Q: QuestionHow well does it cancel out surrounding noise, and how is the bass quality?(2 answers)
A: AnswerBass 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.Answered by nolovedeep
Q: QuestionAre these comfortable for long gaming sessions?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThank 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.Answered by AudioTechnica
- A: AnswerYes, 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.
Answered by AudioTechnica
- A: AnswerI 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.

- A: AnswerWe do not know what kind of headphone jack, if any, a Kindle has on it. The ATh-M50x Headphones are foldable and collapsible and otherwise a good choice for your application.

Solid pair of cheap headphones
Nice sound for a $125 dollar pair of headphones. Always bought Sennheisers, but quality seems to have dropped. A year of everyday use in, and these are holding up like new. Solid pair of everyday headphones
