The Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT are headphones for on the go with the quality of studio headphones. You connect them to your smartphone or tablet wirelessly via Bluetooth. Because it supports the Bluetooth profile aptX, you can stream your music wirelessly in high quality. The battery lasts 40 hours on a full battery. This way, you don't have to go without music during a long trip.
Sound according to our expert
The bass tones of the Audio Technica ATH-M50XBT is clearly present, so the emphasis of the sound is on the bass. Sounds around 400 Hertz are lightly muted. As a result, the instruments and vocals sound less nasal. With some songs, this dip has the opposite result and the instruments and vocals sound less rich. That means the sound of the instruments and vocals sometimes differs from the way the artist intended it. These headphones don't have an equalizer that lets you adjust the sound manually. You have to make do with the factory settings.

I belong to the audiophile part of humanity. Just like its wired brother, these headphones are so well-balanced: highs, mids and lows are reproduced in harmony. Distinguishing the instruments and voice(s) is wonderful. The bass is punchy without being overpowering. And the soundstage is equally impressive. No ANC? Luckily not! I've never heard of headphones where the ANC doesn't negatively affect the sound! BT 5.0 gives undisturbed connection and no lypsync problems. That coolblue characterizes these headphones as middle class is really laughable! Change to top class soon!

My ATH-M50 is and remains the best headset ever bought, following in its footsteps. Since the M50 has fought a hard battle, it no longer has to be carried in the bag.. but the bluetooth variant can be taken along, that saves cables!
The bluetooth variant certainly performs no less than the m59 monitoring headphones, but there is a small but noticeable difference between this and the older variant. Plus and minus, no wire, slightly less quality .. ease of use compared to sound .. for me, on the road this is certainly no problem. And with ease that this is better than many Bose products in terms of sound.
