McKinley chosethe Audio Technica ATH-MSeries Headphones as one of her Staff Picks — here’s what she has to say about them!

“Up until I purchased these headphones from HMT in 2020, Ihad been on a grueling, 5-year-long quest to find the perfect headphones that would allow me to record and mix my own music from home without sacrificingquality or spending the bulk of my savings account. I went throughfour pairs of ‘studio quality’ headphones,the firstof which sounded as dull and dumb as a blunted baseball bat; another of those failed headphone experiments (which cost $100 on eBay) sounded like they were playing sound through two rusted metal trashcans.
Then came the ATH-MSeries to the rescue! They’re more on the affordable side of recording quality headphones; they maintain an astonishingamountof clarityin the low end; and the higher frequencies that are notorious forbecoming thin and ice-picky sound soincredibly healthy and rich. I have since used them to mix four studio-length albums and several dozen live shows, and I am happy to say that these headphones are a perfect purchase and I’ll be sticking with them for some years to come!”
