Seamlessly Switch Between Devices
These over-ear headphones include support for multipoint technology. Multipoint allows you to pair them with two mobile devices simultaneously. So if you're listening to a game on your tablet, you can quickly switch to your smartphone to take an incoming call.
Multi-Day Battery Life
Even if you listen for 24 hours straight, you can go a day without recharging the ATH-M50xBT2 headphones. On a full charge, they provide up to 50 hours of playback, which can be enough for multiple days under typical use.
Rapid Charge
If you do happen to find yourself needing your wireless headphones but forgetting to charge them, a quick 10-minute charge can give you up to 3 hours of playback time. More than enough to handle an important meeting or a ride to school.
Wired Listening
Out of power, no time for even a rapid charge, or want to use a non-wireless device? No problem. Simply connect the included 3.9' audio cable and you can use the ATH-M50xBT2 as a traditional wired pair of headphones.
Personalize Your Audio
Download the A-T Connect app to your Apple or Android mobile device and you can customize and activate multiple features of the M50xBT2 headphones. Below is a partial list of A-T Connect app's capabilities:

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Reviews

Excellent sound for listening to music, latency with video.

By William
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-17

The sound quality for music is excellent. The fit is same as the wired version. I purchased these with the intent of using for video calls because my wired ATH-M50 wire wears out about once a year. The issue I had on two different computers with the BT2 version is latency. After troubleshooting every method I could find, I was not able to eliminate the latency on video calls or when watching video. I put the BT2 in my travel bag and use for listening to music.

Another level of convenience and quality

These are just as great as my ATH-M50's and add an EXTREMELY low latency bluetooth mode. Super comfortable, classy audio quality, and low end that slaps.

Do they offer a Flat response throughout the frequency, similar to ATH-40X or are not so good for Audio Editing? Thanks
Asked by: ALICIA
The Audio-Technica Consumer ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Bluetooth sound very much like the wired version - the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Closed-Back Monitor Headphones (B&H # AUATHM50XB) which are often purchased for editing. The overall frequency response of the ATH-M50xBT and the ATH-M40x is fairly flat and both have a slight boost in the low frequencies. When compared to the ATH-M40x, the ATH-50x and ATH-M50xBT both have more highs

Is the 3.5mm jack proprietary with a locking mechanism? Or can I use any cable with it?
Asked by: Toby
You can use other cables on the Audio-Technica Consumer ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones (Black) however the entry point is recessed. So the barrel of the replacement cable would have to be slim or low profile.

What version of Bluetooth and are they on the aptX standard?
Asked by: David
I think the question that was meant was what Codec's are supported. That would be SBC, AAC & LDAC. LDAC is only currently available for Android and not iOS. Since I'm iOS I hope that will be changed soon.
