The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 is probably the only headphones most of us will ever need. I use my first gen (ATH-M50xBT) for everything from Bluetooth audio, to gaming and music production.

YOOOO WHAT i actually use those rn (the bt2) and i like them a tonne. only that my hair gets caught on the sharp edges a lot and its super painful, and the mic quality being bad (but i have a dedicated mic for that anyway at home). kinda thought to buy a new pair but i already have something extremely good and i dont really use the mic a lot

I always found theic to be there as a "if you need it, it exists" feature, not a selling point.

I recently saw that Finneas (Billie Eilish's brother and an incredibly talented producer) mains the M50x as his studio monitors. They are probably one of the best $200 you can spend for audio related things.

Using a headphone in production =/= a good headphone.

Cans for mixing have a compleptly different sound signature than for music enjoyment. Unless you just love trebble, stuff like beyerdynamic and m50x are atrocious sounding.

They are a resolving headphone for sure, and very well built. They're not a bad headphone per-se but for normal folks they really need to stop being recommended so much.

Stuff like the Philips shp9500 and akg K371 are way more enjoyable, cheaper, and still pretty much indestructible. But the true advice is that audio is subjective as fuck, try out some stuff and find what you like. Trust your ears, not some dude on the Internet
