Good job!

[@fangsoffuego]

I bought my bt2's for christmas last year when i wanted my first pair of bluetooth headphones, since then i've gotten really into monitoring/recording thru audio courses in college, up until watching this vid i'd assumed the bt2's were just like the m50x/m40x's but worse since they were bluetooth but i honestly really like the sound plus the bluetooth connection is very convinient

[@Vespyr_]

If you just want one headphone for everything, the M50x are much better. They swivel in both directions. They don't feel like they're going to break if you happen to lay them on the wrong side and put weight on them. Much easier to pack and toss around.

[@stephenstalter2481]

I have four pairs of AT headphones and my M40X kill all of the others. I absolutely love them and would buy them again in a heartbeat.

[@6moon18]

Thanks

[@damylafferty]

gracias amigo

[@quackgarage9551]

I have much more expensive stuff but i'm still using my good and old M40x to this day (with the HM5 pads lately). Very well balanced and the tonality is great, the only downsize are the technicalities (which are mediocre since it's pretty claustrophobic and the soundstage is almost non-existent) but hey, can't ask much in that regard from a pair of closed studio monitors. Overall, they're freaking good.

[@SianaGearz]

My fave deep bass track might be SECAM by Oizo. Normally it sounds just fine, but if it hits just right, it can be an outright orgasmic experience.

[@trunks1414]

Will the cable for the m40x that you linked in the description work for the m50xbt2? They have an option for 3.4mm jack

[@chuckolatte600]

mmm tough to tell. While the m50xbt2 do use a simple 3.5mm cable, it needs a thin port that can go deep enough. For some reason AT decided to make the port really deep...

[@riflemanwilq5343]

I have both of these, and I think the M40x are more neutral, which most would consider better for monitoring

[@joeydelmarsjr.646]

m40x are flatter than 50x

[@alpay389]

i think he meant flat with the word neutral.

[@riflemanwilq5343]

@@alpay389 flat line on the equalizer, yes I meant exactly that as "neutral", while the M50x seem to have a slightly more defined V shape

[@TheMalkavianPrince]

Curious how many sets of m40x you've had, cus I'm on my 3rd set, snd they're the 2n one to have a hinge crap out, and each one crapped out faster than the last.. My first set lasted nearly 3 years, my second set nearly 2, this one barely 1..

[@notcloudology]

OMG RIHGT? Audio Technica headphones sound great and everything but build quality sucks!! I'm on my third pair, I choose M50X just to avoid the hinge failure design but if they disappoint me even harder. I'll never wear Audio Technica again.

[@ajdazac]

Hey bro! Which one do you prefer both to produce and to enjoy? The ath m40x, ath m50x or ath m50xbt2? The latter with cable

[@soothsayerslunk1]

The 40x is good for monitoring especially if you’re a newbie. The 50x is good for casual music enjoyment. Just my personal opinion 😅

[@hxperactive]

the m50xs have a flatter frequency response than the m40xs, but the m50xbt’s have a slightly v-shaped curve which doesn’t stray *too* far, but it’s noticeable therefore, i’d say the m40x is good for producers on a budget, and the regular m50x’s are ever-so-slightly better. the m50xbt2 on the other hand is meant for casual listening, but it can be used for mixing if you’re aware of the frequency curve and take it into account. note that i don’t have personal experience with these headphones, i just used the frequency response graph as a guide. (i, myself, am looking for headphones that i can use both in the studio and outside, and i am considering the m50xbt2’s as an option)

[@soothsayerslunk1]

@@hxperactive i actually bought the m50xbt2 recently I’m enjoying them for on the go music listening. I also got the m60x I’m really loving these for my at home use

[@TheAvatarVV]

go for 40x, they are way better, not even close

[@soothsayerslunk1]

@@TheAvatarVV ngl but the 40’s are good just depends on the use. There’s no hate on them

[@lelikskate]

Is there any difference in the sound between m50x bt and classic m50x ?

[@LuciferArc1]

Yes. The original m50x has bloated bass that bleeds into the mid range and sounds muddy as hell. Do not buy the original. Buy the bt2 or newer m50x model

[@chuckolatte600]

oh man, that sucks. but yeah, go for the BT2 model at this point cause it gives you the flexibility of using BT!

[@joeydelmarsjr.646]

@@LuciferArc1 m50 and m50x are still not great m40x are better

[@LuciferArc1]

@@joeydelmarsjr.646 nah. The Bluetooth second gen is fine. I own both. I have an original m50x. The tuning between it and the Bluetooth second gen are different. They cleaned up the tuning

[@LuciferArc1]

@joeydelmarsjr.646 my m40x has hm5 pads and I do like them more but m50xbt2 are great on the go headphones for a fun sound while I'm busy

[@asadb1990]

Does the m50x bt2 work wired without the cable.

[@residentzero]

Lol you're joking right? "Wired without cable" 😂😂😂 "wired" means "with cable", it would be impossible to have wired without cable, that is called "wireless"

[@bobby.palacios]

@@residentzero Laughing at someone who is genuinely asking for help is terrible. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to understand their question. Anyways to answer the question, they work wirelessly via bluetooth, but also allow you to use them with a detachable cable. Another benefit is that, although the bluetooth requires them to be charged, if the battery is dead, you can still use them wired.

[@stevebruce1339]

@@bobby.palacios Hello, does the headphone battery discharge when listening to music via a cable connected to the computer?

[@TheAvatarVV]

40x trashes 50x, done.. not even close, unless you enjoy muffled sound, they sound like from the underwater

[@zorilla0]

This is such a common observation that at this point, I have to wonder if there is a tuning difference between the wired M50x and the M50xBT/BT2 because my BT2s have been great. Midbass is ever so slightly elevated when brand new (by only +1-2 dB over my preference, and it eases up over time as the earpads and headband relax). Sub-bass is tight and articulated and the highs are detailed. They sound exactly the same when run passively, so I don't think they're using any DSP trickery like some others like Bose are.
