Audio-TechnicaAudio-Technica M50xBT2 Wireless Headphone Black

These 'Professional' Headphones are exactly what you would expect at this particular price range, and provide a clear and crisp sound when listening to any sort of music. I listen to the metal genre, all of the instruments used are clear and concise when playing. The Headphones also give this surround sound feel to it as the soft ear cups fit to cover your ears. You'll be very impressed at the quality and sound. As for the bass, well, I didn't really expect anything crazy from these Headphones but surprisingly the bass is not bad. However, the bass is very dependant on the quality of music you listen to. For example, listening to thrash metal songs (very bass dependant for some bands) then it is clear and crisp, and almost feels like you're at a concert with how it feels - very powerful. If you listen to music that is somewhat considered old by today's standards, then the bass will be quite lacking on songs with these Headphones, I particularly experience this with bands that published their albums and songs from the 1980s to 2001.Noise cancellation is good, but if you're listening to music with these on public transport at a volume of 80% then expect people to hear it, and likely give you looks. It's important to know that the volume is quite loud and somewhat sensitive, 40% volume should be suitable enough for you to use when in public but when you're on your own or at home then 60% should be perfect. You don't want to lose your hearing now, do we?To conclude, these Headphones are very good entry level 'Professional' Headphones and you can use them when producing music or to use recreactionally when walking around at home or outside. The good thing is that you are provided with 3 cables that each have their own specific use. If you are one of the many people that just want these Headphones for your phone or MP3 Player, then you will be happy to know that a 3.5mm cable is provided to plug into your devices.

I've previously had the m70x wired headphones so I decided to buy these when I recently purchased a new laptop. The sound is excellent and they are really comfortable. Bluetooth works flawlessly, battery life is more than good enough, and the app is well designed and works for what I need. Wired they do a very good job too. Would recommend to anyone and hope AT do a version 3

I bought the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x because I wanted headphones that could handle my eclectic music taste—from Beethoven to Beyoncé—and these did not disappoint. The sound is so clear, I can hear every note, every beat, every breath. It's like my music has been upgraded to surround sound.The comfort level is off the charts. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is great because I tend to get lost in my music. The build quality is solid, and they fold up nicely for storage. Plus, they come with three detachable cables, so I can choose the one that fits my needs.The isolation is impressive. I can block out the world and immerse myself in my music. It's like having my own personal concert, wherever I go.If you're looking for headphones that deliver exceptional sound quality, comfort, and durability, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is the way to go. They're worth every penny.

I have a background in music technology and degree in commercial music. I have tried many pairs of headphones over the last ten years during my career and we even did a full shootout test at university (which included these AT-MX50s as well as some £600+ Shure headphones); the Audio Technica headphones were the overall favourite by a long way. I've used these for 8+ years now with no major issues. After very heavy, daily use in a studio (and now more for gaming), the headband is just about starting to wear, and I have replaced the ear pads once during their lifetime. You can pick these up for about £15-20 for a pair so no major cost over their lifetime. I will probably buy a new pair in the next couple of years just because of the headband (which can't be replaced), but the current pair will be used as a secondary set for any musicians coming into the studio. For gaming they will give you a flat, but accurate EQ curve which makes the gaming experience very enjoyable. Those of you who like VERY base heavy music/EQ curves probably won't like them as they don't emphasise the low-end like some modern headphones. I recently purchased a SteelSeries Arcticis 7 wireless headset for gaming, but I ended up sending them back and reverting back to the ATs as the sound quality was a significant downgrade (by a long long way; they weren't even close). The only other thing to mention is they do a good job of keeping out unwanted noise and headphone bleed (crucial for recording situations), but they are not as "noise-cancelling" as a dedicated pair of noise cancelling headphones. This is not a major concern for me, and I've warn them on flights to cancel out background noise which was sufficient. In my professional opinion, I am still yet to find a better sounding pair of headphones than the MX-50s, and will be buying another pair when my current one finally dies! Don't fall for paying ridiculous money for hyped headphones like Bose or Beats, when you can buy these which are far better in terms of sound quality and will last a long time. If you really need the wireless aspect, then AT do another version of these called ATH-M50XBT which are the bluetooth version. Just bear in mind you will lose a lot of quality over wireless, but you can also plug them in for when you need the high quality, and use them wireless when walking/flying/listening to music etc.
