At the 2010 Summer NAMM show happening this weekend in Music City USA, Audio-Technica introduced its new ATH-M10 Professional Monitor Headphones ($59 MSRP). For the price, the new headphones offer stellar sound quality, comfort, and durability for project studios, home studios, and critical music listening.

The new ATH-M10 dynamic stereo headphones are said to deliver exceptional clarity, a comfortable lightweight design, and a natural, accurate frequency response ideal for mixing and monitoring. In addition, the headphones’ adjustable headband and closed-back padded circumaural (around-the-ear) ear cups provide maximum acoustic isolation and long-wearing comfort, while the 10-foot long straight cable make it easy to move around the studio freely when wearing the headphones.

Audio-Technica's ATH-M10s have 40 mm drivers for a naturally balanced frequency response (30 Hz to 20 kHz), 100 dB sensitivity, and 40 ohm impedance. Weighing just seven and a half ounces, the headphones also have a stereo 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) connector with snap-on 1/4-inch (6.3-mm) adapter. Wear the ATH-M10s to get a clear, accurate response for mixing and monitoring.
