Will these ath-m30x headphones work on a tablet?
Yes, these headphones can easily be powered by any smartphone or tablet. I use them on a laptop,
smartphone and tablet and the audio level is ideal at a little under half volume. At three-quarters volume, it’s a
little unbearable.
Apparently, these are made for recording and sound monitoring, are they good for listening to music in
general?
They’re fantastic. I use them to watch movies on my laptop and listen to music on my iPod. The sound is so
clear. They’re worth all I paid for them. Better than some of the more expensive brands.
What is the differences between the M30x and the original M30? I’m trying to decide which pair to buy,
but if the design is the only difference I’d probably like to save a little money and go with the M30s.
Like the other answer stated, complete overhaul in design. Definitely, a better sound, though both headphones
will have great sound quality.
Do these have a volume control on the cord, or are they dependent on the volume control of the device
they’re plugged into?
There is no volume control on the cord. You have to use the volume control on the device that they are plugged
into.
Would these headphones be a good match for listening to Classical Music as well as most 60-70’s
Rock? TK
I have listened to both on these headphones, and I believe the answer is yes. Mid-range is very good and they
also carry enough bass and high tones for individual instruments to be heard well.
Is the headband expandable?
The earcups slide in and out of the headband, so yes, it is.
I have a Dell laptop computer. Will these work with it? I like that they are over the years and have a long
cord.
Yes, they will work with any computer.
How is the mic? I’m trying to record if this product record well?
The microphone is serviceable, it provides somewhat clear audio, best if at mid-chest level. The audio is quite
soft and has a significant amount of background noise in the higher big-name standards. I would suggest
keeping the audio quality below Studio Level. Beware the microphone cable is very thin and easily breakable,
with little effort. Do not put too much strain on it. If you have the money to spend, I would suggest the Mod Mic.
Do they have active noise cancellation?
No, but these have decent noise isolation. I decided not to get noise-canceling technology because I read that
it uses a lot more battery life of the device to which you are listening, e.g., laptop, iPod. Plus, I learned that
noise-canceling technology works best on steady noise (like the noise of air conditioning) but not so well on
sudden, erratic noises like talking. I use these to study at coffee shops, and these headphones block out white
noise and other people’s conversations pretty well.
Are these headphones good for listening to rock music?
It’s good for all music. My grandkids listen to all kinds of music
