Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black

Sound Quality The first thing I noticed with the ATH-M50xBT2 is that they keep the familiar M50x attitude: punchy, clean, and a little bit forward. I wouldn’t call them laid-back headphones at all.

It’s the kind of setup I’d expect to use for casual listening in a bedroom, office, or small living room […]
