Q: How well does it cancel out surrounding noise, and how is the bass quality?

A: Bass quality is great, but subjective from what you are coming from or have experience with. For instance, if you are used to Beats, or DJ headphones, these might seem to have more subtle bass, but only because they are more accurate to the original music file/production. Just like a home HIFI system, other brands engineer their headphones to emphasize the highs and lows. These might have a slight "smile" eq curve to them, but it's ever so subtle. Hope this helps.

Q: Are these comfortable for long gaming sessions?

A: Thank 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.

Q: 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.

A: Yes, 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.

Q: I am looking for a mixed feature of wired/wireless, as I would be using for music listening and auditing, but also times when I would just listen to various audios via my PC. Is there any such headphone available via Audio-Technica under $200.

A: I am a big fan of the ATH-M50X. You can buy a Bluetooth adapter for $50 that will plug directly into the headphone. This puts you at $200 all-in. The model number for the adapter is BAL-M50X.

Q: What is the difference between this and its limited version?

A: The limited is matte grey, that's all.
