ATH-M50XBT2 Wireless Headphones, Black

Sound quality: very good Battery life: excellent Comfort: very comfortable, but high headband clamping pressure Build quality: excellent Portability: pretty good I had my eye on these headphones for a while, but never pulled the trigger, as they are not cheap as far as these type of headphones go. I will be using this almost exclusively for media viewing on my tablet at night. I also wanted something semiportable for occasional travel. I will sometimes use them for music, although I own a high-end audio system for that purpose. I have 2 pair of Focal headphones for serious listening sessions. The sound quality is very good, although I do wish they had a little more volume to them. If you wanted that, you'll need to run them in wired mode and use a dedicated headphone amp. The bluetooth works very well, and the app allows equalization among other settings. It is not necessary to use the app to use the headphones. The bluetooth pairing was fast and painless. They are extremely comfortable. The material of the earcups and headband are high-quality. I find the headband clamping pressure to be higher than I like, but the headphones are so comfortable that I don't think it's going to be an issue. They are also comfortable while wearing eyeglasses. The joints appear to be well-designed and strong. I usually do not buy headphones that are foldable for this reason, as they just don't last, even when treated gently. I don't think that is the case here. Unlike some of the better bluetooth headphones out there, the control buttons are placed so that they're actually usable. Other high-end brands that I've owned had terrible ergonomics in this regard. The battery life seems excellent. After 1 week of daily use, the battery charge has hardly changed from a full charge. I bought a pair that were Amazon reconditioned. They appeared lightly used, but not in like-new condition. The product description made it seem like they were either open-box or unused and repaired. The only reason that I'm not complaining is that I got these for a very good price. So far, so good. Recommended.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but these headphones deserve every bit of praise. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 absolutely exceeded my expectations. SOUND QUALITY: The audio is simply incredible — rich, detailed, and balanced. The bass is tight and punchy without being overwhelming, mids are clear and natural, and highs are crisp without harshness. I can pick up nuances in my music that I never noticed before. Whether it’s casual listening, mixing, or watching movies, these deliver studio-quality sound. BLUETOOTH PERFORMANCE: Seamless connection with my devices (both Android and Windows PC). The low latency is noticeable — movies and YouTube videos stay perfectly in sync, and I haven’t experienced a single dropout. Plus, multipoint pairing is a great bonus. COMFORT: Super comfortable even during long listening sessions. The ear pads are soft and the headband has just the right amount of clamping force. I can wear them for hours without fatigue. BATTERY LIFE: Battery life is phenomenal. I get days of use on a single charge, and USB-C charging is fast and convenient. BUILD QUALITY: Solid and durable — typical Audio-Technica craftsmanship. They feel like a professional tool, not a cheap plastic toy. OVERALL: If you’re looking for wireless headphones that sound like true wired studio monitors, look no further. The ATH-M50xBT2 hits that rare sweet spot of pro audio quality with wireless convenience. Highly recommended — one of the best purchases I’ve made this year!

I’ve had these headphones for over three years, and they still sound great. They’re lightweight and only start to feel uncomfortable after very long sessions without breaks (around five hours for me). The ear cups are just now starting to show their age, but replacements are easy to find online. If I could change anything, I’d love the option to use USB-C for audio and have more control over how they auto-connect to Bluetooth devices. They sometimes connect to random devices in my house, play the confirmation tone, then disconnect from that new device, and play the disconnect confirmation tone once more—briefly interrupting whatever I’m listening to, which is pretty annoying. That said, they’ve been durable, reliable, and I can easily see myself using them for another three years. I’d only replace them if I lost or damaged them.

This wireless version of the ATH-M50x is almost exactly like the original in terms of sound quality and comfort. The sound quality is pretty decent for headphones in this price range. The M50x will always be energetic and bright in terms of sound signature. Usually, the wireless version of a headphone will dull that energy. I found the sound to be very similar to the wired version. As for comfort, the M50x has always caused ear pains for me after wearing them for a few hours. It is the same for the BT2. I have never tried aftermarket ear pads, so I don't know if there is a better solution out there. Changing to different ear pads will alter the sound signature and affect the sound isolation as well. I have also compared these headphones with the vaunted Sony WH-1000XM5s. The Sony's active noise canceling is pretty amazing, arguably the best in the business. The ATH-M50x does not have active noise cancellation but the sound isolation from the ear pads is actually pretty good. In terms of sound quality, the ATH-M50x is much better. Sony just doesn't have as much detail as Audio Technica. Lastly, the Sony wins hands down for comfort. I can wear the Sony for an entire day and not have any ear pain.

What can I say... there's no other words that can describe the sound quality and superior build structure. Those 45mm drivers delivers whatever you ask them to do without distortion or clipping. The included AK4331 DAC inside M50xBT2 alone is enough to explain how powerful M50xBT2 sounds like. Want Bass? It delivers... want Treble? It delivers. Anything you throw at it either through Equalizer or AT Connect App EQ will DELIVER!! LDAC? It is included and supported! Leaves wired headphones to the dust. What more do you need? I hate wired headphones and ANC so... M50xBT2 works for perfectly for me👌

Recensire una cuffia è difficilissimo, recensirne una BT, esercito che convoglia nella stessa foce musicale audiofili, commuter, mercato consumer, un'impresa, ma proviamoci! QUAL'È LA DESTINAZIONE D'USO? Sicuramente sono cuffie pensate per chi ama la musica e le compra principalmente per questo. L'ottimo DAC AK4331, il cavo di ottima qualità e ben saldo (dovete spingerlo fino in fondo, anche la parte nera del jack deve entrare🤘🏻) e il fatto che la cuffia suoni bene anche cablata, anzi, come ovvio con più dettaglio...nulla batterà mai il dettaglio di un cavo per quanto ottimo possa essere il DAC interno di uno strumento BT. Non ci sono ANC, ma solo il side tone che vi aiuta a non sembrare dei fessi che parlano in un barattolo durante le telefonate (perché non usare delle comunissime in ear da poche decine di euro per le telefonate?). COME SUONANO? Molto bene, davvero molto bene. La prima volta che le ho provate le ho rivendute perché mi ero fissato sulla curvatura sonora che avrei voluto ottenere venendo dalle M60X che uso per registrare, che sono cuffie ottime, ma spacca timpani se usate per l'ascolto, ma soprattutto ho provato la concorrenza e da un punto di vista sonoro non c'è storia nella fascia che raggiunge i 500 euro. Ho provato Bose, Sennheiser, Jbl (però le più economiche) e cablate ho perso il conto...! Mancherebbero solo le Shure, che costano comunque più del doppio di queste. Ebbene tutte le altre cuffie BT a vari livelli hanno bassi troppo pompati, queste sono calde ma non pompate. Sicuramente calde, i bassi non mancano, ma non provocano quel senso di nausea tipico del prodotto consumer a chi ha orecchie educate e no, non è solo una questione di gusto ma risulta nelle misurazioni spettrografiche. Quindi i bassi ci sono, i medi e voci sono ottimi e gli alti pure, molto simili alla sorella cablata, importante come riportano quelli di Soundguys, lo spettro è omogeneamente attenuato, il che vuol dire che se si vorrà lavorare sull'EQ, sarà consigliabile farlo aumentando i parametri che si sentono meno invece che diminuire quelli che si sentono di più. Personalmente non uso l'EQ, ma l'ho provato ed è ottimo. LA DOTAZIONE? Nella confezione troverete una sacca in vinile, che è molto utile se usate le cuffie (che si piegano collassando su se stesse) portandovele nel borsone della palestra o in zaini piuttosto grandi. Ad esempio il commuter si troverà meglio con la custodia delle Sennheiser rigida molto più stretta anche se lunga perché usa uno zaino piuttosto stretto. Poi i due cavi usb per la ricarica, troppo corto e un sorprendentemente ottimo cavo per l'analogico della lunghezza, della dimensione e del materiale giusto. L'ESTETICA? Una questione estetica! Non sono eccessivamente pacchiane, non sono eccessivamente raffinate, fanno molto secolo scorso (in senso buono) e riflettono il coraggio del produttore nell'aver creato un prodotto quasi esclusivamente pensato per la musica. SONO COMODE? Più per chi non ha la testa molto grande, né orecchie molto grandi, ma entrambe le cose sono risolvibili con dei cuscinetti aftermarket che non si può faticare a trovare visto il modello e che per pura curiosità vorrò provare in futuro. Comunque non sono scomode, non stringono tantissimo, l'headband è bello imbottito, i cuscinetti dei pad non hanno le cuciture esterne sulla parte superiore che tocca la pelle della nuca cosa che considero un plus assoluto rasandomi evitando arrossamenti di sorta. Piccolo consiglio avendole entrambe ho potuto provarle con i cuscinetti della M20XBT e mi piacciono di più, sono più spaziosi internamente. Li trovate sul sito tedesco a una decina di euro, li ho appena comprati per averli nuovi. Difficile ignorare uno strumento del genere se si cerca una cuffia ben suonante dedicata all'ascolto.

Very good sound signature, and sound is very neutral , good for music and stuff, but for those with eyewear, need to take into account the clam force.

I can't say enough good things about these headphones. I wanted something in the £150 - £200 price range that have good sound quality, reliable bluetooth connection and are suitable for both music production and for enjoying music, films and gaming. These tick all the boxes for me and more. I think for the price range you're not going to get a better pair of wireless headphones. I tried and returned various other headphones by other brands before finding these. - Sound Quality: For the price these have a really nice sound. The default flat EQ is perfect for music production and audio monitoring as it gives accurate but high quality sound. However when listening to music, watching films or gaming I switch over to my custom EQ (slight low end and upper mid range increase) which brightens up the sound slightly. I really appreciate the mobile app that these come with as it allows you to customise the EQ to your liking, as well as other customisation features. The app itself is well designed too. - Build Quality - These feel really well made and are extremely comfortable to wear. I've worn them for 5 hours straight and didn't notice any discomfort, it's worth mentioning that I wear glasses too. The buttons are simple to use once you get used to which buttons are where. The folding feature is nice too. I've not tried the audio cable yet but that also feels high quality, as does the leather carry bag the headphones come with. - Battery Life: Lasts forever on a single charge and charges very quickly. - Bluetooth Connection: Works as it should. Easy to connect, has very good range and doesn't randomly cut out. Also with the low latency mode active I can't see any latency whatsoever, making them perfect for gaming and films. I tried coming up with some cons about these headphones but honestly couldn't think of anything. Really happy with them.

Al tacto se siente un buen producto, no como uno de tope de gama pero por el precio es bueno. Ligeramente amontonado en la parte de grabes y medio-grabes, los agudos son muy claros y completos. Para algunos el sonido es diferente ya que el sonido es fiel al original sin alteraciones del mismo audífono. Pros: •Larga batería de 50 horas aprox. •Sonifo espectacular para ser Bluetooth, con cable suena mejor. •Carga de 3horas y media y con 10 minutos da 7 horas de uso. Negativos: •Sin apagado automático o sensor para detener la música si te los quitas. • un solo cable de Jack 3.5 a 3.5 • los botones un poco riduosos pero nada inaceptable • la diadema con poco alcochado (para ser de uso prolongado deja que desear) •Pesados para no ser tan grandes Un producto para recomendar si no eres fan de los graves exagerados o los inexistentes agudos en la música. Al principio aprietan un poco las orejas pero con unas horas de uso eso cambia. Además que los detalles en plateado son de aluminio, no son de plástico pintado. Recomendación: Comprar otro cable adicional más largo para uso en escritorio, cuidar el forrado de la diadema porque casi no existen repuestos o son complicados de remplazar.
