very sensitive to subtle details in sound. If there is distortion or a small hiss is my audio equipment, I can hear it.
When comparing headphones and speakers, I can clearly hear pitch subtlties, faded or more pronounced background instruments, and other differences.
Besides, even a farmer in good ol' Georgia can appreciate, and have an ear for good audio fidelity.
For me, these headphones are great. They produce sound in a highly respectable manner at the price I am willing to spend. And thats what counts to most people.
Audio-Technica also makes a variant model of these, ATH-D40fs with enhanced bass. I feel some may prefer them to these and find them more suitable for video games, watching certain movies, and those who like that extra thump.
They also make much higher priced headphones for anyone requiring more fidelity. After listening to these I think they are a very viable brand, completely on level with competing against the well known brands of Sennheiser, Koss, bose, Beryldynamic, and Grado.

sorry , not good enough.......2006-04-19
sorry. thought they knew what a monitor headphone was.
audio technica, only gives u good monitor types
IF you give them over usd 200 net.
sad. its got decent character,
perhaps, somewhere in middle
of the huge usd 50 -120 dollars group....
but
NOT a monitor type, not accurate enough...
too much unrealistic bass, and too muffled.
if you actualy use this to monitor recordings
you will be re doing it all over again...
dont bother with it please.
i would request people not to say :
the best i have ever used.
think about it.
( how the heck do we know how many hundreds
you hve listened to ? ) we dont have your reference
point.
too bad. tho...
thought this would be a decent one to work with.
tks

These 'phones have an uncontrollable desire to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. .......2006-02-12
If you want the real "High Fidelity" headphones you should buy this one.
No doubt why this headphones become an industrial standard around the world.
A real competitor of the formidable "Sony MDR 7506 Studio Monitor".
Since I have quoted from a review by "Hifi Choice" for the title then I would like to quote more for the conclusion.
" A pair of good honest headphones, which refuse to add anything to the original recording, yet take nothing away. If you like your music to have that raw, 'straight out of the studio' edge then these headphones are a must. A rockin' Recommended. "
Excellent quality for a little price.......2005-11-03
I purchased my M40fs with a raised eyebrow for about $90, at the behest of my Guitar Center guru who told me nearly every employee in the westside Cleveland store owns a pair. I lived in Stow, OH at the time and got the due warm fuzzy from purchasing a decent set of studio phones made by a company that had a facility literally 1.2 miles from my flat.
Never have I been happier with taking somebody's word on the general utility of a piece of gear or with supporting a "local" company. The response and clarity is fabulous through the whole spectrum, true flat sound. I have picked up artifacts with these phones that other phones completely missed. Yes, using them for portable sound means a clunky adaptor, but 1/4" is worth it!
As to the comfort, I find them extremely comfortable. The ear padding is cushy and the headband has much thicker padding than some other studio phones I have used. They are a bit tight out of the box, but like any good phones, the headband can be stretched or squeezed a rather goodly bit without any damage. The swivels are nice and loose. If you wear glasses and intend to use these for several hours on end, just like with any other phones -- you WILL want to play with the headband tension a bit to find the right balance of snug enough to close but not tight.
I work on ambient, space, drone, found sound, and field collage, so falling asleep while listening to playbacks is not even vaguely difficult. I freely admit to having fallen asleep wearing these phones several times (including once while recording on my Korg MS2000 at 2am). Even when I have slept several hours in my chair -- no shift and no headache either, more like a *cradle* effect. No, I don't recommend this, but it won't hurt like falling asleep in other phones can. As long as you don't literally throw your phones around, these will last a very long time!
