Audio-Technicathrows its hat into the wireless audio ring with the ATH-M50xBT, which operates viaBluetooth 5.0. “The ATH-M50xBT offers the same sonic signature that has made theATH-M50xan audio industry standard,” says Bob Peet, Audio-Technica U.S. Marketing Manager.
WhileBluetooth doesn’t stack up to wired audio quality, the package does include a 1.2-meter cable with an integrated mic and remote for studio needs. When out and about, users can rely onaptXandAACcodecs to facilitate reliable streaming. What’s more, the over-ear design helps to eliminate background noise byinsulating listenersfrom their environments, allowing them to take advantage of the large 45mmdynamic drivers.
An impressive 40-hour playback time is afforded by the battery, which is great for mobile users guilty of leaving theirarray of charging cablesat home. Unfortunately, though, that longevity comes at a price and requires a patient seven hours to complete a charge cycle via micro-USB, notUSB-C.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT is available now for $199.
