These headphones really surprised me! Audio-Technica M20xBT review 

Have you experienced any echoing when you wire it?

how the sound comparing with the M20x?

@@LongTa Very similar, very good sound. I like the bass and the crystal clear sound.

I wish they'd got the noise isolation more on point. That's all that's missing in noisy environments.

Can you not use the bt version wired?

Theyer great for tv, not latency issues noticed with low latency turned on.

Soldering headphone wire is one of the most annoying experiences I’ve had. lol

you can solder in a 3.5mm port instead. if you're creative enough, you might even be able to solder in a 2.5mm port instead and fit a FIIO BTA10 for M50X (or the one for the other model(

I have had my wired for years now and I just got the bt but I am very disappointed by the quality drop in the materials used. I also noticed the bt model was smaller then wired

​@@ME-yr1gnwill it be durable if i use it for like 4-5 hours every?

@@rvvinayak2243 I’m not quite sure I have definitely grow to like the bt version more since 9 months ago, but I definitely don’t use them that much to have a say. But I would say with like 1-2 use everyday 9 months later they are basically still factory condition good

Is it comfortable for very long term use (hours at a time?)

I love these but they don't have ANC which is what people use for in airplanes

​@@FeministCatwomanvery comfortable, probably the most comfortable I have tried in Bluetooth (wired would be HD599 and DT770 Pro). Similar in comfort to the Sony XM4, both very lightweight

@@residentzeroThank you for your answer! I just got them

​@@FeministCatwomanLet me know how comfy they are, like for hours of long use

Sound stage is small as it is a closed back headphone. I believe the frequency response is kind of V- shaped

@StoneJack for me their is but it could be a me thing my computer is being wacky as all hell.

@@ME-yr1gn it could be your wire cable try replacing the wire

I don't get an echo effect. Maybe you have the Bluetooth on when wired. Try to turn the Bluetooth off when you listen wired.

You can't use these wired and BT at the same time. When I plugged the cable it turned off the BT

That would be amazing, but I hope it takes a few years so they get the latest technology

please reply to me if you'll get the m50x! i'm interested in knowing the differences

Did u buy it? I have the same problem with all the headphones I buy

There is a m50x bt2 those are exceptional. LDAC support as well as sound quality even better.

@@shamhosein770 I have them in orange but I still prefer m40x tuning. The m50x bt2 is much better than og m50x though

Thanks! I haven’t tried those

@@9to5toys would be great if you guys can make a comparison video

@@PutitoCorner So compare to a headphone more than 2x the price that makes a lot of sense. 😂🤡

Hows the Sound Quality?

​@@sheizuI'm impressed at the sound quality. Nothing beats my wired AKG K371 and Sennheiser HD 650, but for Bluetooth these are up there. I miss the lack of ANC a bit but I think that makes headphones that have it extremely expensive and heavier. When the sound starts playing I don't hear the outside noise, but when passive, leakage is plenty. I still love them. The clarity in incredible, I have several other BT headphones up to 8 times more expensive and they exaggerate the bass at the expense of everything else which can be muffled. Coming from those, these are very balanced, the bass is not lacking at all, very precise and accurate but not overblown. Only problem is at high notes these can be a bit sibilant like the sound of plastic bags being squished. It's not a deal breaker because the over all sound is very balanced and the clarity makes up for the treble noise. I also think they're not as fun as other headphones, but are very accurate and don't stand on the way of sound except the occasional sibilance. Some people might find them boring at times but I really like how neutral and true to the source the are. Balanced sound is the key word. If they had a EQ app ir would help to fix the gritty treble issue which is its only defect, do they're not perfect but for the price they're amazing. One last thing, and this can be a bit downside, the soundstage isn't there

Can other people hear it? I have a condenser mic so I need to not be able to hear it

Those available on M50xBT2.

i listen at around 60-75% volume for around 42-48 hours before it bugs me of low batt currently.

Would recoommend earbuds instead

your description reminded me of the HD 25

@@ryanbernard3977 Koss KSC75 has both good soundstage and imaging for $20

@@ravantgarde1899what is imaging soundstage in headsets?

M40x with hm5 pads, 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter, and a vmoda boom pro. Thank me later

theres a low latency modefor gaming

Simple, just pair it out use it wired. Then press power button 3 times for gaming mode I noticed they're already very low latency watching Netflix (I don't game) even without gaming mode

More neutral, no ANC. I like ATH better, it's audio way more clear, not muffled like the Sony which is very drowned in bass. Some people just prefer that heavy bass because they can't discern quality sound

is soundcore better?

I really love my k371 (wired version) but since the BT version is several years old it uses an obsolete BT chip and I've read that it's pretty bad, bad connectivity, and bad sound quality and different than it wired version. I don't know if this is truth as I haven't heard the wireless one. But I would really, really love an updated version, AKG K371BT2 would be incredible

wired will always b superior to wireless@@residentzero

I have them and I also listen to heavy music. They play very well, but some songs lose their power. Order, listen and rate.

Why would you want wireless to sit down in front of your computer and play games, lol. Gaming is one of the few situations where wireless is less convenient because you're not moving at all.

@@Jake-bt3fc u cant understand…thats a fake comment

@@Jake-bt3fc very true. Personally I hate wires. My headset, mouse, and keyboard are all wireless. But yeah definitely no reason to go wireless when sitting at your desk all day.

Just get new earcups, I get mine from Thomann, no biggie they are worth it 😉

It's here!!

Ya! Could do a mod mic

@@9to5toyswhich one you reccomend?

It doesn't come with one, but you could add a mod mic or something similar.

5.0.

No

no

nah xm4 is better same as xm5

@@fallenscsl i am asking about this audio technica model audio quality

If you want sound stage get open back headphones Also, the XM4's obviously will have a better sound stage, they are more detailed and have larger earcups.

@@Raju-hu9su it would have to be better sound quality wise b/c those Xm4's sound very veiled, almost muffled @ times. I think Sony was going after ' gadgetry ' more than a great sound signature, but their new Xm5's are much better according to th reviews.🍻

everything is better than wh-1000xm4...u buy those for features and comfort...they are average at best in soundquality

no

@@Makai_Reacts oh yeah. That makes sense. That’s probably the problem

Yes

Hey a LED light sticker cover

the M50X sounds closer to the original M50 with a bit of added clarity/highs. Its increased clarity due to the drivers and its V-shaped "musical" sound signature has pros and cons: pros being increased clarity at the expense of bad files sounding bad especially pop music. If you are using MP3s of pop music off the Internet you are better off with the flatter and less-revealing M40X. Meanwhile, if you have higher-quality files, especially ones with strings, female vocals, and better-mastered music, the M50X will invigorate your desire and search for those tiny little details. The M70X pushes even further with a flat version of the M50X. Pop music really dies but piano, strings, orchestra, and even vintage music come alive. Those normally sound like transistor radio music on the M40X but they sound live with the M70X. For me, the M50X is my go to as it has a fun-sounding V-signature that is equally good on pop, EDM, strings, vocals, orchestra, and vintage music without sacrificing any one kind of genre completely so long as the music files are good and you have a great DAC like the AudioQuest Dragonfly. The M40X here is only now relagated to listening to pop-music and the M70X when I need to hear more from strings/piano vs the M50X. The FIIO BTA10 bluetooth adapter kind of makes it sound like an M40X though with the missing clarity, highs, and width. If you think the M50X is crap, I can recommend you try them again with a good DAC/amp (like the Dragonfly) and some non-pop music from CDs or FLACs. If you don't do those, then I can understand how the M50X (can) make pop music or low-quality files sound bad.

For me though, the M20X/M30X sounds a bit too muddied. Like listening through a wall compared to the M50X. Sounds a bit much like their street monitors series. TBF the M30X fared better when I used 128kbit pop music MP3s in my built-in DAC compared to my M50X. But the M30X fails for any sort of clarity when female vocals or strings are prominent in the music. For people looking to buy some first budget monitors, I steer them away from the M20X/M30X into something comparable but way cheaper like the OneOdio Pro10. For cheap, I can describe that one as sounding like the M40X/M50X combined with (some) muddiness in the M30X. A very nice first set for anyone starting out. Surprisingly, the sound also scales up when used with a good DAC (like the M40X/50X).
