The good: The Audio-Technica ATH-M30 headphones offer good build quality and detailed, natural sound with good bass. They're also very comfortable and a bargain at around $60.
The bad: There's no integrated microphone for making cell phone calls; the extra-long cord makes the headphones less suitable for mobile use; don't fold-up like the ATH-M35; and the cord isn't detachable.
The bottom line: While they're not in the same league as the step-up ATH-M50 headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M30 set costs a lot less and offers impressive performance and decent build quality for the money.

High Fidelity, Low Cost Headphones
by on September 7, 2004
Pros: "Airy yet, accurate" monitor quality headphones. Flat response with no exageration. Crisp highs, non-boomy lows. Low impedance, high volume.
Cons: Slightly tight fit. Cans spring back and "snap" when you take them off. Plastic construction. Plain looking.

Almost Perfect.
by headbang1990 on May 29, 2006
Pros: Very balanced, crisp highs and mids, and very balanced lo-end.
Cons: They feel a bit tight, and can pinch your ears after prolonged use.
Summary: Very balanced, very cheap, it's a bargain of the century for this sound quality, a rival BOSE or Sony would be twice the price.

Superb mixing headphones at a reasonable price
by on September 12, 2004
Pros: High power handling, crisp clear reproduction with no emphasis on bass or treble. Efficient, easily driven by low power amplification.
Cons: Slightly tight fit on headband.

Amazing quality, great pair.
by DnB-DrEaMs on January 17, 2012
Pros: Great upgrade from my Skullcandy Hesh. Nice sounding bass, clear, crisp sound. Haven't quite burned them in yet, but they already sound great.
Cons: A little plain looking, long cord is not good for on the go use.
