Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT headphones review

Technically brilliant

Great sound quality ; Smooth mids ; Comfortable ; Great price

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT review

Bluetooth headphones with sound that speaks louder than their understated appearance

Nice simple design

No noise cancellation

An undemonstrative exterior concealing really enthusiastic sound - these Audio-Technicas are not to be taken at face value

Audio Technica's wireless monitor headphones look kinda ugly, sound kinda great

The Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT offers consistently high sound quality for both wireless and wired use, making them great for music fans looking to trade up from entry-level models.

Unlike many headphones at this price, there's no noise cancelling. The sound can be a little too forward in noisy environments, resulting in less natural sound. The power button is in an awkward spot.

The Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT offers consistently high sound quality for both wireless and wired use, making them great for serious music fans.

Audio-Technica M50xBT review: better beats

For those who prioritize sound quality over looks

Questionable comfort ; Touch activation for voice assistant is finicky and slow ; Lack of noise canceling ; Lack of USB-C charging

But in the broader wireless market that includes Sony and Bose’s excellent NC headphones; Bang & Olufsen and Bowers & Wilkins’ strikingly pretty cans; and the plethora of alternatives from the likes of Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Audeze, and even Grado...

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT review: Fill the ears, fill the soul

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT is the Bluetooth version of the hugely popular, but wired, ATH-m50x. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT is a large over the ear headphone that looks like it means business.
