Our take on the MXL HX9 Over-Ear Studio Headphones

The MXL HX9 is a closed-back, over-ear studio headphone built around 50mm drivers, sold with a detachable 9.8-foot coiled cable, two 3.5mm-to-1/4-inch adapters and a carrying pouch. The closed design blocks outside sound and lifts bass compared with open-back studio headphones, which suits tracking, editing and casual listening in noisy rooms. It folds for transport and lists Bluetooth 5.0, so it can also run wireless, though the coiled cable and adapters point at wired studio use first. Against rivals like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and Sony MDR-7506, it offers a longer coiled cable and a pouch, but those models have far deeper track records for durability and neutral tuning.

About the MXL HX9 Over-Ear Studio Headphones

The MXL HX9 is a pair of over-ear studio headphones made for content creation and studio work. They have 50mm drivers that deliver full-range detail and clarity. The closed-back design isolates outside sound and gives more bass response than open-back headphones.

The headphones are lightweight and fold up for carrying, and the earpieces swivel. They sit over the ears (circumaural) and are held in place by a headband. A detachable 9.8' coiled 3.5mm cable connects them, and two 3.5mm to 1/4" adapters and a carrying pouch are included.

Questions and answers

Is the MXL HX9 good for mixing or only for recording?
It is strongest for recording and tracking, where the closed back keeps sound out of the mic. The boosted bass makes it a weaker choice for critical mixing; check mixes on neutral monitors or open-back headphones.
Does it work wired and wireless?
Yes. The detachable coiled cable runs wired into an interface or mixer, and Bluetooth 5.0 lets it run wirelessly from a phone or laptop. Wired is the better choice for low-latency studio work.
How does it compare with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x?
Both are closed-back studio headphones with detachable cables. The HX9 adds Bluetooth and a longer coiled cable; the ATH-M50x has a much longer record of owner feedback on pads, hinges and tuning.
What comes in the box?
The headphones, a detachable 9.8-foot coiled 3.5mm cable, two 3.5mm-to-1/4-inch TRS adapters and an MXL carrying pouch.
Can I use it for commuting or travel?
It folds and comes with a pouch, but there is no active noise cancellation and Bluetooth 5.0 is dated. For noisy commutes, a dedicated ANC headphone isolates better.
Will the earpads and cable hold up over time?
The cable is detachable, so a worn cable is easy to replace. Pads are the usual wear point on closed-back headphones; there is little long-term owner data on the HX9 specifically.
