Thanks to many very well-regarded ergonomic improvements, this new version of the Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT is proving to be a real pleasure to use on a daily basis. In the end, it doesn’t lack much to be close to the best nomadic helmets on the market: a slightly more detailed reproduction and, to a lesser extent, a more careful design and a little more insulation would undoubtedly have opened the door to it. gate of the ultimate star. Don’t get me wrong though: this ATH-M50xBT2 is still an excellent choice for anyone who wants to buy portable Bluetooth headphones without active noise reduction.
