I didn’t find myself getting too annoyed at the outside noise penetrating through the headphones but I was still able to hear what was going on around me. A metal friction band encased in plastic and foam may not scream “high quality,” but it’s durable and will withstand the casual abuse of a commuter with a crowded bag. On the contrary, the sound was well-balanced across the entire listening spectrum and resolved music with both detail and vividness. The loose extenders allow for seamless adjusting, but not having any settings in place can create an uneven fit. The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBT make that accessible to more people because they’re significantly cheaper than other Audio-Technica wireless over-ear headphones but the audio quality is still out to impress.

Despite the lack of heft there’s enough battery in here for 60 hours of use, and we were particularly impressed to find that if you neglect to power them down, this doesn’t much seem to drain the power bank. Combining contemporary design with premium materials, the ATH-M20xBT delivers exceptional audio performance for those prioritizing sound quality.Up to 60 hours of continuous use on a full charge and up to 3 hours of use on a 10-minute rapid charge (via USB-C connection).

The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBT are the latest headphones in the brand’s popular M-series and the wireless alternative to its affordable wired ATH-M20x. Placing the headphones at the lowest setting also causes the headband to apply pressure atop the skull. One-tap Google Fast Pair expedites the pairing process on Android devices, while multipoint technology allows the headphones to pair to two devices at the same time.How ethereal were the Oklou auto-tuned vocals on Flume’s Highest Building, and then how massive a mega-phat moment the Audio-Technicas allowed the stomping bass synth each time it arrived to dominate the track. Crafted with professional-grade ear pad and headband material, these headphones are built for enduring durability and comfort.

They’re even cheaper than this but they’re fantastic, so good in fact, that they picked up a coveted 5-star rating in the T3 review. He makes music as well as enjoying it, is alarmingly wedded to the notion that Led Zeppelin remains the highest point of rock'n'roll yet attained, though remains willing to assess modern pretenders.The build is plastic, but its the good quality stuff, so we found they were relatively devoid of creaks and cracks like headphones made with cheaper materials. As far as audible anomalies go that’s pretty much it, as the biggest deviations from our target aren’t all that offensive to most. Each recording was made in our controlled environment with calibrated playback, so you can easily compare these samples with our other reviews.

The ATH-M20xBT’s over-ear design is supposed to block out noise passively, but it doesn’t do this particularly well. Für's Musikhören und Monitoring super, er ist recht fein aufgelöst und gerade auch die Bässe sind stramm, ohne matschig oder dröhnend zu werden.Audio Technica concentrated all their efforts on not only adding Bluetooth but on making clever refinements in areas that made a great headphone even better. We’re still running the battery test for the Audio-Technica ATH-M20XBT, so we don’t have a battery score or expected playback time. Coupled up with 40mm drivers for top-tier isolation, these headphones will thrive in the loudest of settings.
