Akai 50X Closed-Back Over-Ears for $80

The popularity of the Audio Technica M50/M50x has created a whole clone sub-genre, one of which is apparently an Amazon-exclusive model of sorts, the new condition, closed-back over-ear Akai Project 50X is on sale for $80 with free shipping with a limit of three units per customer.

They are collapsible with 50mm drivers and average 4.3 out of 5 based on 35 customer reviews over there. The first review there notes their resemblance to similar headphones from Lyxpro, Stellar and ISK. In response to the review, an AKAI representative wrote that these have been tuned by AKAI’s engineers. Research them further if interested. I haven’t seen or touched them, so I know nothing Jon Snow 🙂
