Celebrate 10 Years of Legendary Sound With the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO Limited Edition Headphones
The 2025 limited-edition Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO professional monitor headphones pay tribute to the original all-black M50x design—first released in 2014—while incorporating the elegant artistry of Japanese Enso painting. Each pair features custom engraving on the earcups and headband that mimics both sound waves and the flowing brushstrokes of the traditional Enso circle, symbolizing the cyclical nature of creation and life. Returning to its roots, the ENSO edition reimagines the M50x in its original black finish after a decade of vibrant color variations.
- Limited-edition ENSO design celebrates 10 years of the ATH-M50x
- Custom-engraved earcups and headband inspired by Japanese Enso brushwork and sound wave patterns
- Critically acclaimed studio-quality sound praised by top engineers and reviewers
- Proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare-earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils
- Exceptional clarity across an extended 15 – 28,000 Hz frequency range with deep, accurate bass
- Closed-back, circumaural design for superior sound isolation in loud environments
- 90° swiveling earcups for convenient one-ear monitoring
- Professional-grade earpads and headband for maximum durability and comfort

Beyond its striking aesthetics, the ATH-M50x ENSO retains the same legendary sound quality that has made the M50x an industry standard. Its proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers deliver exceptional clarity, accurate bass, and an extended frequency range, making it a top choice for studio monitoring, DJ use, and personal listening alike. Plush ear pads and a collapsible, closed-back design ensure comfort and isolation during long sessions, while the 90° swiveling earcups allow for easy one-ear monitoring.
The Art of Enso
Painting the Enso circle with black sumi ink is a meditative practice—a single, unbroken brushstroke that embodies creativity, balance, and mindfulness. The ATH-M50x ENSO captures this spirit through its engraved details and minimalist aesthetic, blending timeless Japanese artistry with Audio-Technica’s precision engineering.
Back to Black
Just as the Enso symbolizes continuity, the M50x ENSO brings the iconic headphones full circle, returning to their original black finish after years of limited-edition colors. The result is a perfect fusion of artistry and performance that celebrates both heritage and innovation.
