    I bought these when they were $200 but at $20 less then I suppose they are worth a shot. They sound good and are comfortable but there were better options when I bought them.

    Really good headphones they really are meant for monitoring or studio stuff but they are still good for casual listening. This headphones battery last a long time only downside it’s micro usb. They really have bass not overwhelming but it’s there and the mids and highs super clear specially when listening to some high vocals or instrumental music. You get to hear all the instruments used in the music . This headphones use buttons for its playback but with some time you can get use to it. Also the mic during calls while in Bluetooth is averaged not the best but also not the worst.

    It just didnt fit right and good balance of sound, just a bit lacking bass. Wasnt really into swiveling ear piece and the head piece was slipping.

    The reason I'm only giving this 3 stars is only because of the Bluetooth. Connection sometimes cuts out when I put my phone in my pocket. The hands free feature often gets in the way when playing media from different sources like Spotify and YouTube (iphone). Other than a few minor inconveniences the headphones sound great and they feel great. I would better recommend the wired versions as the only issue with these headphones is the Bluetooth

    ...as my Beats Studio3. But, the mids are clearer on these. The upper range are brighter as well. For me these a bit better than studios for critical listening. M50xbt is the perfect way to start the never ending road to best sound. Their price for me is on point. If you want loud buy Beats Studio3(they do sound good) but if looking for precision these are much better.

    My best set of headphones yet.

    I have hearing problems and have a couple different brands of Bluetooth wireless headsets, one of which I use almost daily for my phone while at home. While they work really well I wanted something that had really good sound quality at least as good as my wired Sony or better. I saw that the Audio Technica brand had good reviews and wanted to give the ATH M50XBT wireless set a try, I couldn’t be happier. For starters these are a full over the ear headset where all my other headsets are on the ear, never really liked over the ear ones due to heat. These are very well built, sturdy, light weight for their size and for me they are very comfortable. They came packaged in a nice cloth lined box and included a stereo cable, USB charging cable, carrying pouch, and manual. After unboxing and reading through the manual I charged them up. Now, the manual states to only use the included cable to charge them with, but its short, and I happen to have a bunch of micro USB cables laying around so I tried out one already hooked to my 5 port charger and they seemed to charge with it so I’ll just stick to using that since that cable is 6’. Once charged up I initially wanted to try them hooked directly to my LG V40 and try out the fancy audio processor in it. The manual stated that you don’t have to turn these on to use the included audio cable and just use them as a pass through, “Nice”, and I can say that works perfectly well too. The sound quality listening to various music was clean, clear and with plenty of bass for my taste, “even with my hearing problems” I hadn’t heard music sound as good in a long time even comparing it to my other Sony and Jabra headsets. Next I hooked it up to my laptop via audio cable and played a little Witcher 3, and wow, the sound was so much better than with any of my other headsets, I just couldn’t believe it. Even had my wife listen and see if she thought they sounded good “she doesn’t have hearing problems” and by the look on her face I could tell they sounded really good, afterwards she said she was very impressed with how the sound effects in Witcher were more surround and what she expected. I had actually forgotten these were also wireless, was enjoying using them as pass-through that I had not paired them up to try them out for almost a day, “oops”. I paired them up with a couple phones I have here, a LG V40 and a Sony XZ2, both worked perfectly, I could answer calls and listen to music without problem. The only thing is if it’s connected by Bluetooth they don’t sound as good when directly connected to the V40 but it’s pretty close. I walked around the house, and the connection stayed pretty solid till I went out into the garage and shut the door. So after about 35’ the sound started cutting out, but only after I had shut the door, not bad at all for a Bluetooth headset and it compares right up there with my Jabra set. Next I paired them up with my Bluetooth transmitter for my TV and it worked like a charm. The TVs sound was nice and clear, and I could easily make out the conversations “without some sort of hearing device I cannot make out conversations easily”. I could actually walk out to the kitchen and other bedrooms and still hear the TV perfectly. My only real complaint is that the volume and function buttons are sort of small and hard to find quickly, “much easier on my Jabra headset” and it takes me a little bit of fumbling around to figure out which is which as there’s really nothing on them for touch feedback telling you which is which. The included charging cable is a little too short for me, and it would be nice if the stereo cable was a little longer but that’s nothing an extension can’t solve. If you are wanting an excellent set of headphones that “for me” sound very clean and clear, that also have the ability to be used as a pass through device and not use up battery time then these are a great set of headphones for you to take a look at. I never had a problem with heat building up and while watching a movie that was just over 2hrs they remained comfortable.

    I have the original ATH M50 headphones & have been looking for a bt version to match the sound. These cans do not disappoint! Burning them in ( about 20 hrs ) does make a big difference. I have tried open back vs closed & although you don’t get quite as wide of a soundstage with closed, these have phenomenal true to recorded sound.

    I have too many headphones/earphones that I care to admit. I've heard nothing but good things about the older wired version of these headphones and have always been intrigued to check them out. These do not disappoint. The clarity is really good. These are not "bass heavy" but the bass is definitely present and clear. These are some of my favorite that I own.

    Amazing Headphones for Anything

    I've been doing audio engineering for 6 years and previously had the wired version of these headphones before they finally gave out after 3 or 4 years or so. For bluetooth headphones they sound amazing with little to no connection problems. These probably have the longest battery life I know of on wireless headphones.

    I've used different iterations of these headphones for about 15 years now. The bluetooth update is great for bringing these studio cans into the next decade. Battery lasts forever, even if you've left them turned on for days by accident. Forget beats. Forget bose. These things are awesome.
