Thanks for watching this! Cheers 🤙 and happy you found this useful.

Thanks for watching and the props, Olivier! Hope you come back for more of the good stuff😁🍻 Which headphones are you cross-shopping with?

@@gearupaaron Hey Gearupaaron, I appreciate your reply! My selection of headsets was a bit dismeasured in terms of price due to my needs. I own a studio where I'm producing, recording, and also playing guitar/synth/piano/drums. The real deal to me was to find an everyday headset that I could wear for hours straight and having the best sound quality + comfort while I'm in the studio or not. So obviously, I ended up buying the MX50BT2 for It's loyal quality sound and comfort + the Bluetooth option (which I'm not a fan of for any studio headset). But, buying them was the best move overall and also in price! My selection was : 1. V-Moda Crossfade 2 (wireless). 2. AKG K371BT (wireless). 3. Sennheiser Momentum 3 (wireless).

How’s the bass on these? Is it prominent in rock/metal/rap music?

Let us know what you end up with. Thanks for watching! 🤙

Appreciate the props! 🤙 The running bit for the reviews are the only workout I get every week, so that's a plus, ha-ha!

Thanks for the subs and the props, Hafiz! Please keep sharing this channel with people you know 😁✌️

It's like the Energizer Bunny!

Thanks... do bookmark and come back for more! 🤙

@@gearupaaron I have been reading mixed reviews online that the headphones sound bad when the mic is turned on and for me i will be on discord chatting for hours so i need to confirm this for my main usage, would you confirm for me?

Preach it! 🤘🤘👍

Glad you're happy with your new toy, Charlie! 🤘

Does the trebble hurt ? I heard the trebble is too high on it. I have high trebble sensitivity

@@darkmist6169 no I don't find the treble too high atall, however the nice thing about these headphones is that they come with an EQ app, so you can complete customise the EQ to your preference

I like emphasised treble, would they suffice me?

@@kartikmishra6894 the standard EQ is pretty flat by design, however they come with an app that allows you to customise the EQ to your liking

Welcome to the GearUPper team! How did you find this channel, if you don't mind me asking?

@@gearupaaron I was searching for a review of the ATH-M50BT2. Thanks to your input I purchased them. They sound great. Would you recommend pairing them with the THX Onyx?

Awesome that you enjoy 'em! The Onyx is a good pairing as long as you're aware that the DAC is drawing power from your phone. If you want the DAC to be compact and rechargeable, there are awesome ones from iFi and Fiio.

@@gearupaaron Thank you.

No problem!

Well said, and appreciate you sharing your experience with the BT2. I'm still loving mine! 😁

Yeah, having tried some other dj headphones from audio technica, the sound isloation is not so bad. I have used them on airplanes and with music or movies running, you barely hear background noise.

Thanks, Vladimir! Do bookmark and come back for more of the good stuff 😎

Thanks for your support 👍! Hope you come back for more of the good stuff 😁

Glad you're enjoying your new toy 😁🤙

Thanks for watching, Musa🤙 - I definitely need your help to get me to a million subs... Pass the word, share this channel 🙏 so KZfaq stops ignoring me, lol!

Not necessarily. As long as it's good quality streams/files (nothing crazy, 320kbps tops). There's no need to use MQA or Flac or any of those hi-res stuff here.

If wired is the only thing you need, then the older model, otherwise, wait for prices to frequently drop on the BT2 (especially on Amazon).

Ooo, I dig the blue one too.

Unfortunately these are not meant for planes, maybe regular commutes. Have you received yours?

@@gearupaaron yes! They are good

Well, enjoy your new toy! 🤘

Indeed they are!

Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🤙

If you can swing it, get the BT2 and pair it with a DAC. 🤘

Why pair with external DAC on a Bluetooth headphone that already has LDAC? Doesn't make sense, that's overkill. I got these and for the best audio I plug into my Galaxy phone with a USBC dongle. I have another headphone that's not Bluetooth, that one I use a DAC amp

Let us know what you think when you get it ✌️

@@gearupaaron i returned it. Ended up getting a bluetooth reciever from anker and taping it to my Shure SRH840s

Good setup! What did you not like about the AT?

@@gearupaaron Highs were way too harsh. And mids were.. mid. Bass was alright but lacking for any edm music. Metal didnt sound good on em either

Hi Mr. Singh, first of all, thanks for watching and your question! ✌️ These two headphones are from 2 different categories. The XM5 is more expensive with noise cancellation, lots of app features, and looks/feels more expensive. The BT2 is a fantastic choice if your son doesn't prioritize noise cancellation but want arguably superior sound quality. Hope that helps some!

XM5's are for pure sound enthusiasts and If cost is not a concern go for xm5's, they check all the boxes for a casual music listener. You can also check out Bose QC 45's which are also good.

@@gearupaaronthanks for the reply. I hate ANC. I like the sound of momentum 4. I am returning them because the clamping force is too much for my big head. Any chance these sound as good as momentum 4 ? Would really appreciate your reply .. loved this review BTW

Lol, it looks like magic, but phonecall noise suppression is always on - in the video it's just the switching between the camera and the headphones that you're hearing.

Thanks and thanks for watching! 🤙

They're relatively easy to drive, so direct from a laptop should be fine, although I'd suggest even a simple (good) amp to get the best out of it.

If ANC isn't a priority, but SQ, wired, and comfort are - the Audio Technica would be great, but I also suggest the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 ($300). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9ucl7J63LnGpJs.htmlsi=Bdi-Xzo1VLyF5zJr

With USB C dongle for phone and Qobuz, and replace earpads to Brainwavs ProStock Micro Suede, also set the app EQ to "jazz" preset, start with Jesus Christ superstar the original motion picture version, the first track "overture". Thank me later

Thanks for your feedback! 🤙

No but just make sure to push the jack all the way in till it clicks. Don't break it though, it doesn't require that much.

Did you get one (or already have one)?

Got these from Amazon Germany for 179 euros with delivery to Finland.

Yup, iOS only supports AAC.

@@gearupaaron thank you for the quick response! Idk if it has something with the codecs compatibiliy…but when I listening to music on starmaker app, the audio sounds very very bad. Do you have any idea? Thanks.

If it's just with StarMaker, then it's possibly the app compatibility itself, which the developer needs to be informed of. Have you tried playing music via other apps?

@@gearupaaron it works great with everything else. So Im not sure what cause the issue. But thank so much for posting the product review.

Hi. Thanks for a gooood video. I have question. How can I connect BT my two devices with this?

Gaming isn't so hot on these, unfortunately.

They have a “gaming version” of these.

@@AJCoReTV what is the name of them

These have an app where you can set gaming mode or low latency

I prefer the SQ and comfort on these over the Sony. Build quality and app functions definitely go to the XM5.

Yes, although SQ does take a marginal hit.

If you plug it to a USBC dongle the sound is superior to Bluetooth ldac if your phone has Dolby Atmos or such, it would play losless

Like, at the same time from two sources or both on the PC?

@@gearupaaron both on the PC, I supposed it's going to be hands free/lower quality music ?

Totally different category. SQ, comfort, and battery life would be in the AT's favor, fwiw.

Yes, absolutely. I talked about sound quality wired versus wireless in the video, too 😁

Not sure where you're located...Have you tried Amazon and eBay? I see a few earpad options for the wired version, which is identical with this model.

@@gearupaaron Thanks a lot man i found some dekoni , brainwavz and Geekria

Glad you found what you needed 🤙

@@gearupaaron Since you take care of your users i am gonna subscribe. Hoping more videos like comparisons of photo, headphones etc

Totally appreciate it, Joshuva! That's what this channel is all about... Welcome to the GearUP fam ✌️

M70 slightly more driven on all frequencies, but it's more expensive and wired.

Nope, still rockin' it old school, lol.

So far so good on mine - still none the worse for wear.

​@@gearupaaronYeah it's mostly just a subtle difference in lustre in the plastic, im sure the integrity is just as good. c: If you search your channel name on "You" (a gpt engine) it actually gives a solid response lol.

Those two belong in the completely different premium consumer headphone category. The AT is more of a studio/monitoring device.

@@gearupaaron I had momentum 4 and returned it due to poor build quality of the headband. Sound was good but then I bought bayerdynamic DT770 pro which is miles ahead in terms of sound quality. I am looking for a similar level quality in a wireless headphone. ANC doesn’t matter much to me

Would love to know what you think... do keep us posted!

@@gearupaaron ok got these M50XBT2 now, testing on different music genres and TV series, these are way way better definitely worth it, a keeper. They just sound excellent. Sadly the M20xBT were incredibly comfortable, the most comfortable than any I have used. These M50XBT2 are not comfortable at all and I kind of predicted it as I used to have the wired version years ago. So I ordered Brainwavs Pro Stock Micro Suede pads, which claim to be designed not to change the sound signature but improve comfort. Do you think they will sound good? I also have wired AKG K 371 and wasted money on Dekoni Elite Velour since they totally ruined the sound making them flat and bass went away, so I changed back to stock pads and they're good now

Wow, sorry to hear about your problems with these cans. The Bluetooth issues make me think "defective unit". Did you get something else instead?

@@gearupaaron Well. hard to say, I didn't make any new chance for this model. I picked SONY WHXB910N. And 'suddenly' all issues during business teams calls disappeared (Creative Zen also never issues with pops/cracks during bcalls). I must say WHXB910N has absolutely impressive ANC for such price class. Didn't expected it too be so good. About sound quality, well, it is evidently worse than Audio technica, mostly because of their sick idea to force their 'extra bass' which is absolutely terrible and don't even let to think of other ranges. Maybe it is designed for people who tend to drive car and listen to very loud music with very extreme booming bass? It is huge, true but it doesn't mean it sounds good :( So my first action was to find ways to get rid of it and it was very hard... Unfortunately. Anyway 3-rd party EQ for OS the best friend, With my smart monitor from Samsung no chance to improve as a genius decided to make EQ disabled for bluetooth devices. What a lame... But at the end of the day I decided to keep them, their ANC in some case can really make a difference. About bluetooth connection especially in flat situation nothing can even compares to regular wireless headphones, and the best implementation of those 3 models and the most reliable I tried was... the cheapest (3 times!) Creative Zen. Not sure maybe there are available bt repeaters to fix such issues when you have some room and concrete walls... But if you have wood walls you are probably fine anywhere ;)
