Audio Technica M50xBT2 review: studio-quality wireless headphones for audiophiles

The Audio Technica M50xBT2 are some of the best sounding cans you can buy

Sound is fantastic ; 50 hours of battery ; Amazon Alexa built-in

No active noise-cancelling ; Disappointing call quality ; They look very big on some people

A must-have pair of headphones for anyone who cares a lot about audio quality - the Audio Technica M50xBT2 are some of the best sounding headphones you can buy. They're not the best looking and they don't have noise cancelling but they're a top choice...

Audio-Technica M50xBT2 review: Cool, clear and collected | Expert Reviews

The limited edition Ice Blue Audio-Technica M50xBT2 are as cool-looking as over-ear headphones get but they're far more than just eye candy

Well-balanced and detailed sound ; Comfortable, robust and stylish ; Strong battery life

No active noise cancellation ; Occasional connection hiccups ; Earcups get warm quickly

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 review

A slight upgrade on their predecessor

Great sound that balances fun and accuracy ; Long battery life ; Comfortable

Poor noise reduction during calls ; No active noise cancellation

Some of the best-sounding wireless headphones you can get for the money. Just make sure you won’t miss ANC too much first.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 review

Simply superb

Precise sound ; Near-category-leading battery life ; Companion app with unique features ; Robust connectivity ; Classic design

Undesirable call quality ; Feels uncomfortable after an hour of use ; No ANC and transparency modes

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 is a sonic gem that awards brand enthusiasts with strong connectivity and playtime in a retro package.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Review: Fabulously Flat - SlashGear

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 headphones bring flat sound in a relatively affordable package. If you're looking for accurate audio, these might be for you.

Flat sound for studio mixing ; Comfortable to wear ; Reasonably priced ; Durable build

Battery life could be better ; Ear cup brackets are annoying ; Sound is not for everyone

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Review

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 are wireless over-ear headphones with a continuous battery life of more than 60 hours. They're the next generation of the Audio-Te...

Well-built and comfortable. Decent mic performance. 61.6-hour continuous battery life. EQ and presets available.

Not very stable. Poor passive soundstage. Poor noise isolation performance. Can only receive audio. Not very portable.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 are good for neutral sound. Their sound profile is very neutral and not as boomy or bass-heavy as the original Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT. If you prefer a different sound, you can customize it with a graphic EQ and presets...
