Answer: With the holidays right around the corner, you may be looking for a new pair of headphones for yourself or others. In this article we’ll highlight a few of our newer headphones, truly wireless earbuds, and gaming headset offerings, and hopefully help you select the right headphones for yourself or someone else.
ATH-M20xBT
The ATH-M20xBT is a faithful Bluetooth wireless re-creation of our ATH-M20x professional monitor headphones that are used in countless recording studios throughout the world. The ATH-M20xBT has the same sound signature as its wired counterpart, and boasts additional features such as multipoint pairing, low latency mode, and more. The ATH-M20xBT is a great pair of headphones for everyday use due to its lightweight design and long battery life.
ATH-M50xBT2
The ATH-M50xBT2 is Audio-Technica’s flagship over-ear Bluetooth wireless offering. While maintaining the same look, feel, and sound as the wired ATH-M50x, the ATH-M50xBT2 offers additional sonic customization through the Audio-Technica Connect app. You can find a full list of the features offered for the ATH-M50xBT2 through the A-T Connect app here. If you are looking for studio-quality sound while on the go, then the ATH-M50xBT2 wireless headphones are the right choice for you.
ATH-SQ1TW
If you are looking for a stylish low-profile earbud, then look no further than the ATH-SQ1TW. While providing high-quality audio, the ATH-SQ1TW also comes in a variety of eye-catching colors. The ATH-SQ1TW has features such as hear-through, low latency, and Google Fast Pair, and the earbuds have an IPX4 waterproof rating. The ATH-SQ1TW is a great option if you are looking for earbuds to wear at the gym or on your daily commute.
ATH-CKS50TW
Like the ATH-SQ1TW, the ATH-CKS50TW earbuds are low-profile and truly wireless, with long battery life. However, this model is much more feature-heavy. The ATH-CKS50TW offers features such as adjustable EQ, active noise-cancelling, and Sony 360 Reality Audio support. These earbuds are also integrated with the A-T Connect app to allow the user to customize many aspects of the ATH-CKS50TW functionality and tailor the listening experience to their liking.
ATH-TWX9
The newest addition to the Audio-Technica truly wireless lineup is the ATH-TWX9. This premium offering can provide audiophile-quality playback due to its compatibility with Qualcomm® Snapdragon Sound™ and its 96 kHz sampling rate. The ATH-TWX9 has an extensive list of customizable features via the A-T Connect app and comes with a charging case equipped with a UV LED designed to sanitize the earbuds between uses. The quality and versatility of the ATH-TWX9 puts it at the top of Audio-Technica’s truly wireless offerings.
ATH-GL3
The ATH-GL3 is the newest closed-back gaming headset from Audio-Technica. The GL in ATH-GL3 stands for “Gaming Light,” which is in reference to the headset’s weight. This allows for a more comfortable user experience when worn for an extended period. The headset also comes with a detachable, high-quality hypercardioid boom microphone. The tight directional polar pattern of the hypercardioid element ensures that the microphone will only pick up your voice and not noise from your surroundings. The ATH-GL3 is compatible with all current consoles and computers, and a great option for any gaming setup.
ATH-GLD3
Like the ATH-GL3, the ATH-GLD3 is part of the Gaming Light series. While both headsets utilize many of the same components, the main difference is that the ATH-GLD3 is an open-back headset. Due to this, the ATH-GLD3 is even lighter than the ATH-GL3, and the construction allows for more airflow through the earcup, resulting in less fatigue during longer sessions. However, since the earcups are ported, the ATH-GLD3 will let more sound in and out compared to a closed-back headset.
ATH-G1WL
The ATH-G1WL is Audio-Technica’s flagship wireless gaming headset. This headset is designed to be used with Windows and macOS computers, and utilizes a 2.4 GHz USB transceiver to ensure lag-free wireless operation. The ATH-G1WL is also the only gaming headset Audio-Technica offers that has a selectable 7.1 surround sound mode, making it a perfect match with any gaming computer.
