If you were a fan of the ATH-M50x headphones, you'll likely like the ATH-M50xBT as well seeing as they're basically the same headphones. They have better Bluetooth codec support than most, a great battery life, and are still durable and portable. While they're not cheap, they're still a great value.

Few pairs of headphones are quite as well respected and acclaimed as the iconic Audio Technica ATH-M50 and ATH-M50x. While originally positioned as studio monitors, these devices have become very popular even with regular consumers, thanks to their insightful sound and neutral sonic signature.

We've got a lot of love for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT Bluetooth over-ear headphones. From an audio perspective there's a lot of clout, with great balance and precision from these affordable cans.

Battery life lasts for what seems like forever; Great sound quality for the affordable price point (including aptX and Hi-Res Audio; Bass that really hits - unlike some lesser headphones; Solid Bluetooth connectivity

Big and bulky design is starting to look dated; Clunky on-ear button controls; Limited isolation can adjust audio profile in certain environments; No noise-cancelling limits appeal somewhat; Micro-USB is dated (should be USB-C

Awesome. Booming but not overpowering bass, crisp highs. The multiple cable types and lengths have proved helpful. Ear cushions are very comfortable.

Given this is my first go round with Audio-Technica I have to give the M50xBT headphones a nice thumbs up. I appreciated the sound profile these created and at times favored them over my Sony XM3s depending on the tracks. There isn't any noise cancelling but in this case it's not a deal breaker.

I am not a DJ who needs twisting earpieces, but as a music instructor I must be able to converse and hear what’s going on in a room where I’m teaching or rehearsing piano or guitar pieces. The ear units also fold for storage and transportation.

The Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT is a closed back over-ear headphone that can be used in either wired or wireless Bluetooth modes.

Excellent sound quality; Very capable Bluetooth implementation; Comfy and well made

Call quality not great; Controls a little fiddly; Could do with USB-C rather than USB- A

Headphones are a dime a dozen these days. From wired to Bluetooth to true wireless, there's an option for everyone. That being said, even though Bluetooth headphones are closing the gap, wired headphones are still the go-to for professionals.

Ditching the wires on the ATH-M50x to make the ATH-M50xBT is one of the best things Audio-Technica has done in recent times.

Excellent battery life; Good detail and fun sound; Bluetooth 5.0; aptX support

No ANC; Could be cheaper
