What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Neutral and balanced sound profile makes it suitable for studio monitoring and critical listening
  • Comfortable for extended use due to soft padding on the earcups and headband
  • Sturdy and robust build quality uses metal in key areas
  • Long battery life often exceeds the advertised 50 hours in tests
  • USB-C charging and a quick charge feature, providing multiple hours of playback with a short charge, are also highlighted
  • The Audio-Technica Connect app enables users to customize the sound profile using an equalizer and presets, adjust L/R balance, customize voice assistant preference, customize volume, and other settings
  • Flexibility of both Bluetooth wireless and wired connectivity via a 3.5mm audio jack
  • Multipoint pairing, allowing simultaneous connection to two devices, is also a valuable feature

Product Considerations

  • Absence of ANC is a common point of concern
  • While the headphones offer decent passive isolation due to their over-ear design, they do not block out noise as effectively as ANC-equipped alternatives
  • Heat can build up after longer listening sessions
  • The earcups can sometimes be backward when putting on the headphones
  • Tight fit may be uncomfortable for users who wear glasses or have larger heads
  • Inconsistent bass and treble delivery, and are sensitive to the fit, seal, and positioning of the headphones on the head

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Bose QC35: The ATH-M50xBT2 has a slightly shorter battery life, but unlike the Bose, it lacks noise cancelling
  • Vs Sennheiser HD450BT: The ATH-M50xBT2 has a slightly shorter battery life than the Sennheiser HD450BT, but unlike the Sennheiser, it lacks noise cancelling
  • Vs Sony WH-1000XM4: The Sony WH-1000XM4 is more comfortable and well-built, and unlike the Audio-Technica, it features an ANC feature
  • Vs Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT: The ATH-M50xBT2 has a longer continuous battery life and better recording quality
  • Vs Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT: The ATH-M50xBT2 also features sound customization options and multi-device pairing
  • Vs Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless: The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless feature an ANC feature, unlike the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless

Takeaway: The ATH-M50xBT2 headphones are a solid choice for those seeking balanced sound, comfort, and versatility in both wireless and wired modes. These headphones are suitable for listening to music, working from home, or in the office.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • Audio-Technica's products are known for their sturdy and comfortable build, making them suitable for long listening sessions.
  • Audio-Technica offers open-back headphone designs, like the ATH-GDL3, geared toward gamers and audiophiles seeking a wider soundstage, a feature uncommon among gaming headsets.

ATH-AD500X  

  • Positioning: Entry-level open-air audiophile headphones designed for comfortable, natural listening.  
  • Description: Features newly designed 53 mm drivers with CCAW voice coils and a lightweight honeycomb aluminum casing that deliver natural sound with impactful bass and clear vocals. Compared to the higher‐priced models in the lineup, it offers a straightforward open-air design ideal for casual listening and home use without advanced studio-level acoustic refinements.

ATH-TWX9  

  • Positioning: Premium truly wireless earbuds engineered for dynamic everyday use and active lifestyles.  
  • Description: Incorporates digital hybrid noise-cancelling technology with customizable ambience control, deep-UV sterilization, and support for Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound to create an immersive 3D sound stage. In contrast to the over-ear studio and monitor designs, they prioritize portability, flexible noise management, and extended battery life to meet the needs of commuters and workout enthusiasts.

ATH-M70x  

  • Positioning: Professional closed-back monitor headphones tuned for precise mixing and tracking in the studio.  
  • Description: Uses proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers to achieve an extended frequency response from 5 to 40,000 Hz, ensuring balanced and accurate sound reproduction. Compared to the more portable TWX9 and the open-back reference model, they offer enhanced sound isolation and durability for long studio sessions with a focus on critical listening tasks.

ATH-R70xa  

  • Positioning: Flagship open-back reference headphones crafted for critical studio listening and production.  
  • Description: Delivers pure, natural sound with a fully open-back design that minimizes internal resonance and distortion, providing precise imaging and quick transient response through meticulously engineered drivers. Compared to the closed-back M70x, the R70xa offers a more spacious and uncolored soundstage ideal for mixing, mastering, and detailed production work in quiet environments.

ATH-AWKG  

  • Positioning: Ultra-premium audiophile headphones that merge traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge audio engineering.  
  • Description: Features an exclusive KUROGAKI wooden housing with a hand-applied lacquer finish and a double air damping system coupled with 53 mm drivers to offer clear, expansive sound quality. In contrast to all other models in the lineup, the AWKG emphasizes luxurious materials and artisanal construction along with advanced acoustics.

Our take on the brand

Reviews
Bang & Olufsen is a luxury hifi speaker brand known for its Acoustic Lens Technology, which delivers 180° horizontal sound dispersion—features like the BeoLab 90's 18 individually amplified drivers offer user-selectable beam patterns.

Product Strengths

  • Exquisite build quality with premium materials, like anodized aluminum, memory foam, lambskin leather, and high-quality polymer
  • Very comfortable, generously padded with memory foam wrapped in lambskin, and the headband distributes pressure evenly
  • Long battery life, up to 35 hours with ANC on and 40 hours with ANC off
  • Sound quality is rich, refined, spacious, balanced, and impressively detailed
  • Good voice pickup and decent noise suppression in moderately noisy environments
  • Connectivity options are available

Product Considerations

  • Round ear pads may pull down on ear cartilage and rest on ear lobes
  • The HX can only be laid down flat, they are not fully collapsible
  • ANC is good, but not quite at the level of industry leaders
  • Touch panel is awkward to use, and touches are often not registered properly

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Sony 1000XM4/XM5 and Bose 700, ANC on the HX is not quite at the level of these industry leaders
  • Vs the H95, the HX are more sensible, and noticeably cheaper
  • Vs the Sony XM3, the HX looks far more refined
  • Vs the Apple AirPods Max, the HX has up to 15 hours of additional battery life, and are also 100g lighter
  • Vs the Bowers & Wilkins PX7, the HX brings a slightly higher level of refinement, showcasing detail and nuances that are missed

Takeaway: The Beoplay HX are beautifully made headphones that deliver excellent sound quality and are highly comfortable. If the user values aesthetics as much as audio and is willing to pay a premium for quality, then the HX is worth consideration.

Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Premium build quality with materials like lambskin leather, aluminum, and tempered glass, gives it a solid and luxurious feel
  • Comfortable for extended wear, due to soft memory foam padding on earcups and headband, and a balanced headband
  • Balanced sound signature with warm bass, clean mids, and well-defined treble, making it suitable for various music genres
  • Effective active noise cancellation (ANC) significantly reduces low-frequency sounds
  • Comprehensive package includes various adapters for different connections, and a hard-shell carrying case for protection

Product Considerations

  • The earcup size might be too small for some users, potentially affecting comfort and seal
  • Some reviewers found the clamping force to be loose, which could be an issue for active use
  • Audible hiss can be noticeable when ANC is activated
  • The app lacks a customizable graphic EQ
  • Ambient mode is subtle and might not let in as much surrounding sound as competing models

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Sony WH-1000XM5, the Master & Dynamic MW75 delivers above-average ANC performance, but it is not class-leading
  • Compared to the Bose QuietComfort 45, the Master & Dynamic MW75 has an audible ANC hiss

Takeaway: The Master & Dynamic MW75 are stylish and comfortable headphones that deliver excellent audio quality and decent noise cancellation. They are a great choice for those looking for a premium listening experience and appreciate high-quality materials.

Product Strengths

  • Exceptional battery life, advertised at 90 hours without noise-canceling and 60 hours with ANC.
  • Very comfortable for extended use, with soft pleather ear cushions and a well-padded headband that distributes weight evenly.
  • Good audio fidelity for the price range, with a warm sound signature and clear mids suitable for various music genres.

Product Considerations

  • The design is described as minimalist and generic, lacking the distinctive Audio-Technica branding, with plastic construction.
  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is average, not on par with industry leaders like Sony or Bose, and a background noise was noted in ANC and ambient mode.
  • There is no smartphone app support, so there is no EQ, button remapping, noise cancellation adjustments, or firmware updates.
  • The headphones cannot be folded for easier travel.
  • The transparency mode can sound unnatural, with some digital distortion and excessive amplification.

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Sony WH-1000XM5, the ATH-S300BT is a more affordable alternative.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • ANC does not compete with Sony or Bose, even in the same price category, let alone their higher-end stuff.
  • The Sennheiser HD 450BT and the Urbanista Los Angeles offer better ANC or a unique solar charging design, respectively, for a small price increase.
  • More comfortable than the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 and Apple AirPods Max thanks to plush padding.
  • The Edifier WH950NB hybrid ANC is well implemented, making it a legitimate reason to consider, even outside of the big price savings, as the Stax SPIRIT S3 does not feature any noise cancellation.

Takeaway: The Edifier WH950NB is a comfortable and feature-rich headphone that offers good noise cancellation and balanced sound, making it a solid choice for commuters or anyone seeking an immersive listening experience. With its long battery life and customizable app, these headphones are a great value for the price.

The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless combines audiophile-inspired sound, Adaptive Noise Cancellation, 60-hour battery life, and supreme comfort in a fold-flat wireless headphone.
Check Amazon
Sennheiser pioneered the world's first open-back headphones with the HD 414 in 1968, which became the bestselling full-size headphone of all time, and later developed the HD 25, evolving from 1980s broadcast use to become the industry standard in DJ booths worldwide. The brand is known for unique engineering approaches, such as integrating high-voltage amplifiers directly into earcups with Carrara marble chassis in the HE 1, developing proprietary ring-radiator transducers and absorber technology to eliminate resonances, and creating the long-running MD 421 microphone that has remained in production since 1960.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Sound quality is excellent; multiple reviewers describe sound quality as impressive right out of the box (no EQ)
  • Good battery life, lasting over 55 hours with ANC on
  • Connectivity options include wired listening over USB-C and the standard TRS jack

Product Considerations

  • ANC performance is not as strong as competitors, reducing outside noise and loudness by about 76% across all the samples that were taken, while the Apple AirPods Max can achieve something like 88%
  • Touch controls can be too sensitive and can be triggered by mistake
  • There are some unexpected rough edges; sometimes the touch controls just do not work when first starting the headphones

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Sony XM5: The Sennheiser Momentum 4 outperforms the Sony WH-1000XM5 in terms of sound quality
  • Vs Apple AirPods Max: Transparency mode is not as good
  • Vs Sennheiser Momentum 3: The Momentum 4 provides improvements in vocal clarity compared to the Momentum 3
  • Vs Bose QC45: The Bose QuietComfort 45 have better ANC

Takeaway: The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones offer flagship sound, comfort, and long battery life. They could be a good choice for anyone who values sound quality and extended battery life.
