Monoprice DJ Style 8323 vs ATH-M40X Comparison

Of course, the comparison between the budget monitors vs less-budget set was due. Both were tested through both an dedicated DAC/AMP setup on a PC, and through a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus. No real difference between the two sources, given the fact that they're quite efficient. **Quick shoutout to Gus for lending me his DJ Style headphones. You a good fren. ---- Featured: ---- ** Audio-Technica ATH-M40X ** - Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M40x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR54/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=m40x&qid=1563991979&s=gateway&sr=8-3 ** Monoprice DJ Style ** - Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Headphones-Single-Button-Microphone-Controller/dp/B007SP2CO2/ref=sxin_0_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-bW9ub3ByaWNl-ac_d_rm&keywords=monoprice&pd_rd_i=B007SP2CO2&pd_rd_r=5ce38bf7-93b7-4bc8-af03-54640d58c50d&pd_rd_w=1vw9a&pd_rd_wg=T67rU&pf_rd_p=d29bc9bc-49e2-46b8-bc05-387917c341ec&pf_rd_r=0N1NE8FDNCRA18MGM02S&qid=1568041824&s=gateway ** I am an Amazon Associate.
