Audio-Technica has released a new take on its classic studio headphones with the ATH-M50x ENSO edition. This version draws from Japanese design traditions, featuring engraved details inspired by the Enso circle, a symbol of simplicity, balance, and continuity. It also brings back the original M50x’s all-black look after several colorful limited editions over the years.

Each pair of ATH-M50x ENSO headphones features detailed engravings on the earcups and headband that reflect the motion of sound waves and the brushwork seen in traditional Japanese ink art. While the exterior design has been refreshed, the sound remains the same. Audio-Technica has kept the trusted 45 mm large-aperture drivers, copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils, and soft, isolating ear pads that give the M50x its clear, powerful sound with deep and accurate bass. The earcups swivel 90 degrees for single-ear monitoring and can fold up for easy travel.

Only 5,000 units of the ATH-M50x ENSO will be available worldwide, each with its own serial number. In addition, 500 random buyers will find a special postcard inside the box that can be redeemed for an exclusive ENSO accessories kit, which includes a matching headphone stand and carry case.

The headphones come with a protective pouch, a 6.3 mm screw-on adapter, and three detachable cables: a 1.2–3.0 m coiled cable, a 3.0 m straight cable, and a 1.2 m straight cable.
