About Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
88% found the battery long-lasting, however 12% experienced drains
Battery life is the major factor and it lasts forever. It has 50 hours of battery life which is consistent with my experience.
On a single charge, the battery life is around 65 hours.
I cannot comment on the battery life as I have only had the headphones for a week.
81% appreciated the comfort and fit, however 19% found the fit different
The headphones have padded ear cups and a padded headband, making them very comfortable.
I suggest that the Bluetooth model may not be comfortable for those who are sensitive to clamping pressure or have a large head.
I use Wicked Cushion replacements because the stock ear cushions are not the most comfortable.
I was concerned that the headphones would be too loose due to their small size, but found that the smallest setting fit decently.

78% found it easy to connect, but 22% faced pairing issues
The headphones have Bluetooth 5.0, a built-in microphone, and controls for easy calls, volume adjustment, and track skipping.
I have been having issues with having 2 devices connected.
Initially, the connection was fine, but there was static noise when no audio was playing. This issue was specific to my PC and not present when connected to my phone.
When I receive a call, nobody can hear me well even if I try to focus on them.
88% admired the microphone quality, nevertheless, 12% encountered glitches
I have noticed that the microphone quality is poor and it garbles things when I start talking.
The microphone is basic and not near studio quality, but it is fine for talking in a quiet environment.
The microphone quality is not good for phone calls while driving as the recipient can barely hear me due to road and engine noise.
The microphone quality is pretty bad with weak signal strength and random disconnects. I had to use a mobile app to toggle off sidetone which kind of ruined it for me.

84% were satisfied with the noise cancellation, but 16% found it insufficient
I love that these headphones have sufficient noise cancellation even though they are not technically noise canceling. They are a solid pair of over the ear headphones.
The ATH-M50x doesn't have active noise cancellation, but the ear pads provide good sound isolation.
The noise cancellation makes up for the volume of sound and the headphones are sturdy with no moving or crackling parts.
I can still hear surrounding noise, knocks, road noise, voices, and other people's TV and music even with noise cancelling headphones.
88% liked the sound quality, yet 12% noticed distortions
I am satisfied with the sound quality of the headphones and believe it is a good value for the money.
The sound quality is really nice and much better than my cheap ones. I noticed parts of songs that I didn't know existed and even the background of many ASMR videos.
I tried the Jabra 85h and the sound quality was bad, it was crunchy and made music unlistenable.
Via Bluetooth, the sound quality is very poor.
