After more than a decade of limited-edition colour models of the ATH-M50x, Audio-Technica lets fans custom design the 2024 colour. The designs were created through the special interactive “LAB M50x” experience website where fans could select from different colours in either matte or metallic for select headphone parts. The winning "LAB M50x" design was selected with 3,127 votes from fans on social media.

The winning fan-voted design, a stunning mix of blue, orange, and grey, was designed by Brazilian DJ Sergio Gamarra. Speaking about his chosen colour selections, Sergio said, “First, blue represents confidence, reflecting the quality and reliability of the M50x headset. Orange evokes energy and creativity, highlighting the excitement of the music in us. Finally, grey adds a sense of sophistication and elegance, balancing the colour palette and adding a touch of modernity.”

The ATH-M50x are limited edition and will be available only while supplies last.
