Best thing in the app is you can switch from graphic EQ to parametric EQ what's actually day and night. Although 5 bands or never enough for exact fine tuning you can flatten some dips and peaks way better than with the graphic EQ. For me the best headphone in this price region in a long time. If you don't "need" ANC and like physical buttons more then touch controls this ATH is definitely worth its money.
I like these headphones. My only complaint is the buttons => the three control buttons feel very similar, so they can get confusing. I believe one of the buttons, particularly the middle button, should have a bump or a nipple to be tactically distinct from its neighbours.
I agree, every product has something it can improve on. I think we would agree these check most of our boxes to be considered a great pair of headphones
@@WaltsTV Thanks for the prompt reply. I presume I could connect the 3.5 connector and the other end of the cable with a C type connector to the phone! Forgive my technical ignorance.
Not a dumb question! The answer is yes, so whatever EQ settings you set before closing the app is what will stay on. If you haven’t already purchased these consider getting them from our website! We do two day shipping on select products www.walts.com/speakers/headphone/audio-technica-headphone-ath-m50xbt2 Also let me know if you do end up getting them from us, means alot!
Considering that these cans have their own DAC & amp, can you connect them to a PC or phone via USB C to play as a digital audio device? Since these have their own battery, I wouldn't necessarily need the device (esp not a phone) to charge them, just play high resolution audio more cleanly than via BT or analog cable, plus being able to leverage the EQ settings.
Great review, I like the advantages of BT but wanted to use it for electronic drums as well, how's the sound compared when it's plugged? Sony XM3, Bose QC35, Sennheiser Momentum all sounded poorly when plugged to my electronic drums.
Honest to god it sounds the same, the quality is top teir and its at a good price, i belive they can charge alot more for these based on how good they are
I was told by a Guitar Center employee that I can use Bluetooth and Aux In simultaneously with these headphones. I didn't think there were headphones capable of that but it would be extremely useful as I could plug them into my electronic drum kit (3.5mm Aux In) and play along to music from my phone (Bluetooth). Are they actually capable of that?
That sounds really cool, to be honest I'm not really sure. I would probably trust what the guy at guitar center said. I'm sure he wouldn't make up a cool feature like that.
Nice Review. If you compare the ATH-M50xBT2 To the Bose NC 700 or Bose Q45/Sony WH-1000XM4 or WH-1000XM5..What you will choose one comes in Overall Sound Quality/Comfort/Build Quality/Battery life and Charging/Features/App and Why please?
I believe it is only for the bluetooth app but the settings might stay on the headphones. I would look at their gaming version with a microphone - www.walts.com/speakers/headphone/audio-technica-headphone-ath-g1
I think Zeos is a hype man. He got trashed the original M50x, and is likely to continue to trash the series because it’s part of his internet brand lol. I have the M50XBT2 and I think they sound great.
No, Like I mentioned I use these headphones every day and I absolutely love them. Literally no cons, I can only say great things about these. I remember paying $300 for beats by dre and these blow them out of the water for less money.
@@WaltsTV Hi, I just bought these for playing digital piano, and had to return them because latency was WAY too high - playing a scale at the normal 120 BPM, I would hear a full note PREVIOUS to the one I had just played. This was with the headphones in low latency mode, and using a low-latency Aptx-LL Bluetooth transmitter. I don't see how Bluetooth will be adequate any time soon for TV/video or live music.

I agree!
I wish we could have seen a demonstration
Most easy to understand video that clearly explains how to use these headphones.
Glad to hear! Stay tuned for an updated video! :)
Walts TV & Appliance..Thanks Much !.......
Glad you liked it!

@@WaltsTV Will the clamp force be ok for fat heads like me?
@@jcap8391 I would say I have a large head and they are fine for me, they also have a lot of adjustability.
They are a perfect solution for my use case. My only gripe is that they don't include a longer cable and there's no 6.3 mm adapter.
That would be nice. I think out of the box for the price you cant beat it though.
adjust the EQ for a custom setting! that's what we are searching for- the adjustability
yes and I think its really nice that it comes with it unlike alot of other headphones
Is it possible to get a double- ended usb type C connector so I could connect headphones directly into the C type port of the smartphone?
I have never thought of that. If your trying to charge I would guess no. If you want hardwired audio then I would to 3.5mm to type c.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I presume I could connect the 3.5 connector and the other end of the cable with a C type connector to the phone! Forgive my technical ignorance.
is thus bluetooth and the wired are the same thing ?
Wired is the best connection but Bluetooth is nice because then you don't need a cable and can be more mobile!
Dumb question. If I update any settings through app, will it be applied to wired mode and other bluetooth sound devices as well or just my phone?

does it still work with aux when there is no power in battery left? Does it truly become wired?
Yep! Thats part of the reason I love it!

try check on beyerdynamic dt770 pro for closed back or dt990pro for open back.

Steelseries Nova Pro wireless seems able to do what you asked for
That sounds really cool, to be honest I'm not really sure. I would probably trust what the guy at guitar center said. I'm sure he wouldn't make up a cool feature like that.
It doesn’t work simultaneously bro. It automatically shuts off bluetooth once you plug in the jack
Nice Review. If you compare the ATH-M50xBT2 To the Bose NC 700 or Bose Q45/Sony WH-1000XM4 or WH-1000XM5..What you will choose one comes in Overall Sound Quality/Comfort/Build Quality/Battery life and Charging/Features/App and Why please?
Just seeing this, I tried the Sony's and they are just as comfortable but I think these sound better.
@@WaltsTV ok thank you
@@WaltsTV Got a 2 Years and 8 Months Old XM3 here and im looking for an Upgrade.. wellpp.. there goes the answer... M50x bt2 Here I GO
How's the bass I listen to a lot of rap music ⁉️
Bass Boost is the way to go! I listen to alot as well and it sounds great, Make sure you check it out on our website!
Great i have them and dnb and rap/grime sounds amazing
If I connect it to ps4 controller via 3.5, can I adjust the eq to suit my gaming preference?
I believe it is only for the bluetooth app but the settings might stay on the headphones. I would look at their gaming version with a microphone - www.walts.com/speakers/headphone/audio-technica-headphone-ath-g1
it will stay on the headphones
@@itzrally7 After testing this with my computer I can confirm this. Thank you!
So when Zeos Pantera Says These Are Muddy And Not A Fun Headphones What Say You
I would say ehh... I love these headphones and I have no plans on switching.
I think Zeos is a hype man. He got trashed the original M50x, and is likely to continue to trash the series because it’s part of his internet brand lol.
I have the M50XBT2 and I think they sound great.
is the latency on pc noticable in videos like youtube?
No, Like I mentioned I use these headphones every day and I absolutely love them. Literally no cons, I can only say great things about these. I remember paying $300 for beats by dre and these blow them out of the water for less money.
