Incredible Value from the ATH-M50xBT2 Headphones

Looking for amazing value in professional monitor headphones? Sweetwater has a great suggestion: ATH-M50xBT2 closed-back headphones. A-T’s flagship M series ’phones are best sellers, featuring 45mm neodymium magnet drivers that deliver the accurate frequency response and stunning detail you need to make sound decisions when you’re recording, mixing, or DJing. The closed-back design gives you superior isolation with minimal bleed, while the circumaural earpads give you cushy comfort during long sessions. Factor in their space-saving collapsible design, swivel earcups, and Bluetooth capability, and you have a winner. Consider the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 headphones today for your studio or causal listening.

Closed-back vs. open-back headphones

Sometimes referred to as simply “closed” and “open,” this distinction addresses the design of the part of the headphone that covers the area behind the driver in a straight line away from the side of your head. Closed-back headphones like the ATH-M50xBT2 prevent sound from escaping and leaking into your microphone. The downside of this design is that it traps pressure inside the headphone, which creates false low frequencies. Open-back headphones, on the other hand, don’t suffer from this issue. They deliver outstanding accuracy and clarity that are suitable for critical listening.

Circumaural vs. supra-aural headphones

In layman’s terms, these words simply mean “over ear” (circumaural) and “on ear” (supra-aural). In the case of headphones, this refers to the design of the earcup, which is the cushion that sits between the headphone’s speakers (drivers) and your ear. Supra-aural headphones are rarely used for professional applications; although, they’re great for casual listening — especially if you need to be aware of what’s going on around you. On the other hand, over-ear headphones such as the ATH-M50xBT2 offer excellent attenuation of external noise.

Rated 5/5

Awesome Headphones for guitar playing.

This does not come with the 1/4th in adapter. I assumed that it did but it's no big deal, I had to buy an adapter to use these on my amp since I thought this one had one.
Rated 5/5

Headphones with some extra thought put into them

Comfortable feel especially with the numerous axis to turn and adjust fit. Great sound quality and low weight. Stylish but practical design - nice product!
Rated 5/5

Awesome

I finally found the best ever wireless headphones. The sound quality is impeccable and clear. No static but very powerful. This is my third pair of Audio-Technica headphones but the best of the three. I will definitely recommend this to family and friends. Audio-Technica has a great product line. ATH-M50xBT2 headphones are made with quality materials and very durable. The cords that come with the headphones are incredibly robust. Thanks to Sweetwater for selling great products.
Rated 5/5

All-around great quality.

The sound quality coming through these is excellent. I am hearing things in music that I couldn't hear before. The battery life is the best I have ever had in any pair of bluetooth earbuds/headphones. I wear these 5 days a week, 5-6 hours a day and I only have to recharge them every other week and that doesn't take long either. I am sure these aren't the best pair of headphones out there, but they are the best I have ever personally owned. Would recommend them.
Rated 5/5

Fantastic performance at equally fantastic price

Love these headphones. Sound quality is excellent; Bluetooth connectivity works consistently well but offers full set of cables also; extremely long battery life; fits comfortably.
