Stow, OH 07-15-2020 – Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 50 years, today announced the introduction of its ATH-M50xPB Professional Monitor Headphones and ATH-M50xBTPB Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, limited-edition purple/black versions of Audio-Technica’s acclaimed M-Series ATH-M50x and ATH-M50xBT headphones. The headphones feature metallic purple earcups and black accents, giving these popular models a distinctive, bold new appearance.

Originally designed as professional studio monitor headphones, the ATH-M50x has crossed over into the consumer market and become a favorite of listeners worldwide. The ATH-M50xBT offers the sonic advantages that have made the ATH-M50x an audio industry standard and adds the convenience of wireless operation.

From its 45 mm large-aperture drivers to its sound-isolating earcups and robust construction, the ATH-M50xPB (SRP: $US169.00) provides an unmatched listening experience for the most critical consumer audio applications, including home recording, podcasting, remote learning and listening for personal enjoyment.

These wireless headphones are compatible with aptX® and AAC codecs for the best-possible wireless audio reproduction and feature convenient earcup-mounted controls. An internal battery provides up to 40 hours on a full charge and the ATH-M50xBTPB can also be used in wired mode.
