Excellent sound reproduction
I bit hesitant purchasing this headphones since it is not noise cancelling. Not a very powerful volume but just enough for me. If needed to be powered up, then will just use my headphone amplifier for it. It's worth every cent!

At a glance
The Audio-Technica M50xBT2 is a wireless over-ear headphone for listeners who want studio-inspired sound, long battery life and easy switching between phone and laptop. It suits home listening, calls and light content creation, with clear, balanced audio and wired backup. The main limitation is that it relies on passive isolation rather than active noise cancelling, so it is less effective in very noisy travel settings.

Things to consider
These headphones use a closed-back design for passive isolation, but they do not offer active noise cancelling, so frequent flyers and heavy commuters may prefer a specialist travel model.
Noise cancelling effectiveness
5/10 - good passive isolation from the closed-back design, but no active noise cancelling for transport noise.
All-day comfort score
8/10 - over-ear design suits extended sessions, though some users may still notice headphone fatigue over very long wear.
Commuter suitability
7/10 - strong battery life and wireless convenience are excellent for commuting, but passive isolation is less effective than ANC models on trains and planes.
Audiophile vs casual fit
Leans toward audio-focused listeners who want studio-style tuning, while still being easy enough for casual everyday use.
Multi-device flexibility
9/10 - multipoint Bluetooth and wired backup make it easy to move between devices and listening setups.
Key benefits
- 50-hour battery life: Up to 50 hours of playback on a single charge helps reduce charging interruptions through the week.
- Rapid charge: A 10-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of playback when you need a quick top-up.
- 45 mm drivers: Large drivers deliver clear highs, defined mids and solid low-end for balanced everyday listening.
- Multipoint bluetooth pairing: Stay connected to two devices at once and switch more smoothly between a phone and laptop.
- Ldac, aac and sbc support: Multiple codec options help maintain good wireless audio quality across compatible devices.
- Closed-back design: The over-ear closed-back build helps reduce outside distraction for more focused listening.
- Omnidirectional microphone: Built-in mic support makes calls and voice chats clearer for everyday use.
- Wired or wireless use: You can listen via Bluetooth or use the included 1.2 m cable when you want a wired connection.
Q: Does it keep working with a cable when the battery is flat
A: Yes. ATH-M50xBT2 can be used wired as well as over Bluetooth, so a flat battery does not stop playback on devices with a headphone output. The included audio cable is 1.2m long, which suits desk use more than moving around a room.
Q: Will LDAC work on every phone and laptop with Bluetooth
A: No. ATH-M50xBT2 supports LDAC, AAC and SBC, but the source device also needs to support the same codec for it to be used. If a phone or laptop does not support LDAC, the headphones will fall back to a compatible codec instead.
Q: Can it stay paired to a phone and laptop together
A: Yes. ATH-M50xBT2 supports multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so it can stay connected to two devices at once. That makes it easier to move between a phone and a laptop without going through the full pairing process again each time.
Q: Are these a good choice for recording near microphones
A: They can suit monitoring and tracking because the closed-back design reduces sound leaking out and helps block room noise passively. They do not use active noise cancelling, so they are better in controlled spaces than in very loud environments.
Q: How long is the included cable for wired listening
A: The included audio cable is 1.2m long. That length is practical for a desk, mixer or nearby laptop, but it is shorter than the long coiled leads often supplied with dedicated studio-only headphones, so it gives less room to move around.
