Audio-Technica - ATH-M50xBT2

I'm with you on the comfort and EQ actually. I can wear my 900s for hours, they are extremely comfortable. It's amazing what a difference a little adjustments to the EQ can do. I bought a pair of Audio-Technica m50x-BT2 for on the go. They have a parametric EQ. I asked ChatGPT to give me settings for it that would make them sound like my Grados but with bass. They don't sound exact, but they sound good. As far as my actual Grado SR80x goes, I bought the sheepskin pads for them which really brought out the bass, but I lost that musicality they are known for, so again, EQ saved them. Now I have extremely comfortable Grados with bass. Again, not sure if I'll reach an end game per say (I like the way you frame it though), all I know is I'm having fun and that's what matters.

Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X I have 5 other pair of headphones, all good quality. It's like an addiction, it's almost like I want to listen to the other five and appreciate them and get my money's worth out of them, but I just can't stop listening to the 900s. Right now I'm listening to the Audio-Technica M50X-BT2. I've adjusted the parametric EQ and am dialing in my preferences with guidance from the web and ChatGPT. I'm giving them a fair chance as I eye my 900 Pro Xs

Of the eix main pairs of headphones that I use, three are wired and three are BT (all three of them can be wired though). I'm at home most of the time so my daily drivers are my Beyerdynamic DT900 Pro x and 770 Pro 80 ohm. I have a pair of Grado sr80x that I also enjoy from time to time. For wireless on-the-go use cases I usually use my AT M50xBT2. I also have the ULT Wear and JBL Live 770NC. My ears aren't trained well enough to notice a difference from BT, but my BT cans are all consumer grade, that's what makes the difference.

What do you think of the Audio-technica? Which model did the friend gift you? Just curious since I have a pair of m50xBT2 that I use when I go out and can't have my amp and wired headphones.

Nice! You have the original studio version it sounds like. I know the Bluetooth version of those that I have isn't as good, but it's still good. So I can only imagine how good yours sound.

It makes sense to want something more reliable. Your flair says IEM but the post says headphones. If I had a recommendation for headphones it might be the m50xBT2 from Audio-technica. They are reliable and based on the studio m50x which are said to be 'legendary' I have the BT ones I mentioned and they sound good. They have two types of EQ in the app so you can customize if they don't sound good out of the box.

I love my AT-M50xBT2 i use the Bluetooth for listening to music on my phone just walking around and use the aux when producing

I use Audio Technica M50xBT, they have a version 2 now. These are great, studio quality headphones with bluetooth. They're comfortable, sturdy, sound great, and have a long battery life. I prefer closed back headphones because I am a super loud saxophone player, I wear ear plugs even when playing alone in my basement, so this at least helps to keep out some sound

Bought my son a set of Audio technica ATHM50xBT2 headphones for Christmas. He’s set them up on his windows pc (win 11) and during use there’s quite a noticeable latency or delay between things happening in game and then the audio. It’s small but noticeable and inconvenient. I’ve checked with his current turtle beach headphones (which has a dedicated usb Bluetooth adapter) and the latency doesn’t exist there. My question mainly (because I want to explore all avenues before having to return them because there a 30% restocking fee!) is can I improve the latency of the headphones? He has Bluetooth integrated into his motherboard which is an ASUS b550m- WiFi II. Apparently this has Bluetooth 5.2 on board, but the headphones say they have Bluetooth 5.0 on the box. He’s connecting directly to this Bluetooth rather than a Bluetooth usb adapter, if I got a Bluetooth adapter would things improve?

Audio Technica ath m50xbt2, you have LDAC codec, and also you can use with cable, so you have like wired and wireless at the same time

Ja mam ATH M50xBT2 i są przewspaniałe

I’ve been using Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT2’s for like 3 years now and they’re literally perfect. Great sound with adjustable EQ, huge battery, comfortable, noise isolating, and they have an optional wire for lossless playback as well

i started with a ddj flx4, ath m50xBT2 headphones, and pioneer dm-50D-bt speakers, and i’m still using that same equipment to produce years later. buy nice or buy twice, spend the extra $50-100 to get stuff you will use for years

Sony WH-1000XM4, Focal Clear MG, Sennheiser HD800S, Audeze LCD-S20, Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT2. I love headphones and I also sell them for a living :) join us at r/headphones

HAve a look at a Audio Technica M50x BT2. Replace the earpads with brainwaves velours pads and you have a decent headset that EQ's well, is studio grade in sound and doenst break the bank. The battery is longlasting, the micro is decent and it folds for easy carry. Its not the best at anything but good at most things.
