audio technica / ATHM50XBT2MEP

Variations

A great value set of audio technica's popular wireless monitor headphones and high quality mesh ear pads (HP-M50xSTS)!

■Sound quality inherited from M50x dedicated driver
・Using a uniquely developed large-diameter 45mm driver and dedicated amplifier, it achieves outstanding transparency in a wide frequency range and reproduces deep and accurate bass.

■DAC & headphone amplifier that leads to sound faithful to the original sound
・Uses AKM Hi-Fi DAC & headphone amplifier (AK4331). It supports 96kHz/24bit and plays high resolution sound sources transmitted with LDAC's high quality codec.

■PML-CAP? capacitor made by Rubicon that achieves low noise and low distortion
-A chip-type thin-film polymer multilayer capacitor, which is an ultra-miniature version of the audio-grade capacitors used in high-end amplifiers, is used in the power supply circuit of the DAC and headphone amplifier (AK4331). By stabilizing the current, noise and sound distortion are suppressed, and highly pure sound is reproduced.

■Compatible with LDAC codec that allows you to listen to high-quality sound equivalent to high resolution
- Supports up to 96kHz/24bit and reproduces near-lossless sound quality with wideband and high dynamic range. It also supports AAC/SBC codecs.

■Low Latency Mode to reduce the lag between sound and video*
・Enjoy playback with minimal sound delay when watching videos or playing games on your smartphone or tablet. Switching between low-latency modes is done in the app.
(*) Bluetooth communication may be interrupted easily due to obstacles or radio wave conditions.

■Beamforming technology for clear calls
・Small, high-performance MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) microphones are laid out in two locations on the headphone housing. Beamforming technology (*) using these two microphones allows you to clearly hear your voice even in environments with a lot of surrounding noise.
(*) The accuracy of call quality is improved by providing directivity toward the speaker's mouth and accurately picking up the voice.

■Sidetone function that supports natural calls
- When making a call, you can hear your own voice and surrounding sounds through the microphone, reducing the degree of sealing even when you are wearing headphones. Your voice is louder than necessary
(*) You can turn the sidetone function ON/OFF at any time using the dedicated app ""Connect.""

■Mic mute function that prevents unnecessary sounds from being picked up during calls

■Supports multi-point connection to two Bluetooth devices at the same time

■Compatible with Amazon Alexa (*) to make your everyday life more convenient and enjoyable
(*) Amazon Alexa can be used after changing the key operations using the dedicated app ""Connect"". Please refer to Amazon's homepage for other features.

定番であり、そして終着点

投稿者名Reviewed by：がきお【千葉県】

DTMを齧っていた程度の頃、定番として所有しており、ファーストインプレッションはなんとなくいい音だな……程度。
結局どの音が正解かわからずにいわゆる沼に嵌ってしまった。

SONY、ベイヤー、その他のオーテク、YAMAHAなどの定番をいろいろ試した結果、未だ続く音圧戦争、現代音楽の低域、サブベースの重要性を改めて感じ、原点に返った。

しかし、改めて聴くと少し低域がこもってマスキングされ、それがボーカルにも影響を受けているというのがセカンドインプレッション。

しかし、メッシュイヤーパッドに付け替えた所、マスキングやこもりが払拭された。
定位も感じられるように。
別物になる為、是非試してもらいたい。

正直、定位やエフェクト成分がわかり易いのはやはり開放型であるが、一つの指標を作りたい、自分の基準にしたいヘッドホンが必要な場合には重宝するだろう。

尚、低域、ドンシャリ成分が強過ぎるわけではない。
モニターとしては充分出ている、むしろ丁度いいとさえ感じる。
やはり好みの音で作業をするのは非常に大事であることを痛感。

BTの場合、ケーブル長さが短い為、リケーブルにおすすめなのはMOGAMI辺りだろうか？
外出時のミックスなどのチェックにはこのBluetoothが重宝されることは間違いない。
表題の通り、これは定番であり、一つの終着点である。
