With a quick hear-through function and included travel accessories, these headphones are designed for both immersive listening and everyday practicality. ## Description The ATH-SR50BT wireless over-ear headphones deliver the exceptionally pure audio of Sound Reality in a convenient wireless design. The headphones are compatible with the high-quality aptX and AAC codes, in addition to the standard SBC codec, to provide exhilarating, full-range audio from the Bluetooth wireless signal. The headphones’ specially designed 45 mm drivers are also capable of Hi-Res Audio reproduction when used with the included 1. 2 m (3. 9') detachable cable. The ATH-SR50BT headphones are equipped with a mic and touch-sensor controls in the left ear cup, making it easy to answer calls, adjust volume and handle music playback on smartphones and other devices. The controls also offer the selection of active ambient noise reduction, which gently reduces environmental noise for cleaner, high-fidelity sound. A separate quick hear-through button can be pressed to hear external noises – voices in particular – a feature that’s useful for engaging in brief conversations, hearing public transportation announcements, and the like. Headphone settings can be adjusted quickly and easily by using the Audio-Technical Connect app on a connected smartphone. The ear pads and headband are made of soft memory foam for ultimate comfort, and the headphones fold flat for easy storage in the included pouch. The internal lithium polymer battery provides 25 hours of continuous use on a full charge, and recharges via the included 30 cm (1. 0') USB charging cable. Available in black (ATH-SR50BTBK) and brown-gray (ATH-SR50BTBW). About High-Resolution Audio In Brief: The Move to Hi-Res Audio While many listeners may believe that high-resolution audio came along with the introduction of the Compact Disc in 1982, constraints on the disc’s storage space always prevented CD audio (standardized at 44. 1 kHz/16-bit) from fully and completely reproducing the original recorded sound. The advent and subsequent popularity of MP3s only made this problem more pronounced – the necessary compression of these files causes audio information to be lost, thus greatly reducing the audio quality. But with lossless audio file formats, faster Internet speeds, and storage space increasingly easy to come by (and in ever-smaller packages), the push is on to create audio equipment capable of capturing and reproducing true Hi-Res Audio, generally considered to be 96 kHz/24-bit or better. The Hi-Res Audio logo certifies that a product meets the Hi-Res Audio standards. Per these standards, headphones must have transducer frequency performance to at least 40 kHz. As a producer of these types of audiophile headphones since 1972, Audio-Technical is well-positioned to provide audio solutions that meet the demands of Hi-Res Audio media formats, allowing for the full reproduction of their extended sonic characteristics. *The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by Bluetooth SIG, and any use of such marks by Audio-Technical Corporation is under license.

Review: Surprisingly good, underrated Bluetooth headphones. - Initially I was pondering between these and the Sony XM3's and decided to pull the trigger on this instead. Now I've been using these for a couple of weeks with my iPhone and honestly? I don't regret it. I very much enjoyed these cans and I think you will too. Of course, since all phone manufacturers got smooth brain and thought it was the move to imitate Apple's ditching of the 3.5 mm headphone jack, it seems that getting Bluetooth was basically a requirement. Unless somehow you actually like dealing with weird adapters. Also, I was personally sick and tired of burning through Apple earbuds because of constant cases of me snagging the wire and proceeding to drop my phone or break the earbuds. Coming into these cans after research, I knew right off the bat the noise cancelling properties weren't all that great, but personally I didn't mind. I use my own car for transportation and don't live in a bustling urban city, so to me, something that can at least drown out low drones of airplanes and AC is fine. After all, they call it noise REDUCTION for a reason. It doesn't totally cancel things out, just reduces them. Also includes a hear-through mode! I know lots of people will be put off by the lack of USB-C on a modern product like this, but personally I don't mind. I'm very vigilant about charging my devices overnight while I sleep so it's not a problem. Plus, this thing has great battery life anyways so I rarely find myself running out of juice. But that's enough about features, what about sound? Honestly, these are great. They provide a more neutral sound signature compared to the Sony's. I know for some it's a bit boring, however it didn't hamper my enjoyment at all. What's more, as a requirement, I prefer neutral headphones to actually have good sound quality to back up the normally boring signature, and these very much deliver, as expected of Audio Technica. In even better news, the drivers are actually good, even when turned off and using the included cable. In testing, I didn't really notice a difference between being turned on and off in sound quality and staging, which is great! Do note however that if you do decide to use the cable while it's turned on that it becomes much harder to drive than when it's off. The last thing to note about sound quality is that it has surprisingly good sound stage for Bluetooth headphones. I was kind of shocked to be honest that it was actually equal to open-backs at the same or lesser price. As for comfort, these are very good. The larger drivers means more room inside the ear cups which is good for those with bigger ears as portable headphones like these tend to turn them into on-ears instead of their intended over-ears. The pads are a soft, smooth pleather with a cushy memory foam. There is padding on the headband but not as much as the Sony's. It's Audio Technica's signature of minimal foam on the headband, but it's not uncomfortable even after long periods. However, do note that these things will make your ears hot especially after turning on noise reduction for a while. Let's top this off with the nitpicks I had. First, let me start by saying the combination of touch controls and buttons and switches annoys me. You have this nice, satisfying clicky button for the quick hear-through mode, but then reserve everything else for a touch pad on the left ear cup. The touch sensor also is annoying in that you'll activate it even when just grabbing the headphones sometimes. It's a bit irksome and personally I would've preferred if they went all in for either touch or buttons. Also, when turning them on, it defaults to noise reduction. It's irritating to put these on and be immediately confronted with the head pressure created by this mode. And there's no way to change the default in the app, so you have to cycle back through hear-through to the standard mode via placing all your fingers on the cup, which sometimes isn't detected. I'm a bit miffed at the lack of including any sort of notch notation system for the headband adjustment. I'm a bit OCD and like my headphones on both ends set completely even, and the lack of any sort of marking on the headband bothers me. It's a minor complaint though. Last but not least, I don't have a problem with it but Audio Technica's app doesn't offer EQ for these. Fine by me, I wouldn't want to ruin the great sound signature. Overall, great headphones and I think they were well worth the price of $200. However, I do wish I would've bought these during the Christmas season when they were on sale for $120, as this price point does have some pretty tough competitors including Sennheiser with their PXC cans. I can definitely recommend these, however. Review: Excellent sound, natural, perfect for most gym activities. - This headphone purchase is the result of many hours of research, I don't exactly consider myself an audiophile but I do know what a bad sound is and what good sound is. With that said, I wanted a good sounding headphone with a great quality build for when I am at the gym working out. The headphones feel sturdy and can take some sweat while delivering a comfortable wear with a great natural sound. Battery life is great. touch pad is a little wonky but definitely usable. I wanted to find a set of headphones that I wouldn't mind being out the price tag if they got banged up a little. Use case: I have many many many sets of headphones, (I buy and try a lot for the many different purposes they serve) and these are perfect for my gym time. I spend about an hour a day at the gym and I occasionally use them long periods at work. Noise: The noise cancellation as actually noise reduction. I work in IT and have a server room I work out of sometimes that is fairly loud with fans and AC hum and beeping. As long as you manage your expectations about the capabilities of it - it works fine. It definitely reduced noise, I will occasionally hear someone drop a weight at the gym (ugh) and the headphones will spike with that noise, but other than that there is a good buffer. You can cycle between NR, Hear through, and off, for the noise reduction capability. Battery: Battery life is super decent, I forget to charge them often, and sometimes I only charge it when I can for only half hour increments. I am a bit disappointed that these were not type c charging but the I find myself charging so seldomly that it doesn't matter, I have a micro usb plugged into an xbox and I plug it in every 2 weeks or so to charge and that has been working for me. Gym use: I love these headphones for the gym mostly and they work great for that for most everything. They have good head pressure and can withstand running speed on a treadmill. The only thing they don't do the best on is when I have to raise my arms close to my ears. my exposed arm occasionally touches the touch pad on the left earcup and makes a gesture action happen like pause or volume up. These headphones became a family favorite, so much so that we call them the family headphones, I wear them to the gym, wife wears them to the gym, and my 9 year old son uses them with his ipad when his headphones are dead, forgot to bring them on a trip, or can't be found. (He is a little rough on them but sturdy build quality has proved itself). Over all these headphones were a great buy for someone looking for a set that does it all for a great price in great quality, I think they look great and have more than earned their keep. ## Features - Exceptionally pure audio of sound reality in a wireless design - Exclusively designed 45 mm drivers are capable of Hi-Res Audio reproduction with a wired connection - Mic and controls built into the ear cup for convenient handling of calls, music playback and volume adjustment - Switchable quick hear-through function allows voices (conversations, announcements at airports and transit stations, etc. ) to be heard through the headphones - Includes 30 cm (1. 0') USB charging cable and carrying pouch - Included components: Headphones, 30 cm (1.0') USB charging cable, Carrying pouch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MC1G7TY | | Additional Features | Foldable, Microphone Included, Universal Phone Control, Volume Control | | Antenna Location | Calling | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #496,184 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #7,060 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Bluetooth Range | 10 meters | | Bluetooth Version | 5 | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Brand Name | Audio-Technica | | Built-In Media | Headphones, 30 cm (1.0') USB charging cable, Carrying pouch | | Cable Features | Without Cable | | Carrying Case Color | Black | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Cellphones, Potentially some Car Audio Systems and Smart Speakers | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | touch-sensor | | Controller Type | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 823 Reviews | | Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Over Ear | | Enclosure Material | Metal, Plastic | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz - 40 kHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04961310146733 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 47 ohm | | Item Weight | 9.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Audio-Technica | | Model Name | ATH-SR50BTBK | | Model Number | ATH-SR50BTBK | | Noise Control | Active Noise Cancellation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | U.S. Two-Year Limited End-User Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 47 Ohm ## Images ![Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black (ATH-SR50BTBK) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k0K7zNCXL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black (ATH-SR50BTBK) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a0gTm3T4L.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black (ATH-SR50BTBK) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715pYrij6kL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black (ATH-SR50BTBK) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QKUmZNMOL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Black (ATH-SR50BTBK) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716GVUMVd5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a way to disable to headphone earcup touch controls? I feel like maybe accidentally activating one of the controls while just readjusting?** A: As far as I know, there is no straightforward way to disable the touch controls. However in my use it's very rare to accidentally activate any of the touch controls in normal use. I've done it maybe twice in the 4 months I've had it. **Q: If you have them plugged in with the 3.5 mm, does it still use the battery or does it utilize the power from the cable?** A: When plugged in, it uses power from your phone like normal headphones. However, if the headphones have available battery power they will use that for the hear-through or noise-reduction modes. So if you don't use either of those it will not consume any battery power. **Q: Is there a special button to turn on the microphone? I got this headset last week and the microphone used to work but now it's not working.** A: I checked the headset and the app, but I couldn't find any settings for the microphone. **Q: Can you turn off the ANC?** A: Yes. They're 3 modes hear through.

Though it is honestly the least important to me. They sound amazing, but this is also a con. They work wonderfully. and the touch options weren't even something I noticed when I bought them. Head band doesn't crush you and is comfy CONs: The quick start directions are just that. VIA BT on at least Windows 10 there are two different audio devices. For music and fidelity you do NOT want the hands free one, which presents as the default device on my unit. IDK if this is specifically a Windows thing or it is programmed. Enabling the other device that does not explicitly state hands free allows for MUCH better sound. It also allows you to enable spacial sound in the audio CP called "Microsoft Sonic" and it sounds fantastic. It should also be noted touch volume control only works when the main non hands free device is in use ( makes sense). At first I didn't notice I was on the HF device and while voices were good actual rhythm seemed very shallow. This makes sense as I believe it is more meant for calls. But if you don't change this you will be extraordinarily disappointed in the way music sounds in HF mode. The only other con would be the muffs. I REALLY wish AT would include a velour option or set you can purchase. While I understand this can DRASTICALLY change the sound dynamic of a headset extended wearing gets sticky if you are in a hot environment. Other Thoughts: Great headphones. quick run down. There are 3 modes. Put your entire palm over the left speaker with them on. It only takes a few seconds and the headset will chirp and tell you (via a voice) what is enabled. The quick start guide only indicates two but there are 3 toggles. - Hear Through (This allows you to hear whats going on near you) - Off (pretty much sounds like you are wearing a headset) - Noise Cancellation (actively fights outside noise) With that said audio quality does not seem super affected by the mode setting which I really thought it would. The noise cancellation is straight magic iv never experienced something like it. I am around 10ft from my AC air handler closet and wow. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/132219352-audio-technica-ath-sr50bt-bluetooth-wireless-over-ear-headphones-black](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/132219352-audio-technica-ath-sr50bt-bluetooth-wireless-over-ear-headphones-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
