This deal is music to our ears, because Audio-Technica Professional Monitor Headphones are the model music engineers, gamers, and DJs use, but they’re also perfectly suited for everyday use, whether working on a computer or streaming music on your smartphone. They deliver peerless clarity, an extended frequency range, and some serious bass.

Once you switch to a pair of headphones this high-quality, there’s no turning back. Sound will come through with accuracy like you’ve never heard before, and any background noise—even in the busiest of spaces—will be completely drowned out by the device’s incredible sound-isolation design that contours around your ears.

And thanks to professional-grade earpad and headband materials, you can wear this set comfortably for hours on end—and expect it to hold up beautifully for years on end.

“Oh my God. I expected these to be good,” wrote one wowed reviewer. “I tell you what, though. I can sure as hell tell the difference between these and my Sol Republic V8 headphones I got a few years ago... I literally don't think I can listen to anything else now if I want to listen to music. This is absurd. It's amazing. Do yourself a favor and add this to your cart.”

Audio-Technica Professional Monitor Headphones have 90-degree swiveling earcups, so if you need to listen to the outside world for a moment, just give them a twist. You’ll look great while you’re doing it, too—these headphones come in a cool gun metal finish we love.

“If you're [an] audiophile like me, but do not have the money to spend ludicrous amounts of it for headphones...These are the headphones for you,” wrote one pro shopper. “BUT, with that being said, do not think the price compromises the quality of these headphones. The clarity of these headphones is perfect for mixing music or just relaxing at home jamming...Honestly, these headphones are like having studio monitors on your ears so if that doesn't say anything [then] I don't know what will. Just trust me and the thousands of other reviews on here.”
