ATH-M50xBT2 | Second-Generation M50xBT Wireless Headphones

Audio-Technica

collapse expand iconDescription

Introducing the ATH-M50xBT2, the second generation of the critically acclaimed M-Series wireless over-ear headphones, featuring a number of enhancements to improve performance and usability. But don’t worry—nothing has been changed about the critically acclaimed sonic signature. The M50xBT2 delivers the same exhilarating wireless listening experience as its predecessor, offering exceptional clarity and deep, accurate bass response. There’s even the option to adjust the headphone’s EQ settings, if you so choose—make the changes in the A-T Connect app and save directly to the headphones.

In addition, Audio-Technica has greatly improved vocal pickup, incorporating beamforming microphone technology for clearer phone calls and communication with the built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant. They've also added multipoint pairing to let you connect wirelessly to two devices at once. An updated USB-C connection, a low latency mode and compatibility with high-quality audio codecs round out the enhancements.

Sound quality
Exclusive 45 mm drivers deliver legendary M50x studio sound. Proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers and dedicated amplifier deliver exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with deep, accurate bass response. Low-latency mode reduces delay to keep audio and video in sync. Low-latency mode improves synchronicity between audio and video for smooth streaming and gaming. Premium audio-grade components deliver pure, natural sound.

The M50xBT2 is equipped with the finest audio components, including an AK4331 advanced audio DAC and dedicated internal headphone amp, to provide clear, high-fidelity sound. Compatible with high-quality AAC and LDAC codecs. In addition to SBC, the ATH-M50xBT2 is compatible with the AAC and LDAC premium wireless audio codecs.

Communication
Dual mics and beamforming technology ensure crystal-clear call quality. Improved vocal pickup is achieved through the incorporation of beamforming microphone technology, resulting in clearer phone calls and communication with the built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

Sidetone circuitry
The sidetone circuitry of the M50xBT2 allows you to hear your voice in the headphones when making calls on most smartphones, making it easier to carry on phone and video conversations.

Convenient mute control
You no longer have to hunt around for a mute option while on calls. The M50xBT2 microphone can be muted with a simple press of a button.

Utility
Multipoint pairing function allows you to stay connected to two Bluetooth devices at once.

Easy operation
Control volume/mute, music and calls, and access voice assistant (Amazon Alexa built-in, Google Assistant, Siri) with the convenient buttons built into the left earcup.

Google Fast Pair
Fast Pair enables you to quickly pair the M50xBT2 headphones with an Android smartphone or other device. A single tap on your phone and you’re good to go.

Wired connection
Includes 1.2 m (3.9") cable for optional wired connection.

    I needed to replace my old headphones for my studio, and these were recommended to me by my friend. The bass on these headphones are unreal, and they are incredibly confortable. I would've preferred a longer cable, but these headphones are also Bluetooth compatible, so I'm able to use them for more than I originally thought! #sweepstakes

    Good headphones but has issues on windows with bluetooth you have to go into a bunch of windows settings to turn off the hands free tech because if you play a game with voice chat itll activate hands free and the volume will become drastically low. So essentially you cannot use bluetooth without disabling a mic if you plan on playing or joining voice chat and still having sound

    Great headphones, love the flexibility. I've bought a 10' 3.5 cord and it works perfect wired, it's not as thick a cable as the wired version. Bluetooth sounds great, out of the box sound is neutral and clean. The Android app has EQ you can customize, but I found it dampened the sound so I've left it off, also I like that the headphones sound the same wired as on Bluetooth. I wasn't interested in noise cancelling, as audio quality was most important to me. This will be my studio and critical listening headphones.
