Popular questions

Verified 31 august 2026, Olexandr Cherkashchenko

Will the charge last for several days?

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 are rated for up to 50 hours of music playback; in one review, with daily use of 5–6 hours, a charge lasted 3–4 days. Via USB-C, a 10-minute quick charge provides up to 3 hours of listening.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 suitable for the subway and noisy streets?

For consistently noisy public transport—probably not: there is no active noise cancellation here, and passive isolation is better at blocking high frequencies than rumble and low-frequency noise. This is a good option for home, the office, or quiet trips, but not a substitute for models with ANC.Source:Expert reviews

How do the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 sound?

The sound is overall balanced, rich, and sufficiently versatile: the bass does not overpower the mids, while vocals and instruments remain clear and well-defined. The model is suitable for various genres and attentive listening, but fans of especially powerful, punchy bass may find its standard tuning somewhat restrained.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Will they be comfortable for people with large ears or when wearing glasses?

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 fit securely and fold for portability; however, the earcups and earpads are relatively small, and the fit may feel tight. Those with larger ears and people who wear glasses should try them on before purchasing—for long listening sessions, this may be a decisive factor.Source:Expert reviews

Should I upgrade from the original ATH-M50xBT?

If the first version fully meets your needs, switching is not essential: the sound signature and design are similar. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 adds longer battery life, USB-C, LDAC, and two-device connectivity, so upgrading makes more sense for the convenience of wireless use rather than for a radically different sound.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

How good are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 for calls?

They are suitable for conversations in a quiet room: voices are transmitted clearly, and they feature built-in microphones and microphone muting. In a noisy subway or near a busy road, you shouldn’t expect the performance of a specialized headset—they are primarily headphones for music.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
