The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 is probably the only headphones most of us will ever need. I use my first gen (ATH-M50xBT) for everything from Bluetooth audio, to gaming and music production.

I had some shit hyperx headphones for work… No one could hear me on it’s mic and I had issues hearing them.

So I bought a $30 mic and a boom arm… And now I’m using my ath-m50x for audio through a USB DAC.

It’s sad that they are reduced to that on a daily basis… but my work life is so much better.

Amazing headphones for every use

I’m on my third set of ear pads for my ATH-M50x. Now the headband foam needs replacing since I’ve worn them so much lol.

Pretty great headphones. I gotta wonder if the ones above it (ATH-M60x and ATH-M70x) sound noticably better or if there are diminishing returns, since the ATH-M50x already sound great.

how long have you had them for, to need to replace the ear pads? i’ve had mine for a bit over a year and they still look perfect

Got the headphones Feb. 2016

1st pad replacement around 2019 sometime

2nd pad replacement Aug. 2023
