Expanding the Limits of Audio Technology
Introducing the ATH-M50xBT2, the second generation of critically acclaimed M-Series wireless over-ear headphones, featuring a number of enhancements to improve performance and usability. The M50xBT2 delivers the same exhilarating wireless listening experience as its predecessor, offering exceptional clarity and deep, accurate bass response. There’s even the option to adjust the headphone’s EQ settings, if you so choose – make the changes in the A-T Connect app and save directly to the headphones.
In addition, greatly improved vocal pickup, incorporating beamforming microphone technology for clearer phone calls and communication with the built-in Alexa voice assistant. Also added multipoint pairing to let you connect wirelessly to two devices at once. An updated USB-C connection, a low latency mode, and compatibility with high-quality audio codecs round out the enhancements.
New Limited Edition LAB Finish
Audio Technica regularly offers limited-edition color models that can be enjoyed not only for their sound quality but also for their visual design. The latest new finish was designed by Sergio Gamarra, a DJ from Bolivia and voted on by Audio-Technica fans. Speaking of his design he said: “First, blue represents confidence, reflecting the quality and reliability of the M50x headset. Orange evokes energy and creativity, highlighting the excitement of the music in us. Finally, gray adds a sense of sophistication and elegance, balancing the color palette and adding a touch of modernity.”
