ATH-M50XBT2 Wireless Headphones, Black

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Headphones are outstanding if you want professional-grade audio performance combined with the convenience of Bluetooth. These headphones keep the well-known sound signature of the classic M50x studio monitors while adding modern wireless features and improved connectivity. From a technical standpoint, the headphones use 45 mm large-aperture dynamic drivers, which deliver excellent clarity, strong midrange detail, and controlled low-frequency response. The sound profile is very balanced and accurate, making them great not only for casual listening but also for music production, mixing reference, and critical listening. Key technical highlights: • 45 mm drivers provide detailed and dynamic audio reproduction • Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for stable wireless performance • Support for high-quality codecs like AAC and LDAC for higher-resolution wireless audio • Multipoint pairing allows connection to two devices simultaneously (for example a phone and laptop) • Excellent battery life—over 60 hours of playback on a full charge • Quick-charge capability that provides hours of listening from a short charge The build quality is also impressive. The headphones feel sturdy and professional, with comfortable ear pads and a design that seals around the ears for good passive noise isolation. Controls on the ear cup are intuitive, and the built-in microphone works well for calls or online meetings. Another feature I really appreciate is that the headphones can be used both wirelessly and with a cable, making them versatile for studio setups, travel, or everyday listening. Overall, these headphones deliver excellent sound accuracy, long battery life, and strong connectivity, making them a fantastic choice for musicians, producers, content creators, or anyone who wants studio-level audio quality in a wireless format.

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!

Not blown away, but for the price they are very reliable wireless, flat responsive, headphones.

These headphones are very nice sounding, comfortable and have great battery life. I am super-pleased with these. Some headphones can be too bass heavy or the highs can be too high which can be irritating and nerve-racking, but these are quite neutral which is a good thing in my opinion. I have an iPhone and downloaded their app and it has an equalizer where you can adjust the sound to better suit your personal preference. I did adjust the equalizer and I really like it better than the default setting, so I recommend that you check the app out. These are not noise-cancelling headphones but the padding is pretty thick and does block a lot of noise. I have a very loud air condition unit outside my window and this really does a nice job blocking out most of the noise. I've had these for almost two years(bought in April 2022) and use them almost every day and they are holding up very well. For the record, I don't throw them around, etc. I think these would fit most people's heads. I have a large head and can expand them to fit me fine. These are not the lightest headphones, but I think they are comfortable and I wear them hours at a time. I wear them inside so I never get too hot. They are over-the-ear headphones so they might get warm but for me it hasn't been an issue. I might occasionally take them off for a minute or crack the seal to let some air in. Privacy note: They do have an option in the app where you can turn off data sharing. It did surprise me to find out that Audio-Technica collects information about my usage, but other companies do this too, like Bose. The Audio-Technica app does say the data collected is not personally identifiable. Anyway, I just thought I would mention this for those of you who are privacy minded.

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.

The sound is phenomenal... they do have issues connecting to bluetooth. On some devices, you ave to forget the headphones EVERY TIME you are finished using in order to connect again. My iPad insists on this every time and tells me I have to 'forget' the device in order to reconnect. Same issue with my HiFi Walker H2 MP3 player... have to delete profile and search for new device every time. Not a HUGE deal, but the only device I have ever owned where this is required... the incredible sound is the only reason that this method of connecting is acceptable.

Pc users: If you are running into a problem were the headphones sound scratchy, it is because of the voice input. There is a way to turn it off and it boosts the sound quality to what they are ment to be. Research how to turn it off it is different depending on your operating system. Sound Quality is absolutely amazing. Definitely worth every penny Perfect over ear headphones

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.

Très léger. Le Bluetooth permet la connexion sur deux appareils en simultané, ce qui est génial. Deux points négatifs: 1. Le câble est un peu court (1,2m) et ne peu pas être remplacer par un câble dont la base du connecteur est un peu large. 2. Les coussinets ne sont pas assez épais, ce qui fait que les oreilles touchent les haut-parleurs. Mais je recommande clairement le casque, les deux points négatifs sont facilement réparable et le câble ne sert pas à grand chose de toute façon. La durée de vie de la batterie est impressionnante.

J'ai acheté ce casque pour écouter mes enregistrements de guitare. Je m’en sert quasi tout les jours lorsque j’en joue ! Les + : - Son excellent, fidèle et équilibré, parfait pour tous les styles de musique. - Autonomie au top (40h) et Bluetooth stable avec multipoint. - Confortable, mais peut serrer un peu sur de longues sessions - hyper malléable (voir photos) - je l’ai depuis plusieurs mois et la qualite est toujours au rendez-vous Les - : - Micro correct, mais sans plus. - Pas de réduction active de bruit, mais bonne isolation passive - sur de longue session d'écoute : peut serrer un peu la tête Très bon casque pour les amateurs de son, sans fioritures. Idéal pour écouter mes enregistrements de guitare 💬 Je partage mon expérience pour aider ceux qui hésitent, en espérant que cet avis vous sera utile.

Me pregunto qué he estado haciendo hasta ahora. Tengo unos Sennheiser HD 435 y unos Razer Kraken Tournament Edition que llevan un DAC THX pero estos M50BT2 ofrecen una calidad de otro mundo. Realmente parece que escuchas la música por primera vez, como el artista quiso que se escuchara en el estudio de grabación. Es realmente impresionante. Seguramente pensabas que disfrutadas de la música como yo, pues.. no. SONIDO : Ahora sí que se aprecian todos los sonidos y los instrumentos, los bajos estan muy equilibrados pero cuando entran son muy potentes sin distorsion pero donde noto mas realce es en los medios y agudos. Las voces y los platillos suenan cristalinos. Lo más destacable es la claridad del sonido y la capacidad de la persona que escucha de poder distinguir cualquier efecto. No tienen cancelación de ruido pero mis orejas son pequenas y quedan perfectamente cerrados ofreciendome una escena de sonido muy buena. SONIDO A TRAVES DE NVIDIA SHIELD PRO : En las opciones de desarrollador de la shield detecta LDAC aunque solo a 16 bits a 48 khz (En las opciones de shield viene la opcion de hasta 32 bits a 96khz) COMPATIBILIDAD CON IPHONE 15 PRO MAX BLUETOOTH: Solo SBC/AAC, LDAC es solo para Android, una pena, pero he comprado un adaptador usbc a jack 3.5 para tener la maxima calidad por cable. Si estoy en casa puedo conectarme a la shield pro por LDAC así que no hay perdida de calidad en ningun caso. CABLES : calidad mediocre por no decir algo peor, son cables muy standard, mis cascos Razer de 80 euros tienen cable trenzado y del cargador es muy corto. REPRODUCCION CON DAC : Tengo 2. El de los cascos Razer con THX, es un dac que suena muy bien limitado a 96khz y algo vitaminado en el sonido para gaming, con graves potentes pero lejos de la claridad que me aporta el DAC de mi antigua tarjeta de sonido Creative X-fi Fatal1ty Professional Series con 192khz y Crystalizer es donde obtengo el maximo detalle en la musica con estos auriculares. He realizado las pruebas sin ecualizar para no alterar demasiado el sonido, sólo ajustando los graves y agudos y Crystalizer al 60%. COMODIDAD : Nuevos aprietan sí y a las 2 horas se hace difícil soportarlos pero la gente dice que si los pones en su caja terminan dando de sí. Calurosos tambien, lo noto en pleno invierno pues en verano tiene que ser bastante peor, pero con A/C en casa a 20 grados no debe ser un problema. CONCLUSIONES : La relación calidad precio me parece excelente, dudo que haya algo mejor, tal vez lo peor sea la calidad de los cables y que para disfrutar al maximo de estos auriculares por cable necesitas un DAC y musica Lossless o si es por bluetooth un sistema Android con LDAC, en Iphone hay que conformarse con AAC pero tambien hay adaptadores usbc/jack3.5 para conectarse por cable.
