ATH-M20xBT Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black

I do music production and also general listening. After using this BT headset I have to say I am very impressed by the battery life as it can hold an entire session of production (few hours, 6 or more and for numerous days) without getting a low battery notification - After couple weeks I got my first low battery so you probably dont need to have this parked on the usb charger for many times in a month. That is the mark of a true BT studio headphone for me and reason why I'd recommend it for just that purpose. The bass quality is actually very noticeable but not overbearing where mid and highs would be flattened out. However it is very punchy bass without "breaking in" out of the box. Any low-lows will be noticeable if you need to work on a bassline sequence in Ableton or an alternate program. The charging time itself from low to full, is at least a couple of hours which is acceptable. Quality build is very high. Fit-wise it is very snug to the ears and buttons are on the left side, which some people may find to have a learning curve (not a high one). Easy to press rectangle style buttons. I haven't used it to gym or cardio with but they aren't heavy enough to where they would fall, I think the JBL TUNE 500s are made for that, because they are feather weight "light" and do a great job cancelling treadmill noise. Im sure these would do the job fine at the gym, they aren't bulky. They do come with a cord in case you want to use without the internal battery, so that's a neat feature. Overall latest BT specs and long battery Im sure these would do the job for a long time, they are my go to, audio feels twice that for the price so it almost feels like a bargain but they probably sound like $150 phones. Ive had the Monster Inspirations which have a similar price tag but they are 4x as heavy and audio signature is similar but wireless and way more utility. I highly recommend them.

For the cost, you'd be hard pressed to find better sounding headphones. These are close to being studio monitors, with the convenience of wireless features. These headphones do a good job of separating instruments in tracks and provide a better soundstage than I expected for this price. They are a touch, and I mean barely, warm. Meaning, they are mostly neutral as you would expect from a studio headphone, with the slightest bump in the lower end. Sub bass isn't really present, but I appreciate the modest punch in the low end. Keep in mind, these are not noise cancelling headphones. I find the ear pads fit my average sized head, and smaller ears really well. The seal they create helps block out some ambient sounds on their own. When I'm doing chores around the house and pumping some tunes, I really don't hear anything but the music. I even took these out in public once to get my tires changed. I could not hear the sounds of the storefront or the shop, even as I sat writing at the bar by the shop window. I was able to lose myself in the music and my writing without any problems. I don't find there is much sound leakage as these are closed back, but I also don't listen to my music at excessive levels (~75% at most). The one problem I have with them so far is the fact that the earcups do not swivel much, and thus cannot fold completely flat for travel. I would have also liked to see a cheap case or bag come with this product to help in transporting them. I have purchased the WS990 BT in the past which came with a leather bag that I still use when traveling. I will likely continue to use that pair for work travel, rather than the M20X. One concern I have for the long run is their build quality. They are mostly plastic with an aluminum band for extending the earcups. Being constructed as such, they are very lightweight. On one hand, this adds to the comfort of the headphones as I forget I'm wearing them sometimes due to their featherweight and light clamping force. However, I worry that these could be broken if I decide to toss them into a backpack and take them out more often. With the light clamping force I find that I can shake them loose if I shake my head side to side rapidly. While I don't do that often, I think that anyone looking for a headphone to wear while exercising should look elsewhere, or consider finding a different ear pad that provides more grip than the provided pleather set. For me, these will likely be relegated to around the house wear, when I don't want to be strapped to my computer desk by my R70Xs. I'm perfectly okay with that as I do really enjoy the sound these produce for the money and the comfort they provide. I think they punch above their price in the audio department and are an excellent option for someone looking for a good, reliable headphone for casual wear.

I own a small chunk of AT's Over Ear M-Line over the years (ATH-M50, ATH-M50x, ATH-M50xBT, ATH-M40x, ATH-M30x), and now I own these. Given my preference to the brand's cans, I was in need of some bluetooth headphones for work. No need for noise cancelling, so that narrowed the field a bit more. This fit the bill due to price and features I was looking for...nothing more than brand loyalty and my preference to over ear headphones rather than bluetooth earbuds, and the option to go wired and wireless in a snap rather than waiting for charging or the modules to get set and pairing, blah blah blah. Build Quality: It really is just shy of being high quality is the plastic used. Seems like used a thinner mold of the higher priced ones, so that could attribute to the lighter, "cheaper" feel (which they are not, to be honest). The headband is solid and stiff. It does feel like the same on the higher end of the line, but very welcome. Same clamping force as the M50x/M50xBT that I own. As was mentioned, though, do NOT expect these to fold like the other brands. You do get a charging cable, and the wired cable for those time you don't need to BT connection, or just don't want to deal with charging the cans when they are low. Again, having this option was important for me, in any situation, and earbuds don't allow this. Connectivity: Since these are pretty much newer compared to my M50xBT (not the 2), I knew these would do well. I connected my phone, tablet, laptop, and a BT transmitter to them with no issues. These paired quicker, but I'm not sure if that's because they were new and had no memory of the last connection they were paired to. Comfort: Like I mentioned above, the clamping force is about the same as the higher priced ones, but that is very welcome due to how light these are. Not enough to say you're not wearing them, but not enough to remove them as often as you think. They are comfortable as well. I will eventually change out the earpads over time. They will eventually need to be replaced (as based on my use of the original M50. The M50x are the upgraded version of those), but that was when I was a gigging DJ, and constant weekly use. They'll probably feel like heaven when you do, but for now, they'll do for an in office setting. (My preference is the Brainwavez Perforated earpads...Do a search, they'll come up.) Sound: I do get better sound from the higher priced models and some of the wired options Audio-Technica offers, but considering the price, that was always to be expected for these. The cans aren't going to block out sound too much (in AND out), but that is necessary for my needs in an office and being able to hear chatter or necessary phone calls to answer. It's not an issue unless my coworker walks over in the next cubicle to tell me she can hear my metal music going off! Overall, If you're not going to use these outside of the office, or travel with these too much, they'll suit you fine. In a studio environment, stay wired (too much interference). But for simple everyday tasks that don't require you to move around too much and you just need good reliable sound, these are more than capable. I'll just need to buy a hanger for these in the office, since these don't fold (and I'm okay with that).

I'll save most of you the trouble of reading through my ramblings. For $79 or lower, these M20xBT's cannot be beat. Clear AT sound with slightly more bass. Not neutral like the M50's, but a more consumer sound profile. I have been a fan of Audio Technica for decades and have been in the market for a set of BT over-ear headphones to use at work. Due to the lackluster reviews online, I went with some cheap knockoff brands for a while. The knockoffs had decent bass without seeming too fake, weak mids, but decent highs. I do not expect too much for BT headphones so was fairly satisfied. I recently went to Japan and because of the respect they have for each other in society, the big box electronic stores have many, many headphones out for demo. They even have disposable sleeves if you want to try out earbuds, though they continue to have those behind the counter. So I was standing in front of a display with close to 100 headphones all charged and ready to be connected via BT or wire. I have been eyeing the AT WS990BT Solid Bass for a while now since I know when they think bass, AT does not mean the kind of bass like the 12" JL W7 in my trunk. I did not have time to play with the EQ on my phone and I used Spotify to recreate my work environment. The sound was weak. Completely not what I was expecting from a headphone with "Solid Bass" in its name. Since these are BT, they will not be connected to an amp so that is all there is. I then tried the WS660BT and ANC700BT and did not like either one. The USD was at its peak against the JPY when I was there so the WS990 were super cheap and I wanted to keep browsing, but decided to go drinking instead. I started seeing reviews for the M20xBT AFTER I got back from Japan. I stayed away from the M50xBT because I know what the wired M50's sound like and it was not what I wanted at work. I listen to mostly indie/EDM/hip hop/80's at work and rarely switch to classical or singer/songwriter. I saw one review on the M20's about a little bit stronger bass with a "V" sound profile. Sold! Even if you never played with an EQ before, you will immediately understand what a "V" profile means when you put these on. Clean and decent lows and bright highs. The mids are not missing, just not as as strong as the highs and lows. Peter Hook's basslines sound just fine on these. So does Masta Ace "Born to Roll". Also Satie and Liszt. Give these headphones a shot. They are inexpensive and should meet the needs of most consumers. Definitely a better buy than anything from Bose or Sony, unless you absolutely must have Active Noise Cancelling. The M20's are good enough to block out almost all office noises. Almost forgot to mention I did change out the earcups as I do with all my over the ear headphones. I went with GVOears this time and was impressed. Slightly less than Brainwavz, but I like the material that touches my skin much more than velour.

A solid entry-level wireless headphone that punches above its price point. The sound is clean and balanced — true to Audio-Technica’s studio-monitor heritage — making them great for both casual listening and critical audio. Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and the 60-hour battery life is genuinely impressive. The all-black design is understated and professional-looking. They’re not the most feature-rich option at this price, lacking active noise cancellation, but for pure sound quality and endurance, the ATH-M20xBT is hard to argue with.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is about the M20xBT, but I'll begin with my feelings about the M50 model. I've owned a pair of ATH-M50 headphones (with built in cable) for about 7 years and I've become a bit fed with it, why? Comfortability & price. That model does squeeze against my head, and presses against parts of my ears because the pads are thick. I can't stand to wear them for more than ~30 minutes max before I feel like taking them off. The sound however was good. Not terrific or outstanding but it's good. I like the M50xbt model even less, and I don't even own those. The regular ATH-M50 cost roughly $70-$80 in 2017. And now a bluetooth model costs about $180. Because the bluetooth needs to be $100 more. lmao. So I wanted to try the ATH-M20xBT. These headphones are just about perfect for me at nearly every angle I can currently think of. I can literally call these "over ear" headphones because these don't press against my ears at all. The pads are just the right thickness; the contour of their design nests comfortably around my own ears. The materials don't weigh a lot, they sit light and comfortably on my head. I don't grow fatigued with them like other headphones that clamp hard against the skull. Before I knew it I was wearing these for more than an hour multiple times. They're just really comfortable to wear. The price was on point. If you're not an audiophile and have an opportunity to buy these for $60-$70 or even less, do try them. Try not to waste your money on these @ $80+ Sound is servicable, it's good. Not top of the line outstanding quality for the price range, but if you like a bit of bass you would enjoy these. They become even better if you have access to an audio app with built in equalizer settings. The material construction is also serviceable and don't bother with these if you dislike exposed wires, but I don't mind them. Take care of them like any other headphones and they are likely to last a while.

First let me say I am a Vine reviewer but I bought these as a lightweight, long lasting, battery powered headset. There are 2 sets of reviews on this page. 1 for Bluetooth and 1 for wired. I will say right now don't buy these for wireless, they are literally horrible sounding. When these are used on Bluetooth the sound goes down the drain. As wired they are fantastic sounding, but the second you hook them up to Bluetooth the quality drops from from studio quality, to tape recorder quality. I have no idea why. I tried them on 3 different PC's and all did the same thing. I tried them on a Apple iPhone and on my Samsung Galaxy and it was the same issue. I gave these 3 stars, but only as a wireless headset. When you wire these to a 3.5mm jack they rival my Sennheiser HD's, but I get tired of a wire at times, so I wanted to give these a try. As a wired headset everything is great, but when on Bluetooth, the sound has cracks you can hear, the volume is reduced to about 60%, just a bad experience and sound. Bass is barely there, and treble is more monotone then vibrant. Even using a EQ would not fix this. If your wanting a wired headset, hey these sound great and lightweight, A bit more clamping pressure than I would like, but that can be stretched into any headset. The build quality? They were obviously going for lightweight in that area, but if you don't toss these about I would say it wouldn't be an issue. Pretty comfortable and light for an adult head. Design is good, but that is where it stops. Save some money and buy the wired versions not the BT ones. These will have to be returned and I hate returning anything.

Purchased these as a gift for my wife. Just another example of "don't trust the reviews on Amazon". The ATH-M20xBTWH headphones are great looking, comfortable for me, and the battery seems adequate. For my wife though, the intended recipient, they would not adjust small enough to fit properly. This created a situation where the headphones were constantly pulling on her ears. Connection to BT was easy as is most BT gear. Now the bad. When it comes to why you want headphones, listening to music, they fall short very quickly. The sound quality was very lack luster. Almost harsh. My tastes are pretty diverse so I tried several different genres all with the same results. The highs were somewhat tinny. Bass response was basically non existent. To the extent that when there was any all that was heard was terrible distortion. The output level was also very disappointing. I know these are not noise cancelling but I've had some 20 dollar sets that had much better sound quality and performance. I really wanted to like these but was immediately disappointed. If they were 20 bucks maybe. But at 90 they could have done much better.

Esto de buscar un par de audífonos de buena calidad es muy complicado, hay muchas reseñas contradictorias en todas las marcas en general. Probé unos Bose 700 (sinceramente me defraudaron, los escuché muy simples) y Sony WH1000XM4/B (los escuché mejor, solo que los bajos eran demasiado fuertes/saturados). Había comprado anteriormente un tocadiscos audio tecnica que me voló la cabeza cuando lo escuché por primera vez. Ante las dudas e intrigas, me dejé llevar por mi experiencia anterior y compré estos audífonos. Soy músico desde hace muchos años, con estos audífonos stoy conociendo instrumentos, sonidos, efectos y detalles que no sabía que tienen las canciones que siempre escucho. Tenía expectativas altas (a pesar del coste económico) y sin lugar a dudas se la volaron, y por mucho. Hi Definition en persona. Todo es MUY NÍTIDO Y CLARO. Un equilibrio perfecto a mi gusto: bajos presentes, con gran cuerpo pero sin saturar ni filtros artificiales; medios presentes pero al volumen justo y perfecto para dar cuerpo a todo; los agudos muy nítidos y claros a un volumen excelente, ya que no sisean ni aturden, al contrario, dan la definición perfecta de todo, muuuy bien mezclado. Todo, en conjunto, ambientalizado con alto nivel, la atmosfera de estos audífonos me hacen sentir inmerso en la música. Y no es casualidad, ya que esta marca se enfoca en productos profesionales de calidad estudio de grabación y producción de audio. Si tu celular tiene configuraciones de ecualización, simplemente podrás dejarlos a tu gusto 100% personalizado. No tiene cancelación de ruido, pero a mi gusto es buena la aislación natural al ruido exterior que tienen estos audífonos. Los audífonos cubren mis orejas sin ningún problema, la diadema acolchada es sumamente cómoda. INCREÍBLES 🔥🤯🤩 Actualización: los cargué una vez, y usándolos de forma regular, la batería me duró más de un mes, sin exageración. Entonces INIGUALABLES en ese rubro.

I've heard nothing but positive things about these headphones from the gift recipient, mainly about how long the battery lasts! She doesnt use them often or for long times but hasn't charged them in months and they still have half a charge! They are very comfortable when they have been worn for longer periods, they were used on a long plane trip and there was no discomfort. Can't speak to sound quality too much, as she has never had any good headphones before these. She does say it sounds great though, and from the few seconds I've tried them out, they were definitely not bad!

Clear and crisp sound, good distinction and transition between different sounds. Long battery life. I like the sound setup, its relaxing and not intense, making it easier to listen for extended periods, but this varies from person to person what they like.

O Ath20x possui 3 dos 4 requisitos que eu buscava em um headphone sem fio. 1- Áudio: O áudio é impressionante. Possui uma curva de resposta de frequência muito boa e tem um som extremamente limpo, nada soa abafado, ou exagerado, como a maioria dos fones por aí, que estouram os baixos ou os agudos e abafam o resto. Se for ouvir música no Spotify, no equalizador há diversas opções de equalização pra deixar ele perfeito pra qualquer gosto. A equalização funciona, ao contrário de muito. Mas ele no flat já é perfeito para a maioria dos gêneros. Eu ouço coisas que nunca ouvia antes. É realmente Incrível! 2- Conforto: Tem um bom conforto se ajustar direitinho. O fato de não ter steps na haste é um tanto incômodo, pois precisa ajustar sempre que for colocar na cabeça. Mas nada que o torne inviável. Considerando ser o modelo de entrada, está muito bom. E ele é muito leve, então ajuda muito também no conforto. A pressão na cabeça dependendo do ajuste fica bem confortável para algumas horas de uso. No entanto, as almofadas são um pouco rígidas e rasas, então talvez seja legal trocar por outras mais fundas e com um material que não esquente tanto quanto o courino. Mas ainda assim, estou sendo muito criterioso. Para a maioria das pessoas isso não será um problema algum. 3- Estética minimalista: Outro ponto que o produto entregou bem para mim. Possui uma estética minimalista, sóbria e com ar de “estúdio”. Nada de rgb, ou design futurista que te faz parecer um moleque imaturo em reuniões de trabalho. 4: Microfone: O único ponto que deixa bastante a desejar. O áudio por Bluetooth não é bom, dá bastante eco e a voz soa completamente distorcida. Mas foi o que abri mão, e comprei um microfone à parte para usar com o headphone, e vida que segue. Considerações e menções a outros headsets: Depois de testar desde o Logitech GPro X, ao Corsair Virtuoso (produtos que custam 1k), e mesmo olhando acima (Audeze Maxwell), Astro etc, nunca conseguia o combo de requisitos que listei acima. Ou tinha áudio bom e péssimo microfone, ou microfone excepcional e áudio péssimo, ou áudio e microfone bons e conforto terrível, ou ainda, conseguia ser bom em todos os 3 requisitos, porém era horroroso esteticamente. Precisava que tivesse uma estética aceitável pois usaria para reuniões de trabalho e não gostaria de parecer um adolescente gamer. Conclusão: O Audio-Technica é um excelente produto wireless com áudio excepcional, bom conforto, bateria de longa duração (mais de uma semana para meu uso), estética minimalista e sóbria, conexão multiponto, opção de redução de lag, e com um microfone simples, mas que dá pra atender uma ligação quando precisar. Não possui conexão com aplicativos no celular, mas sinceramente, nem precisa. Recomendo bastante para quem busca algo similar ao que vim procurando.

Tienen muy buen sonido, muy claro, hay que revisar bien para qué los necesitas por el tipo de ecualización que pueden tener, son los segundos que compro de la marca con diferente modelo, todo Ok. 😉
