Audio-Technica recently released their updated ATH-M50x headphones, which don’t stray far from the tried-and-true aesthetics and sound properties but adds slightly better materials and three removable cables for even more versatility. The newest ATH-M50xBT models include Bluetooth wireless functionality but still look and feel almost identical to their non-Bluetooth model.
