Review: Audio-Technica ATH-M30 Stereo Headphones
tl;dr: For the price, these cans can't be beat. Durable, simple, and powerful.
In 2005, I bought a pair of Audio Technica ATR-M30 headphones. After helping a band record an album (Lost in Ecstasy, by the Priestie Boyz), three trips to Europe, and hundreds of hours of listening enjoyment at home, nothing except the pads on these headphones has needed replacement (and those are cheap and simple to replace—I bought a set of replacement pads for $10).
