A sensible person offering sensible opinions in an accessible way. Why aren't all reviews like this? I'm off to buy some Audio Technica M50BT2 cans now. Thanks!
Great review. I own the Audio Technica M50xBT2, and I highly recommend them! If you choose these, you should be very happy for a long time. They sound great and are very durable. Once, while riding my motorcycle, the wind blew them away onto the street. I thought, “that’s it, they’re done” but no - they’re still working fine to this day!
hey that was useful! thanks for the vid, really appreciate your thoughts on each headphone, especially since I'm deciding between them myself and you've helped with that decision. for what its worth i dont mind you walking around, felt like i was being taken for a tour, like a guest in your house and you seemed natural and real, vs scripted. also good points. i like honest reviews. anyway, thanks again!
Thanks! And you might like to know that I officially committed to the Audio Technicas and returned the others. They are the lowest frills of the bunch (the Sennheisers were very tempting because of the quality feel) but the sound is just great - and that's what they're for.
Thank you for the hilariously honest review, you helped me decide! I went with the M50xBT2 (~220AUD/$150USD on sale) after using a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 for 5 years. I miss some of the features and noise cancelling but the sound and battery life are incredible and more than makes up for it :)
I watched a ton of vids on headphones, many you can tell are professionally edit super high quality studio likes. However, your vid has the best personality and real world real time review of all three! Loved this, just got my M50xBT2s and like them so much bought another for my sister for her birthday. Well done vid!
WOW! I literally just went through the same exact journey and also chose the M50xBT2. Got them two days ago and I have still not turned them off or charged them. I got them a brown headband protector, with fluffy brown velour headphones. I also went and got custom-designed protectors from Skinwraps, for them to give them that wooden look. And I absolutely agree. The look of those more expensive modern headphones does look stupid. When I get headphones, I want to look like a WWII bomber pilot or a smuggler from Star Wars. A man of action. Not trying to look like some bland IBM/Google millennial employee with high-water pants and a step-counter watch.
1 year later, I found this as my friends and I were debating similar headphones in the Philippines. This was adorable and relatable commentary that felt very relatable to our own concerns. Thanks for this video, Gabriella!
Thank for the review and the whole video :) I wish I had seen it a bit earlier as I was choosing between these three. I too went with M50x, they sound great and have no issues with latency etc.
It was helpful. I went with ath-m50xbt2 as well. I really like your energy and flow. I am pretty similar i think. Nice to know that there are someone somewhere in the world that has similar 1st wotrlds problems and for who details matters and because of that it is hard to take decisions. I think in the end it is a win for me. I am very happy for a long time with my purchases. Also, you have beautiful hair! If you feel good with vlogging, totally stick to it. All the best!
I now have both the Sennheisers and the Audio Technicas. Sennheisers have the best sound, but they do cut out and I had problems on calls. They keep going on hold on calls. I really bought them for drum practice, because the sound and noise cancelling is excellent. Just bought the Audio Technica for a pair that I can make calls on and doesn't cut out. The momentums are really cool and sound amazing, but they have some glitches for sure!
Your hair is great whatever way you wear it. It has a nice grayish look that I cannot deny. I really think you should do more reviews because I can't find this comparison any where else. I loved it because it was short because you talk fast lolz. Short neat and informative.
Gabriella, thank you very much for the video, for your comments and opinions! It was decisive when choosing my new headphones! I bought the Audio-Technica M50xBT2, I am very satisfied! Excellent build quality, Bluetooth works perfectly and the main one has great sound! - Português: Gabriella, muito obrigado pelo vídeo, pelo seus comentários e opiniões! Foi decisivo para escolher meu novo fone de ouvido! Comprei o Audio-Technica M50xBT2, estou muito satisfeito! Excelente qualidade de construção, o Bluetooth funciona pefeitamente e o principal tem um ótimo som!
Thank you, finally a reviewer who values the music over noise cancellation. I feel like we are having the same frustration over this choice lol. Do you notice any difference when using the 3.5 mm aux?
Gab, are you making more videos? I’d love to hear what music you’re into and suggestions for my music education?! How do you find the outside sound proofing for the ATs? The only hesitation I have is no noise cancelling (but do I really need that?)
@@gabriellalawrence1065 True, better than decent. They are the best Bluetooth headphones I’ve owned. In my mind, I was comparing them with my old school wired headphones, with an amp and all. :P
I was all set up to purchase the Momentum cans till I watched your video about the BT problem, the M50X-BT2 were my second choice, I'm now confused, any suggestions would be grateful. BTW, I keep changing my mind after watching hundreds of reviews about headphones.
I got the non Bluetooth version of the M50x last week and so far I'm extremely impressed with the sound quality. I wanted decent overears for when I'm sitting down, relaxing with my Music and so Bluetooth wasn't an important consideration. Bluetooth and wandering around the house or going out is more than adequately handed by my on ear Marshall Major iv's.....talk about battery life and a very good sound!!! Interestingly, I was expecting the usual Audio-Technica branded "pleather" pouch featured here, which wasn't an issue as these aren't going out and about with me. However, they actually came with a decent hardshell case. I put that down to them being an exclusive Amazon version in Gun metal (more of a dull Silver). That maybe worth consideration for those that want decent protection for their headphones when travelling, I can't see why the Bluetooth version would have a different case.
Hey nice review . How's the bass response on the Audio Technica? Ive listened to the Sony one and thought they were a little on the muddy side. I know it's subjective , but I normally prefer clarity on the highs and enough punch on the lows and mids but not so overpowering like some of the Sony ones out there
Love your First TH-cam Video! Very helpful and you're funny off the cuff delivery was a pleasure... I'm also thinking of the Marshall Monitor IIs. Have you listened to the Marshalls? Thanks!!
Hi there! I'll admit I did not try the Marshalls, but based on the reviews I should have - they sound like a comparable alternative. I am still perfectly happy with my ATs - no complaints re sound/comfort/ease of use. If you compare the two, let me know what you think. After spending so much time deliberating, it occurred to me that I knew I would keep the ATs right away. I had to go through the process, but they were the "right ones" from the moment I put them on. I hope you have a similar experience.
thank you it was very useful as i choosing now between Audio-Technica and sony, and most reviewers on youtube looks like they can be sponsored by companies so i don't really trust them
Niiice honesty!! I also dive to deep to often. And than i see your vid and am happy that you do too. I allready decided for m50xbt2, but didnt receive the unit yet, still hooked to these videos. Jeeeze. I have a little different usecase: i edit videos with sound sometimes and need a pair of mixing headphones but not the super pro kind of budget and need. The bt thing is just rabbithole addon. I could have taken m50x for half the price, but you know the game... how do you feel about your now, one year later?
i'm on this channel cause i wanna upgrade the ATH-M50X, i use them from maybe 10 years, they start to stink but the sound is the same. What should be my upgrade? Another M50x?
This review was FAR better than others I searched for. I wanted an honest, real life opinion on the ATs (not just a feature review and someone reading the tech specs to me). Don’t listen to the naysayers in your comments. Make more videos!
Hey thanks for the insightful review and comparison! I was wondering how do the ATs feel in terms of comfort after a few months of using them? I'm a bit worried about them hurting the top of my head after wearing them for long periods of time.
Honestly, I don't wear them for hours on end, though I think they have conformed to my head some in the time that I have owned them. When I first put them on, I am very "aware" of them, but that quickly goes away. 2 hours is about my max for intense listening anyway, so it's not much of an issue.
Everyone say that AT are the one you need. I see you were in the same spot trying to pick one. Btw they say at are a little stiff at the begginig but get softer by the time. Im creating music and I need something that the sound is totally flat and pure, so my music will sound as created and not different on other devices.
It's not really flat. If anything M50xbt2 is kinda represent what normal speakers/headphones are. A bit color here and there. M40x is a bit flat compare to m50xbt2, but still not total flat. You might want to check out something from Beyerdynamic if you need flat.
@@gilgameshlfx7006 mmm I bought them and try them. They are very normal (flat). No eq at all. So if you need extreme sound V eq is needed. So pretty flat for my ear.
@@flyingroads3498 I had one too. In fact, I had both M50xBT2 and M40x. Several people already put M50x and M40x on graph. They are not really flat. The issue really is most speakers, headphones out there, consumer's speakers/headphones are on V. Which kinda gives the impression that M50x sound flat, but if we put it to the test, they aren't. They aren't bad studio monitor, they sound more natural than most consumer's headphones, but to say it's flat is kinda overestimating.
This was useful 😊 I'm turn between the m50s and sony ch720n. The Sonys are cheaper and I'm sure they don't sound as well. But they are lighter and gets good reviews.
Thanks for the comparison. Did you test the latency on PC in videos like youtube? I'm lookin for universal wireless headphones and gravitating to Audio Technica. They have low latency mode in the app. Did you test that?
Hi - I'll admit I did not. I only interested in these headphones for listening to music. I have fiddled around with the app, but much of what I like about the ATs is that I get a pretty pure, neutral listening experience. I have a feeling that if I were using headphones for videos, etc., I wouldn't care as much about the nuances of the sound. So many headphones are really good, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference in that instance.
Gab since you did Audio-Technica why not try the new ones ATH-S300 BT with noise cancellation, 90 hours battery , 130$ and yes we would love to see a walking review 😅 take care !!
wow u have a beautiful rich aura I love your content :), oh n by the way I've found this super cathartic musician that is so good I can play it all day every day for years, if you try on TH-cam "Rec Archive - Tame Impala Innerspeaker Official Demos" it'll be the YT compressed version though it still sounds nice, but if you enjoy n want the uncompressed they have an Innerspeaker 10th anniversery album that's released containing all of these amazing demos in flac quality, he's a platinum record artist so this isn't an advert don't worry :D, I just think it could possibly be one of your new favourite music (it's incredibly healing, he's done mushrooms n it's astronomically aligned more or something because not many people sound like this lol).
@@gabriellalawrence1065 according to the AT website, it's faux leather and is suitable for vegans; at least that's what I found out. Sennheiser M3 uses sheepskin tho
I’m gonna go with yes, though I think when some people think of punchy bass they think of a bass heavy sound. In these headphones, there’s good attack and the bass cuts through, but it doesn’t linger too long and isn’t bass heavy. Exactly what I wanted.
Just to let you know each return you make the product value goes down almost half. Will be sold has refurbished if that. If the seller is small you are basically taking money out of their pockets. I avoid returning stuff as much as i can.
@Wiktor Łyziński So to test them you just buy a bunch and return them? You literally have to lie about the return reason every time. Or you can go to BestBuy and test them out.Or watch TH-cam reviews. It's all good until you start ruining small businesses.
MY PHILLIPS SHP 9500 I hook up my little fiio portable Bluetooth receiver to them so I can go wireless with them and they sound amazing - I'd the athm50x wired headphones before and loved them - now I'm really considering getting the ATHM50XaBT2 IN Lantern Glow Metallic Orange - I'd Love And I Mean Love My Sony WH 1000XM3 - How would you win me over to getting the ATHM50XBT2 ?
Great review ! I appreciate a lot !! 😃 But, can you stop walking in your house when doing your videos? It’s annoying for us because the image always move on and on… Thank you
@@gabriellalawrence1065 no worry :) You said that you choose the audio technica over the M3 and Sony? Why? They sound better? I have the xm4 from Sony and i love them. But, i want to buy something else… more… wow !!! (When i listen to them) I bought the skullcandy crusher evo… wow ! My god the bass! Those are for the gym :) I bought the Bose 700… what Bose did to their headphones?!?! I remember the time when i sold Bose products… they sound so good. With my iphone 12, they sounds too low (volume). Even with the EQ, i can’t get a good neutral sound. I bought the jbl under armour project the rock… returned them because they are not comfortable (but sounds very good ). I don’t need the rock to train, i’m better than the rock 😁😁 So, i look for the audio technica (the orange one 😁)… the ath-50xmbt2 But i am wondering if they sound good, better than the sony’s xm4. I know that they don’t have noise cancelling, but i don’t care, i juste want good sound :) I have listened to the M3 and the sound was very good. But i look like an alien with those one haha…. I just don’t like the comfort… they are heavier and the earcup are less comfortable than my Sony’s xm4. So, if you can’t give me your thoughts on this i would appreciate 😀😀 Ohhh by the way: sorry for my bad english (i speak french here in Quebec city 🙂)…. But i understand everyone who speaks in english. Thank you very much and have a nice day :)
@@Patrickmathieu0482 The Sonys are very easy to listen to but not very exciting. Good enough, but not great for music, and that's the point. The ATs are crisp! The sound is well defined and nice and neutral. They are exciting to listen to and you can listen critically. They are actually pretty comparable to the Sennheisers but I think I have counted those out because of reliability issues with the bluetooth.
I found zero information about sound characteristics in comparison of these. First I was yeeeeah, she is music critique person, it will be best possible review. What we get? Woman running all around her apartment talking very very generally. Nothing really important said here.. Sadly..
@@gabriellalawrence1065 No offense, but only your personal opinion without any valid data is not much helpful. But since you have 3 different headphones which belongs to same category, there really was a room for nice head to head comparison. For example if you measure earpads in diameter, or if you can describe build quality better. Also I did not hear a thing if they can be used on a cable,because many BT headphones over head can be used "passively" with flat battery which is something you want to know before you buy BUT many shops (hard to believe right?) dont mention that. I have AudioTechnica mx40 for example and its very flat by sound. Hard to looking for some juicy punchy bass even I prefer well balanced sound, these ones are really flat and equalizer does not work well for me either. So other people will be glad to here from you (next time maybe) sound comparison from one to another. "Crisp sound" is not saying much, because you expect really good sound if you buying headphones for that kind off money (at least I for sure). Basically Iam trying to solve which one from this 3 I want to buy and I had high expectations about this video,but I dont know much more, so I decide nothing🙄 Thanks for your reaction (really), be well and I wish you all best to upcoming new year 2024.
Luckily, I'm not a serious TH-camr (though I am considering talking about my new 1985 Mercedes 300D - impressions, regrets, etc. ) but if I make a video again I'll do my best to keep still.
@@gabriellalawrence1065 Nope, walk, walk, walk! It didn't affected your mic anyway. I was quite happy to see a video of someone walking around telling stuff. Which mic did you use by the way?

Lol bike ride? I was wondering if they are comfortable?? Also the warranty on the bluetooth is for one but the wired ones has 3 years warranty

Great review! I love the deep dive into all of the details needed in picking out a pair of headphones. Very charming.
Thank you! I hope I've helped you in your own headphone search.
WOW! I literally just went through the same exact journey and also chose the M50xBT2. Got them two days ago and I have still not turned them off or charged them. I got them a brown headband protector, with fluffy brown velour headphones. I also went and got custom-designed protectors from Skinwraps, for them to give them that wooden look.
And I absolutely agree. The look of those more expensive modern headphones does look stupid. When I get headphones, I want to look like a WWII bomber pilot or a smuggler from Star Wars. A man of action. Not trying to look like some bland IBM/Google millennial employee with high-water pants and a step-counter watch.

wow u have a beautiful rich aura I love your content :), oh n by the way I've found this super cathartic musician that is so good I can play it all day every day for years, if you try on TH-cam "Rec Archive - Tame Impala Innerspeaker Official Demos" it'll be the YT compressed version though it still sounds nice, but if you enjoy n want the uncompressed they have an Innerspeaker 10th anniversery album that's released containing all of these amazing demos in flac quality, he's a platinum record artist so this isn't an advert don't worry :D, I just think it could possibly be one of your new favourite music (it's incredibly healing, he's done mushrooms n it's astronomically aligned more or something because not many people sound like this lol).
helpful but also really funny, ty for the good 9 mins 😂
This is so helpful Mam.... thank u!
Thanks this was helpful!
FYI the Audio Technica does have leather on the headband.
Even better! I thought it was fake.
@@gabriellalawrence1065 according to the AT website, it's faux leather and is suitable for vegans; at least that's what I found out. Sennheiser M3 uses sheepskin tho
Very useful. Feels honest as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Good choice
This is so funny you remind me almost exactly of my mom!
She must be pretty cool;)
Do the audio technicas have punchy bass?
I’m gonna go with yes, though I think when some people think of punchy bass they think of a bass heavy sound. In these headphones, there’s good attack and the bass cuts through, but it doesn’t linger too long and isn’t bass heavy. Exactly what I wanted.
Just to let you know each return you make the product value goes down almost half. Will be sold has refurbished if that. If the seller is small you are basically taking money out of their pockets. I avoid returning stuff as much as i can.
Not too worried about Sony! But I hear you…
@Wiktor Łyziński So to test them you just buy a bunch and return them? You literally have to lie about the return reason every time. Or you can go to BestBuy and test them out.Or watch TH-cam reviews. It's all good until you start ruining small businesses.
MY PHILLIPS SHP 9500 I hook up my little fiio portable Bluetooth receiver to them so I can go wireless with them and they sound amazing - I'd the athm50x wired headphones before and loved them - now I'm really considering getting the ATHM50XaBT2 IN Lantern Glow Metallic Orange - I'd Love And I Mean Love My Sony WH 1000XM3 - How would you win me over to getting the ATHM50XBT2 ?
Hey that was useful
Glad to help. I did end up keeping the ATs and have no regrets.
Gotta look cool
IMHO, cool order on these goes 1. Sennheiser, 2. AT, 3. Sony
@@gabriellalawrence1065 I agree.. but I also own two pairs of the AT. Sony never had a chance
The audio technical the only one of these u would consider audiophile territory. The rest r rubish
Great review ! I appreciate a lot !! 😃
But, can you stop walking in your house when doing your videos? It’s annoying for us because the image always move on and on…
Thank you
Thanks! Yes, I know I need to stay still. It’s distracting. I always pace when I talk but I need to get over it. I’m new to this!
@@gabriellalawrence1065 no worry :)
You said that you choose the audio technica over the M3 and Sony? Why? They sound better?
I have the xm4 from Sony and i love them. But, i want to buy something else… more… wow !!! (When i listen to them)
I bought the skullcandy crusher evo… wow ! My god the bass! Those are for the gym :)
I bought the Bose 700… what Bose did to their headphones?!?! I remember the time when i sold Bose products… they sound so good. With my iphone 12, they sounds too low (volume). Even with the EQ, i can’t get a good neutral sound.
I bought the jbl under armour project the rock… returned them because they are not comfortable (but sounds very good ).
I don’t need the rock to train, i’m better than the rock 😁😁
So, i look for the audio technica (the orange one 😁)… the ath-50xmbt2
But i am wondering if they sound good, better than the sony’s xm4. I know that they don’t have noise cancelling, but i don’t care, i juste want good sound :)
I have listened to the M3 and the sound was very good. But i look like an alien with those one haha…. I just don’t like the comfort… they are heavier and the earcup are less comfortable than my Sony’s xm4.
So, if you can’t give me your thoughts on this i would appreciate 😀😀
Ohhh by the way: sorry for my bad english (i speak french here in Quebec city 🙂)…. But i understand everyone who speaks in english.
Thank you very much and have a nice day :)
@@Patrickmathieu0482 The Sonys are very easy to listen to but not very exciting. Good enough, but not great for music, and that's the point. The ATs are crisp! The sound is well defined and nice and neutral. They are exciting to listen to and you can listen critically. They are actually pretty comparable to the Sennheisers but I think I have counted those out because of reliability issues with the bluetooth.
@@gabriellalawrence1065 I have exact same problem, and I simply can't stand on one place when talking with someone.
I found zero information about sound characteristics in comparison of these. First I was yeeeeah, she is music critique person, it will be best possible review. What we get? Woman running all around her apartment talking very very generally. Nothing really important said here.. Sadly..
Yeah - I’m not a true audiophile and don’t know the technical terms, but I like what I like. Sorry it wasn’t helpful for you.
@@gabriellalawrence1065 No offense, but only your personal opinion without any valid data is not much helpful. But since you have 3 different headphones which belongs to same category, there really was a room for nice head to head comparison.
For example if you measure earpads in diameter, or if you can describe build quality better. Also I did not hear a thing if they can be used on a cable,because many BT headphones over head can be used "passively" with flat battery which is something you want to know before you buy BUT many shops (hard to believe right?) dont mention that. I have AudioTechnica mx40 for example and its very flat by sound. Hard to looking for some juicy punchy bass even I prefer well balanced sound, these ones are really flat and equalizer does not work well for me either. So other people will be glad to here from you (next time maybe) sound comparison from one to another. "Crisp sound" is not saying much, because you expect really good sound if you buying headphones for that kind off money (at least I for sure). Basically Iam trying to solve which one from this 3 I want to buy and I had high expectations about this video,but I dont know much more, so I decide nothing🙄 Thanks for your reaction (really), be well and I wish you all best to upcoming new year 2024.
Hey, next time when you want to make new video - pls, just sit down.
Ma'am please stop walking around.... We don't need no tour of your home. Just sit down, please. I'm getting dizzy.
Luckily, I'm not a serious TH-camr (though I am considering talking about my new 1985 Mercedes 300D - impressions, regrets, etc. ) but if I make a video again I'll do my best to keep still.
@@gabriellalawrence1065 Nope, walk, walk, walk! It didn't affected your mic anyway. I was quite happy to see a video of someone walking around telling stuff. Which mic did you use by the way?
WH-1000XM3 are beating the m5's and m4's all around the board even sennheiser cannot compete with the xm3's
Cheap plastic can't fold
