As the premium ANC headphone market heats up, cheaper ANC headphones are getting better and better cause of the trickle down effect. And a good example of this are the new Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT’s. I think these are a pair of very well rounded headphones that perform great and have some very welcomed features. And if it wasn’t for their touch pad, I think these headphones would be perfect.

I’ve been using the SR50bt for about a week now and just wanted to mention something about the touch controls. At first I thought they were terrible but they are actually quite decent. When swiping up and down to change songs rather than using just the tip of my finger when I keep my finger flatter it works over 90% of the time.
I also found it hard to find the pause and volume up/down controls as they are in a pretty specific spot but by holding the touch control part of the ear cup with my thumb and middle finger first it makes it a whole lot easier to find them. They may have updated some firmware since the review but though this was worth mentioning.
Do you still using the sr50bts? I‘m thinking about to get these für 140€.
Hi. Are you using it 1 year ago? how it goes? are you recomended it? Whats youre opinion about it?
Your reviews are always clearly structured. Thanks a lot. Definitely considering this one. If it was a choice between this one and the m50x-bt which would you choose?
If you consider buying these read this. I bought these before having Audio-Technica ATH-M40x wired headphones. Sound quality is somewhat similar, I may even enjoy the Sr50bt more for a punchier, slightly bassier sound. Not sure if the sound clarity is at the same level though. Sr50bt is way more comfortable for me. BUT there is a huge BUT! When on Bluetooth mode a hiss on the right earcup is present always! And this is not just for my pair but for every single one of them! Read the Amazon reviews... For any kind of calm or quiet listening the hiss is too much. When at home, I still choose a wire because the hiss makes me feel uncomfortable. This makes absolutely no sense for almost a 200$ headphone from such an established brand. I feel like they just did not care enough. I just don't understand why these reviews do not mention this.
just got mine yesterday, didnt encounter the hiss problem like you said. or do you have any song recommendation that would show the hiss really apparent?
It's common for BT headphones. Sennheiser 450BT has that white noise sound also. I think it's the Bluetooth chip.
@Gall - KFPear, in order to hear it just play any song and hit "mute". Easiest to do on a laptop I guess. I don't notice the hiss during songs though and it's also very dependent on your hearing sensitivity to it. Some people are more sensitive to higher frequencies, other to lower and so on.
@Okeano, I also have the M40x. Have had them for 7 years. Tip: the pleather will start to peel at some point (after ~5 years in my case). When that happens, besides opting for a new set of pads, you can take a toothbrush and carefully scrub off all the pleather material from the cups. You'll end up with nice, soft textile pads that are more breathable. The headband is trickier. I just peeled off the underside carefully.
Haven't noticed a hiss on my end. Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
@@oz33 Pads only cost $10-20 depending on the quality/construction so that's no problem if you take excellent care of them, but for $200 you SHOULD be taking care of them, right?
@@kiillabytez Hey there, I know this is posted 3 years ago but just wanted to say it is no conspiracy theory as I still use these headphones daily. For my use, I am using them wired always and I love them. But Bluetooth mode is just not comfortable for me because of the hiss and the radio transmission.
By the way, I have contacted Audio-Technica's support in UK about the hiss and this is what they replied: "The ‘noise’ that you can hear in the right ear of the headphones is quite plainly just the sound of the Bluetooth transmission. This is something that occurs in all Bluetooth headphones. That being said, it can be exaggerated, or more subtle depending on the connected device.
The delay in the hiss starting and stopping when you hit play/pause is the headphones’ gate cutting off the noise floor so you can’t hear it. It takes a little bit of time for the gate to start working due to the nature of its attack and release properties.
Due to all this, I can’t offer up a direct solution to reduce the amount of hiss you are hearing. But, as it varies from device to device, I would suggest pairing your headphones with other phones or laptops and seeing if you can hear a noticeable difference in noise level."
Great video. I picked them up a few days ago. As a lefty, I have no complaints of the position of the controls. It's refreshing. Finding the play/pause is my only small gripe. Absolutely love them and glad I waited patiently for months after their initial announcement in August. Totally worth it.
yeah, trying to find that Logo is a little tough too. But over all I really like them too
"Big head approved." Appreciated, thanks.
I prefer the controls on the left as a r-handed individual. It allows me to continue what I'm doing while controlling the set. I primarily use them for Studio work, and to have to remove my hand from the mouse to control the set would be a great inconvenience, and I believe the set was marketed towards someone who constantly uses their r-hand more than their left.
Does it really matter if these don't use USB-C's?
Micro usb gets damaged more easily and usb c last much much longer and nobody wants to use 4 types of cables to charge everything why it one : type c sells better too
@@solfuros7673 Thanks!
Not at all.
1 more cord and there are even short cords you can use that are a foot long or shorter
At this point, get a usb adapter to help mitigate the amount of cords around the house
ATH-M50xBT vs ATH-SR50BT which is better? In sound quality and which is more comfortable ?...which would u recommend.. And if noise canceling wasn't a priority.. Would u pick Ath Sr50bt or M50xbt over the Sony 1000xm3?
m50s are much better and sr50s look nicer in my opinion
How do these compare to the ath m50xbt in terms of sound quality?
Only tried it briefly but it is a leaner, brighter sound while M50xBT has a darker bassier sound.
These don't compare to m50xbt. I was really disappointed. the mx50xbt are far superior.
@@R0CKAFELLA depends what kind of music you listen to because for sound clarity the sth sr50bt are more crip and clear while the other 50 from what I know is more basy , but the high and mid-high might be better with the ath sr50bt while with yours it’s better for more ambiant stuff , sure thing is that next time I Won’t buy one with Bluetooth because I don’t use it
Superb pair of cans. The touch control system really irked me at first, but you soon get used to it. Though it's not as good as the touch controls on the Sonys, but the, in my opinion, vastly superior sound quality of the Sir 50s more than makes up for this.
We have exclusive reviewers like you for headphones, helping us out in buying as most people are into wireless headphones nowadays.. We need Sen Pxc 550 2, Bose qc 45 , Sony hear on 3 & Skull Crusher Anc now otherwise I will buy 1000xm3 in a few months !!
@Ezugo Obuekwe sadly, I just bought sony xm3, couldnt wait anymore
@Ezugo Obuekwe yea becuz ur reply made me think, i was like type c gonna take 1 more year to come ..so i bought what is no.1 currently ..this way no one would ever be able to buy anything if we wait for updates :(
@@Lymfoma You made a good call, still no USB c
*sony whxb900n or audiotechnica sr50bt????*
i followed ur advice since i mostly listens to hip hop music, and I love this headphone, thank you
How do these ATH SR50BTs compare to the Sony 1000XM3, in terms of sound quality?
so i have a question for those who are getting this right now, have any of you experienced whilst on a call, any crackling, and then all of the sudden it sounds like a grenade went off?
Im in the market for a set a headphones and this by far one of the better videos I seen on a set of headphones.. Theres just soo many options out there for headphones now... I want bluetooth but also want wired for music producing and mixing.. I now think I am just going to get a solid set of wired headphones.. and just get a cheaper bluetooth headset. the MicroUSB while it doesn't annoy more, but thinking about it.... those batteries die, they go bad, can become defective... can stop charging, port might go bad... etc.... All my bluetooth headphones I had over years have gone bad or stopped charging at some point.. Not saying that its because its micro usb its just batteries die. Now I just don't know what headset I am going to get lol. Great video.
In terms of ANC and sound performance, which one do you think the best between SR50BT and Sony XB900N? I like bass a lot but don't want it interfering the mid range and make the separation muddy. Wdyt?
yess, so do I. Pls give us answer bro.
@@Mas_Ardhie The XB900N sound like absolute GARBAGE. Their bass is wayyyy too much and the rest of the sound is very muffled. The highs and treble literally hurt your ears
Are these better than the ATH m50xbt
not a chance
of course these are, the m50x’s are horrible, and god forbid the bluetooth version
Are these better than the Sony 900n
Hey! Just got my pair of SR50BTs, and when listening to a bunch of different audio tracks they sound almost muddy. Not much better (if at all) than the earbuds that came with my S10+. Any clue as to what it might be? I turned off all of the Android sound processing to get the most natural sound possible. They just sound flat and muddy, not even neutral. I wouldn't describe it as detailed nor clean, like many others have stated.
It’s better than ath-m50xbt??
I own the non regular version of the ath-m50x and sr50bt and personally think the m50x have a slightly bassier richer sound which I prefer. The sr50bt are more suitable for my giant head and ears and still sound great though
no
Should i get the ath-SR50BT or the ANC700BT. I listen to music a lot and want one of these.
Thank you so much for the video. I just got them myself and I am very happy. They sound amazing.
good video, a question these or the sennheiser hd450bt?
Do they sound the same (more or less, considering Bluetooth compression) both wired and wireless? It's a concern 'cause most of the wireless headphones out there sound better wireless because they have an active eq changing the way the drivers sound, literally fixing the headphone so that wired sound garbage (like many Sony ANC headphones unfortunately)
Are they still any good in 21
As a left-hander, I'm convinced.
Left handers unite
Good for right handers too. I'm usually busy with that hand.
Hi,
I just saw your drone vid to the spark vs the mavic air. And i have a question, i can get the Spark with a Controller and an extra batterie for 429 euros. Or should i pay at least 700+ for the Mavic Air (not used, new then)
In the past i had a Mavic Pro but the drone got a Problem with the Video... (very bad Quality)
I love photographing in my free time and i have a bit experience with Videographics.
I want to travel with the drone, on beaches or in a city.
So yeah, idk. What u would buy in my situation? This offer from the spark or a used / new Air or even another drone?
Best regards from Germany ;)
Can anyone tell me the differences in sound between the ATH-MSR7b and the ATH-SR50BT?
¿Puede alguien decirme las diferencias en sonido entre los ATH-MSR7b y los ATH-SR50BT?
Supiste al final las diferencias? estoy entre los sr50bt o los dsr7bt
@@franciscocastaneda632
Pues no, ni idea. Tengo los ATH-MSR7b pero no los otros y sigo esperando saber si merecen o no más la pena los ATH-SR50BT.
What's stopping me from buying a "premium budget" BT headphone is the lack of USB c.
When do you think this feature will trickle down to budget headphones? I want to buy a pair and can wait a few months.
Sennheisers new hd 350bt and hd 450bt use usb c now.
Why isnt amazon stocking these. Also only 3 people purchased these on there. Whats the difference between all of them? Im seeing Sr5, 6, 50 etc
I just ordered one :) I did some researching around to compare specs, comfortability, and price within budget of other Audio Technica and Sony's XM3 and Bose's Quiet 35II. Since I prefer clarity over Noise Canceling I went with these.
The sequencing of your ANC test made no sense. Started out ok but I think something was lost in editing
@GYMCADDY Hey I have a question for you... I already have the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay h9i, and the headband is too large I can't even wear them comfortably unless I am still. I bought the ATH SR50BT because of one of your videos, and I can't tell much of a difference between the sound..... Possibly the h9i feels like the music comes from further away, possibly, only possibly. I'm not a super audiophile but I feel distortion easily. I am trying to figure out which one to keep. Could you help me? 1- the h9i has better materials, and the battery is removable so this device could potentially last me longer once the battery dies I can buy a new one and like new... More premium design etc...2- the ATH is almost 1/2 the price... it fits my head better. the materials are cheap and the touch controls are worse, and switching between devices...
But should i get this, JBL live 650BTNC's or skullcandy crusher wireless?
Nice review, in terms of sound and comfort, would I go with these ones or the Senns momentum 2.0 wireless (Hd1) you think?
+1
Does anyone make a neutral/accurate sounding BT headphone with AptX and USB-C?
Just got them and they sound amazing. Bass is only present when it should and clarity is so good. I never had any good over ear headphones before but from what I can say they sound very natural and accurate. I can literally hear so much detail in songs and exactly where voices are coming from. I don't have much experience with good headphones though so this is very subjective. The only thing they are missing is USB-C but that's a general problem for audiotechnica, my ATH-CKR55BT's don't have it either. (sry for bad english)
"They let you have a short conversation without taking your headphones off"---- take them off regardless!!!
Which one would you recommend between this and the sennheiser 450 BT??
which one did you choose and why?
@@jesusparra2333I didn't bougth any. I'll just wait for another one's that I like better.
Can the AT connect app allow turning off the touch panels? Can’t seems to find an answer on this.
I have these. I agree with all of your points, especially about the touch controls. The phones are fantastic, love the neutral sound, though they need some help below ~120 hertz. One thing, and you may not even know - I certainly didn't until reading the manual - it has two bluetooth codecs. A higher fidelity codec, and a lower latency codec. If you pair them to a windows computer, both will pop up in the bluetooth settings once paired, but only one will be active. Out of the box I believe they default to the quality setting.
how do these compared to the ATH-ANC900BT? they literally have the same price here in Japan
do youu think whch700n sony is better compared to this? or vice versa! pls help i need to buy a 200$ headphone hmm thanks!!
If your priority would be excellent wired sound and portability, but you would also want the option of wireless, would you recommend the Crossfade 2 Wireless aptX (at $248 new) or the SR50BT ($199)?
These. They fit better, have more features, and they Bluetooth connection is better
@@GYMCADDY Thanks for your reviews and your reply! 👍
What I look for in headphones
Comfort
Bass
Weight/ how bulky are they
No sound leakage
I haven’t found a perfect headphones yet
I tried Bose ( missing bass ) , Sony 950n1 (bulky) and Sony 650 (uncomfortable)
And how did these fit your criteria?
Xb900?
how do i turn the volume up though? the touch controls are weird lol
This headphone vs ath anc700bt which better ?
+GYMCADDY Can you please tell us which of these have better sound quality - SR50BT or the M50xBT?
Kalyan M хуй его знает братан
That's subjective
M50xBT by a long shot.
Any one, where I can buy the earpads replacement? or it work with the other type pads replacements?
Does this headphone have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
Yeah
Need a BL over ear headphone with GOOD mic... Any recommendations?
Sony Wh-xm004's are slightly above average
shud i get the sr50bt or the m50xbt cos i love good bass but also the best sound quality
So, which one you got? :)
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS APP?!?! I WANT IT!!
How does it compare to the Sony 700ns?
Gym caddy they releasing the new version of these would love to see ya review em... ima grab em anc transparency ldac and usb type c
This or the PXC-550 ii of sennheiser?
the cups look kinda smallish though.. why can't they make cups better ffs, the Senheiser 555's had the ultimate size ear cups
Nice review my friend but the item is missing from Amazon unfortunately !
How is the sound in wired mode?
I want headphones to listen to music in long trips, which one should i get: the Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT or The audio technica ath-m50xbt
Sr50bt are better for over all casual use compared to the mx50bt
Do they sound as good though?
The ath-m50xbt are superior to Ath-sr50BT. They don't compare when it comes to sound. I just bought Ath-sr50BT becuase I wanted the hear through option, but was disappointed in the sound quality. I'm returning them asap.
This or the hear on 2?
IS IT REAL LEATHER ATHSR50BT AUDIO TECHNICA?
Should I get this or the Sony WH1000XM3?
So, which one you got? :)
@@diana.niki. Sony one
Dam I didn’t think the mic would sound that crappy lol
4 years into ownership of these, very light use, only at home and the ear cups completely disintegrated. This is way too little lifetime.
Microphone got awesome Noise cancelling, so much so that I cant hear your voice too
Does anyone know if these are getting released in Australia?
xTheAussieMCx They are at jb hi fi now 🙌
They are at jbhifi and on audio technica website
Is the bass tight and punchy? Please tell.
Just got a pair for 250$cad love it best pair at this price
Here we go boi🤘
Gr8 review,,, will be back,,, thanks for your work!!!
Review Edifier W860 if possible heard it's amazing.
Is there a mic on these headphones
nvm
u should buy a mic
Can anyone give me recommendation between this (Im lookin for all around headphone that i can enjoyed for music and watching videos and for comfort) sr50 bt from audio technica, sony ch 700 n and sony h ear on 2, fyi in my country all of them have similar price around 200 dollar so im torn to pick one of them . Thanks
my man buy yourself some speakers you can do all of the things you want and are 100% more comfortable then putting anything in your head/ears, you want to travel with them ? no problem take them with you on the go and blast them full volume in the airplane/train/car. No need to thank me just giving you the best advise you have ever heard.
Very nice Review! Now I‘m glad that i bought the xm3 for 279€. I think, only the design and sound is better at these one.
how are they for instrumental music?
Anything that has a more or less flat sound signature will work great for more complex music.
Where they will falter is with really pumped up music, where some might feel like the music sounds dead.
Linner nc 80 an nc 90 do have those ambient abilties for under $200
So not have mic?
Hi! Would you recommend these over momentums M2 AEBT?
good review!
How can I buy these in Canada ?
Try Amazon
Please review the v moda codex edition!
Microphone test 8:44
On sale for $120 get them nowww!!!
Amazing sound, HORRIBLE bluetooth! My friends cant even hear me when I make calls. I'm pissed at the wireless, but when wired theyre perfect
Same here, seems incredible that they can make such a nice sounding set and a crap mic
Marius Popa any feedback on the sound quality over Bluetooth? I don’t care about the microphone personally. Thanks
can I connect to ps5?
Good video!
Great vid
That is....Montreal?
I am ambi-dextrous so the side it is one doesn't really effect me
Are these beber tan hear on 2?
im starting to not like the H.ear On 2's anymore cause they are so freaking bulky now. So I would recommend these over the he.ear on 2 if you want a neutral sound signature
Would you pick this if I dont mind them being bulky?
Controls on the left are perfect, my right hand is always busy with something.
Idk man, I can see where you’re coming from, but I tend to use my left hand as much as my right on my phone. But if you mean listening to music and doing some other shit, like vacuuming for example, then yeah, my right is more involved
Why not an binaural ANC test over here? just the cold facts. not an opion has to be a guide.
don’t buy these i bought them yesterday and they already broke. i can only hear out of one side
MAN, YOU ARE A FAN OF USB-C
It's the future
@@GYMCADDY yep, guess so.
