Building success on the first M-Series Bluetooth headphones, the ATH-M50x, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 wireless over-ear headphones boasts several improvements.
In addition to retaining the critically acclaimed Studio Sound featuring the sonic signature of the original with exceptional clarity and deep, accurate bass response – delivered through 45 mm large-aperture driver in a closed-back design, Audio-Technica has given the ATH-M50xBT2 dual mics with beamforming technology for improved vocal pickup during calls.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 further boasts multipoint pairing that allows two devices to stay connected at the same time – a feature that is fairly rare even in audiophile-grade wireless cans.
Other features include Low Latency mode, Google Fast Pair, built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant, touch for voice assist, optional wired connection with the included cable, customizable listening options (equalization, L/R balance, and more) through A-T Connect app, USB Type-C charging port, and a 50-hour battery which quick charging feature that will get you 3 hours of use with just a 10-minute charge.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Headphones is slated to be available stateside starting on August 18, 2021, for US$199. Meanwhile, it is already available in the U.K. for £179.99.
