Questions & Answers
Are these comfortable for long gaming sessions?
Answered by AudioTechnicaThank you for your inquiry. I find them very comfortable in long studio sessions. Please note that these do not have a built in microphone that you may want for gaming.
Hello, is there a difference between ATH-M50x & the BT version in terms of the sound quality? My primary use is for mixing and mastering but would also like to use it for listening to casual music on the phone and iPad.
Answered by AudioTechnicaYes, there is. The wireless (Bluetooth) version of the headphone, the ATH-M50xBT, was specifically designed to sound like the original wired only version of the headphone, the ATH-M50x, when used in the wireless mode. As a result, when the ATH-M50xBT is used in the wired mode, it does not sound identical to the original wired only ATH-M50x.
Just ordered a pair. Is the cable attachment to the ear cup straight in or twist and lock? If twist, right or left?
Answered by AudioTechnicaTwist and lock. Twist right.
I need to use these for an electronic drum set with 1/4” jacks. Do these have a jack or come with an adapter to fit a 1/4” jack?
Answered by AudioTechnicaThey come with an adapter.
would these be suitable to use with a pc for listening to classical music
Answered by AudioTechnicaYes, they would.
