Overview

Wireless over-ear headphones

The Bluetooth version of the ATH-M50x, adding LDAC, multipoint pairing and an EQ app while keeping a wired input. It has no noise cancelling.

  • LDAC support

    Besides AAC, it supports LDAC for higher-bitrate streaming from Android phones, but not aptX. The Connect app switches codecs and adds a graphic or parametric EQ.

  • Long battery life

    Rated up to 50 hours, and a 10-minute charge is rated for about 3 hours. Reviewers found it lasts at least as long as rated.

  • Tight clamp

    Reviewers found the clamp tight and the leatherette pads warm, which can become uncomfortable after an hour or so, especially with glasses.

Wired listening

A 1.2 m 3.5 mm cable is included. Wired playback is passive, so it works with a flat battery, but the earcup controls do not work over the cable.
