"A-T has raised the bar once again, this time with the new M50 headphones, and this time they've raised it quite a bit. Already these phones are by far the favorite in our studio."

George Massenburg — GRAMMY®-winning engineer & producer

"Artists who have for years had to tolerate low-quality headphones for high-volume use simply don’t have to compromise anymore. These are fantastic-sounding headphones, period. There just isn’t anything better you can do for your artist than to give them a pair of these.”

Frank Filipetti — GRAMMY®-winning mixer and producer

“I tried these phones on a few major artists and they all said, ‘WOW these are great.’ We use these phones on all our vocalists.”

Al Schmitt — GRAMMY®-winning recording engineer and producer

"The M50's seem to be winning hands-down. Everyone that's heard them won't give them back."
