Audio-Technica has updated one of its most longstanding and celebrated headphone lines.

The new ATH-M50xBT2 wireless headphones are direct descendants of the brand’s legendary ATH-M50 studio cans, which evolved into the M50x and went on to win a range of famous fans from Drake to Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga.

With an enhanced battery life of 50 hours, which can be topped up by 3 hours on a 10-minute rapid charge, these new models offer clearer communication functionality including for phone calls, thanks to dual mics and AT’s beamforming microphone tech, plus built-in Alexa voice assistant. The audio has also been upgraded too thanks to an AK4331 DAC and dedicated internal headphone amp.
