Why we recommend this

The 45mm dynamic drivers and AK4331 DAC deliver the same studio-grade sound as the wired M50x, now wirelessly with BT 5.0 and multipoint. A 50-hour battery with a 10-minute charge for 3 hours of playback, plus low-latency mode and dual beamforming mics, make it practical for calls and streaming. Best for studio and music listeners who want a reliable wireless version of a classic, though commuters may find the 454g weight heavy.
