In-Depth Review
The ATH-M50xBT2 takes the legendary ATH-M50x studio monitor headphone and gives it wireless freedom. For music producers who want to go cable-free without sacrificing the precise, accurate sound they rely on, this is the obvious upgrade.
The sound signature is flat and analytical by consumer headphone standards. Bass is tight and accurate rather than boosted, mids are transparent, and highs are extended. For mixing decisions and reference listening, few wireless headphones are this honest.
There's no active noise cancellation — the closed-back design provides passive isolation. The 50-hour battery and USB-C charging are practical.
