QuestionHow well does it cancel out surrounding noise, and how is the bass quality?
Asked 9 years ago by Bonkess.
- Answer 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.

QuestionHello, 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.
Asked 4 years ago by AJ.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI 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.
Asked 8 years ago by KeenEarring.
- Answer 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.

QuestionIs there a reason why the white version is more expensive than the black version?
Asked 7 years ago by Ksm.
- Answer No, they should be exactly the same. The only reason I can come up with (for the price being higher) is that the white ones may be "limited edition". Like most limited edition products you are paying for the aesthetic rather than the product itself. if this isn't the case then Best Buy needs to fix that because that is absurd. If you don't care for colour then I would just go with the black, they are an excellent pair of headphones.

QuestionBecause these are professional Studio headphones I would be using them on my smartphone would you be able to make phone calls or receive phone calls while using the headphones
Asked 8 years ago by Blaine.
- Answer No, these headphones do not have a mic to speak into. Besides, a little too pricey to get just to receive and make phone calls if you ask me as the quality output on your phone won't make use of the studio grade quality...in other words: it won't sound much better than any other pair of decent ($60<) headphones unless you utilize the 1/4 inch plug. The Hesh 3s might suit you better unless you plan to work in a studio setting.

QuestionCan these be worn while I walk or jog?I KNOW these are advertised as studio headphones. But could they be worn while a person walks or jogs?
Asked 10 years ago by PreacherNC.
- Answer I use them while walking, but maybe I'll refrain from using them while jogging/running. The size of these headphones are not "small", so I'd feel very awkward while jogging with them.
