Worth the money. Can be used with a dead battery
Absolutely fantastic headphones!TLDR: I would buy these again without hesitation. I might even have purchased over the ATH-M50x if these were available when I purchased my first pair a few years ago. They sound the same when running directly via 3.5mm cable. They are built the same and they feel the same; very comfortable.Pros:+ Can be used cord free via bluetooth connection.+ Can be used with 3.5mm aux cable without bluetooth (like, oops, I drained my battery or no BT reception).+ Using via 3.5mm cable doesn’t require batteries, it’s passive, just like any normal headphones (like the ATH-M50x).+ The head phones have a large memory so that it will remember multiple device connections (8 if I remember).+ The reception is good 20-30 feet away from a bluetooth device. I’ve been able to walk into other rooms or down stairs and remain connected. I’ll get a skip or studder depending on distance and number of walls (which is totally normal and to be expected).+ Switching between bluetooth and wired is as easy as connecting the cable. You should turn off the power switch since technically you’re not streaming over bluetooth. I accidentally left the BT connection to my phone on and plugged in the cable to my laptop. It worked and I didn’t realize until I walked away and returned to see the pulsing white light (I had left on the power switch).+ I can get a few days of 8-hour use before having to charge them again.+ They sound the same as the ATH-M50x when the power is off and they are connected via 3.5mm cable.+ They have a small bump in base over the ATH-M50x when connected via bluetooth.+ Same build quality and feel as standard ATH-M50x head phones.+ Little to no sound leak (using glasses with thick frames will be an exception).+ Although they are not noise cancelling, they do a good job isolating external noise because they are over the ear. With music playing, you won’t hear much around you. With music paused, you can hear when people are trying to talk to you (planes, public transit, etc…).Cons (the first two are minor):- The pleather bag that comes with these is really small. Yeah, the headphones fit but it should probably have a minimum of an inch more in length and width. This would help bag not be as tight around the headphones, especially when the cable is there.- After only 8 months, the factory 3.5mm microphone/remote cable that came in the box wore out last week. This was without any drops, yanks, or hard wear and tear. I listen to bluetooth at home and while commuting on the train. I turn off bluetooth in the office and just listen via cable because crApple osx 10.6 has massive bluetooth failures (100% apple, not the headphones).- Micro USB to charge. Seriously, this is stupid. Micro USB is cheap so that’s why people use it in hardware designs, but omg don’t try to connect this to power in the dark. It will take you a year to first locate where the port is for power, let alone figuring out if the cable is upside down or not. They should have put up the money for USB-C. it’s more robust and is bi-directional. That is my biggest gripe about these, honest. Everything else is tolerable.**Edit** November 2019It’s been a year of daily use for these now. I stand by my origional review. I only wish charging was USB-C type of connector.- Audio still great.- Call clarity still great.- Construction still sturdy.- Battery still holding up.- 3.5mm audio port still holding up.- Single replacement cable still holding up and that’s with connecting /disconnecting daily.- Cushions still in great condition.- BT pairing still spot on.Regarding the comment on the factory audio cable:I replaced the broken mic/audio cable with a nice braided cable, 3.5mm on both ends (one side naturally has an extra conductor and insulation band for the mic). For those of you looking to replace a cable, spend the money and don’t buy cheap low quality cables; you’ll be so much happier with a soft braided cable of higher quality of you need a replacement.

great quality
The unparalleled quality and performance of Audio Technica is filled with a reputable company history. This spirit is continued with their wireless over-ear headphones named ATH-M50xBT2. While the name might not inspire curiosity or inspiration it speaks for itself in the ways that matter. For everyday listening on your mobile device this device works seamlessly to provide and the quality stays consistent with a wide range from the highest of trebles to the biggest bass drops you will experience a range of sound that is unparalleled from competitors. While average consumers may fall to the marketing schemes of Beats by Dre. You can tell Audio Technica spends money on their product quality rather than their celebrity collaboration and commercials. Audio Technicaâs headphone speaks without a single advertisement and a clean simple website that will provide you with unmatched music quality no matter what genre.The renaissance man perfectly describes the headphones sound quality and design.With the diversity in sound comes the easy controls on the headphones with easy volume adjustment, pause button, and even a function to activate siri. While bluetooth disconnection can occur occasionally it is not noticeable most of the time maybe once every 6 hours. This is counteracted with a very good bluetooth range of about 8 meters and a plug in option. While in general a lack of custobility in app sound settings is leaving many wondering if they could provide an equalizer. The comfort has a small weight but fits around my ears and does not put pressure on my head or cause headaches. Not recommended for working out and will fall off but still possible if you are careful but would recommend using another type of headphone. Very cushioning microphone puffs with easy replacement if needed that feels extremely durable. This product has maintained its long battery life for almost two years with no battery deterioration which can not be said for most apple products.

Consistent….and thats actually a good thing….
Consistent….I have the original M50 and built up my headphones for various uses (Travel, In home studio, podcasting, etc.) and bought these for my Everyday use and travel. The original M50’s i used for DJing replacing my old Sony V700’s (the Standard for me), and they fit the bill. * was hoping these to be all arounders to replace bluetooth earbuds when I need them too, or just to block out eveyone while working…a few caveates, but workable and hope they last as long as the M50’s (which are still in use for studio work and podcasting duties)build quality – It is up there with the M line. Clamping force on the head is there. It feels a but stiffer compared to my M50 and M50X’s, but these are brand new, so they should break in quite nicely. By the way…I also replaced the earpads with Brainwaves ProStocks….better noise blocking, and softer on the clamping force for long periods of use.Sound Quality – This is where i dropped it a bit. The sound quality was not up to par when using Bluetooth. I had better quality using the wire (which made sense when using Dolby Atmos that was built into the S10), but again, that’s not why I bouth these to begin with….even when My phone was optimized, the sound was lacking. Maybe I need to burn in the headphones, but it would be nice if the audio was just as good out of the box rather than foing theough the hassle of breaking them (so the drivers are good and loose). These are fairly flat, ao its not an issue for studio use for me, but again, it would be n8ce if they were tuned right out of the box to sound great immediately.Not much to really say…I am looking forward to uaing these, but you think the audio would be up to par to all the other high end headphones that have come out over the last 5 years….the price was good, but for what Im going to need these for, I’m not complaining (I have a full set of M50’s, which also means these are my personal favorites).

Ses kalitesi: Güzel. Ortalama bir kullanıcıyım. Kulaklıkları kaliteli, orta ve kalitesiz olarak üçe ayırabiliyorum en fazla. Yani çoÄu insan gibi bir bilgim ve becerim var. Bu kaliteli sınıfta. Ama öteki kaliteli diyebileceÄim türde olanlardan bir farkını göremedim. Ãok beklentiniz varsa biraz düÅürün öyle alın. Takınca bir anda konserde olmuyorsunuz. Güzel oluyor iÅte.Rahatlık: Ãok baskı yapıyor. Uzun süreli kullanamıyorum. Azar azar kullanıyorum sonra da kenara koyuyorum. Küçük kablosuz kulaklıklardan alsaydım daha rahat edecektim büyük ihtimalle. Bundan dolayı biraz piÅmanım diyebilirim.

This review is almost after 1.5 years of usage. I owned a pair of audio technica M20X before these headphones, so I was already impressed by the sound quality of these headphones in the wired form however I was slightly apprehensive about how they would perform wireless. Below are the likes and dislikes I have developed over the last 1.5 years.Likes:1. Excellent sound quality: They produce excellent mids and high and adequate bass(not too much of it to interfere with the music). Very clear and accurate sound. Perfect for all types of music but if you’re looking for bass heavy headphones, these are not for you2. Build quality: These are built like a tank. Even with my rough usage there are hardly any issues with them. Really sturdy overall.3. Comfort: These are highly comfortable and can easily be worn for long periods of time. It might take being used to if these are your first over the ear headphones.4. Battery life: Quite impressive battery life. They charge to full in about 4 hours or less and with real world usage they have about 3-4 days of battery.5. Bluetooth connectivity and zero lag: The range on these is pretty good, and there’s no noticeable lag even when gaming casually.Dislikes:1. Poor microphone quality: One big issue I realised during the pandemic is how appalling the mic is. Several times people have told me that my voice is too low when I am using the mic on this headphone. So if you want a good mic this doesn’t have it.2. Charging mechanism: it doesn’t have the type c port for charging which could be an incovenience if your other gadgets are type c compatible. Also there’s no fast charging.3. Absence of active noise cancellation: The headphones isolate the noise well but if you’re looking for ANC then these headphones don’t have it, but given the price(12.5 K INR) at which I bought them, I don’t miss it.4. Servicing centres: Although these headphones are really high quality, I am not sure if they have any service centres in India, so if they I am not sure who to reach out toConclusion:These headphones are a really good upgrade over my previous m20X wired headphones and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality being so good. So if you’re looking to buy a pairs of well built wireless headsets which get the basics rights in terms of sound quality, I can wholeheartedly recommend these, however you’ll have to live the poor quality mic.

I use these primarily to mix and master music. When I first tried them out, the results were outstanding. I could clearly hear every tiny detail. In terms of comfort, I have large ears, so I will have to change the pads. Starts hurting after 3 hours of use.The sound is brilliant, I only noticed that the low mids are a little exaggerated, so you will have to bear this in mind while exporting your file.As far as noise cancellation goes, they’re great. If you work in a quiet place(like a studio environment), you’ll have no issues. Don’t expect it to give you 100% noise cancellation when you’re walking on a street and whatnot.Also, these pair of headphones are not really made for listening to music. Of course, some would really love this close to flat frequency response for daily listening, but their purpose is to perceive your mix clearly and deliver quality content to the listener. So don’t buy this if you want something bass-heavy to rave to those EDM hits.Otherwise, overall a great buy. The quality of the headphones and cables is excellent. If you are into the music industry, this is a great option. Also, I got a blue pair. Looks insane!! GO GET IT!!!

First off they’re better than I expected and I had some HIGH expectations. I only have one set back but, (it’s an effect with all Bluetooth headphones) and that’s a slight buzz/static in the right ear piece when songs are paused or on literally volume 1 or 2. Afterwards you cannot hear a thing ðThat’s not what brought me to the review. I listen to all genres of music and essentially bought these to play guitar without waking up the house or neighbours at 6am or 1am. My phone also doesn’t have a headphone jack ð so these seemed like a great “All in one” and they so far seem to be (day 3).I had previously been using a used wired Beats solo for the past 4 or 5 years, just days before COVID-19 they broke. Got these, they arrived in less than one week, and after using them for approximately 4 or 5 hours (usually on full blast) if not longer than 5 hours so far in 3 days time and they still haven’t dropped from the 80% battery life they came in the box with. (they’re still at 80%).The feeling is again, better than I expected. I often wear a baseball cap and I’ve never had headphones fully cup my ears while wearing my hat over my ears (I know I’m a ninja). They’re still perfect and sound isnt effected by wearing hats. Amazing.Now… I listen to metal, rap, country, blues, swing music, dupstep, classic rock.. Everything.. Listening to some hiphop, I could finally hear lyrics that I’ve never actually could fully hear in my childhood… No matter how hard I would listen. I’ve known this album for 20 years and I finally could piece exactly what the rapper was saying throughout the whole song.The overall sound… Sounds balanced. Is just about how the best I can put it. Nothing too much and certainly nothing too litte.. bass is level and new sounds to old songs…?***They do NOT come with anything compatible with guitar or bass amplifiers so these items you will need to buy seperately***Also the case is quality leather, yet soft, I recommend buying a hard-shell case to protect your purchase.SOLD
