Audio-Technica ATH-M50xEnso
The Enso inherits the M50x's signature sound completely — a punchy, detailed, slightly V-shaped tuning that is fun and engaging for everyday listening but not perfectly neutral for critical mixing. The 45mm driver is unchanged from the standard model.

Rich, warm sound signature that most listeners will enjoy, though audiophiles may want more neutrality.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50xEnso
The Enso's headline change is purely cosmetic: an all-black finish with a single white circular 'Enso' brushstroke marking 10 years of the M50x. Underneath, it is the same plastic-and-metal closed-back build — comfortable for a couple of hours, with swivelling cups and a flimsy pouch.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Premium build and excellent comfort, though slightly heavier than the previous generation.
