  • I recently decided to stop buying gaming headsets and instead decided to purchase a pair of headphones from a more professional maker. After going back and forth for a while and seriously considering the Sennheiser 600 HD headphones, I ended up settling on the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT headphones but I was concerned they may not be very good for gaming. This is my review after using them for several months now!

    The M50’s are designed for audio engineering. Their goal is to deliver a “flat band” frequency in order to convey the audio you’re hearing exactly the way it was made to sound by the engineer without “enhancing” any spectrum of the sound. Your review unknowingly confirms all of that. The way you describe them as clear and defined without bass boosting and muddy. That’s exactly what they’re intended for. Nice review man.

      Its not really though. It has a V curse however more subtle then many boosted popular models made more for listening. Sony V7/7506 for example are a lot more neutral. AKG has some good headphones that are flatter too.

    • @HarryDuBois616
      @HarryDuBois616 Před rokem +1

      One of the great things about these headphones is the EQ app they come with. I use them woth the default flat EQ when doing anything production/audio engineering related, and then for gaming/films/music I switch over to my custom EQ (slight low end and upper mid range boost) which just brightens up the sound slightly. I really love these headphones

    Thank you for your review. I fly internationally (infrequently) and as such, I have not had much of an issue with airplane noise. My previous headset choices have been Bludio Victory and Edifiers. We are in the same "Basehead" category. I also don't use ANC as I like to be aware of my surroundings. Your review reinforces my decision to buy this model headset. once again, thank you for your review.

    Would it be possible to get a dongle for these so I can game wirelessly with low latency? Also, would it be possible to have them wired to my dualsense and have them connected to my phone via Bluetooth at the same time? And one more, would they fit well on a little bit smaller of a head? I’m probably gonna get them anyway, but I’d like these questions answered if you don’t mind. Thanks!! Great vid btw!!

    • @OMGItsDerek
      @OMGItsDerek  Před 3 lety

      yes, you can use a Bluetooth ongoing connect them to your computer and as long as it is Bluetooth 5.0 it should be pretty low latency. However, Bluetooth just isn't quite there yet with a wired connection which is why I choose to use them with a wired connection during gaming sessions. You cannot have them connected via Bluetooth and wired at the same time. Also, I'm unsure on your last question but they do have quite a bit of adjustment in the band but unfortunately I do not have a small head.

    I just bought a pair of these and I am having trouble connecting to my pc with them. I can connect the headset easily to my phone but when it comes to the pc connection it won't connect. I have tried multiple different ways such as disconnecting device from all Bluetooth devices, changing the Bluetooth settings on the device, and connecting to the device named "ath-m50xbt" instead of "ble_ath-m50xbt". I really want to not give up on these headphones but if I can't use them for the main purpose I bought them there is no point in owning them.

      I know not all Bluetooth dongles are the same.

Just a reminder that all dongles must also be Bluetooth 5.0 in order for them to connect properly

    Hello! This review is really well made 💪🏻and almost answered to all my questions. The problem is that is quite impossible to find these headphones in Italy (I even tried to search them on other european amazon stores but nothing found) 😞.. Do you know any other good over ear bluetooth headphones? Sorry if I bother you with this detailed list of needs but I'm trying to be as more exhaustive as possible to let you understand better. I'm not an expert/audiophile/ never had expensive headphones. The most "expensive" ones that I have are the JBL T450BT (they were around 40€)... So definitely not really expensive lol.. Anyways I mentioned them just for letting you know the audio quality wich I am used to.
    I use them both for music (I mostly hear rock and pop music) and games (playing with ps4, I have a Taotronics bluetooth transmitter/receiver linked to the tv), even if the latency sometimes is really annoying. Sometimes I use them for talking on the phone, if I'm already wearing them. So they work. The biggest problem to me at the moment is that they are on ear and they literally crush my head after only one hour I wear them. I have a small head, but I wear glasses, and these damn headphones make me feel like the glasses are fusing with my skull lol
    So the one million dollar question is: is there any good over- ear bluetooth headphones for music/games/films? Possible not over 100€, but if it's worth it I could spend 150 too. Thank you in advance, even just for reading this crappy and long request and sorry for any errors but english is not my first language 🙏🏻

    • @LewisM1984
      @LewisM1984 Před 3 lety

      Update to this - I can see that you mention that an aux cable you use for gaming. Not sure whether you have an Xbox or not but I do have a dac/amp (soundblasterx G6) that I have connected via a hdmi extractor which is working great so assuming the only way to use these headphones is via the aux cable? In that case as I don’t really need the Bluetooth connection as use AirPods for other uses for handheld devices and would only use these gaming do you think perhaps I should just opt for a pair of the wired m50x?

    • @OMGItsDerek
      @OMGItsDerek  Před 3 lety +1

      They can be used via any device that allows bluetooth. With being Bluetooth 5.0 they should have very little lag but even with the latest Bluetooth technology wired connections still introduce the least amount of latency as of right now. Basically wireless hasn't quite caught up to wired in terms of latency period so because of that I personally choose to use an aux cable when I'm game in just to make sure I'm here and everything instantly.

      You know...I never actually tried the mic on the PC since I already had an expensive one. Only tried it via phone connection.

    i did the mistake to purchase this headphones and now i 'm really considering to return them ... after one hour of continue use it gives you a headache and ears really hurt from the pressure it exerts over them ... i was intending to use them with computer but they become really really uncomfortable to the point you need to take them off and take a break from the pain ... i had used before the audio technica ath m50 coiled wired version which i used them for more than 8 years but i don't remember them to be so uncomfortable ! this bt2 are atrocious painful after 1 hour of continue use !

      So in the description I put the ear pads I switched to and I think I mentioned in the video they did that. I will say, after just a few uses I got use to them and now can wear them as long as I want with no issues...consistently wear them for ~6 hours a time with no issues.
