Audio46's Opinion
This is the wireless version of perhaps the most famous headphone ever made. And the M50xBT2 faithfully approximates the original M50x sound. The M50xBT2 offers a wide, yet realistic soundstage, with entertainingly precise imaging. Its impactful low end handles heavy bass kicks while maintaining accuracy. The midrange is bit subdued at times, which really adds to the dynamic contrast between the lows and highs. (Perfect for modern pop, especially) The somewhat bright high-end reveals ample detail, as well as tons of air a playfulness. So, ultimately, the M50xBT2 remains a reliable and musically versatile headphone. And since there’s no ANC or other fancy bells and whistles, you know that all your money is going towards sound quality at half the price of far more expensive flagships from competing brands.
