WIRELESS HEADPHONES

Since its introduction during Audio-Technica’s 50th anniversary celebrations back in 2012, the M50x headphone design has been widely lauded for both personal and studio monitoring use, and since then not a year has gone by without a special or limited edition arriving with either technical tweaks or some new colour scheme, This year the colour variant was chosen by public vote, with the winning hue being a deep Jaffa orange ‘Lantern Glow’.
