Audio-TechnicaATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black

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!

Sound quality: very goodBattery life: excellentComfort: very comfortable, but high headband clamping pressureBuild quality: excellentPortability: pretty goodI 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.

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.
