The ATH-S220BT delivers clear, powerful sound, thanks to its 40 mm drivers, and its low-latency wireless mode assures minimal delay between the audio and video for the best-possible streaming, gaming and video viewing. The ATH-S220BT is Bluetooth^® 5.0-compatible and also can be used as wired headphones with the included 3.9-foot (1.2 m) cable.

A built-in microphone enables clear, hands-free calling, without the need for an external mic. The ATH-S220BT’s Fast Pair feature allows pairing with compatible Android™ devices with just a single tap, and convenient ear cup controls provide easy operation of a connected device when playing music or making a call. The controls are compatible with Siri^® and Google Assistant™, for fast access to voice recognition, messages, map navigation and other features. In addition, the ATH-S220BT’s Voice Guidance function can be used to provide notifications about remaining battery level, pairing status and more.
