Dumb question incoming: I used to own a pair of ATH-M30’s that I loved and lasted me a long time. But eventually they started to break apart and I decided to upgrade. Now I’m looking at the M50X’s and can’t decide between the Bluetooth version or regular, for one one single reason: Does the Bluetooth version suffer from inferior audio quality when plugged in due to them being adapted to use wireless technology? As in, will the wired-only ones provide superior sound because it’s direct from source to headphone, with nothing in between to degrade fidelity? I think having Bluetooth would be useful for watching YouTube videos, etc., but if having the tech shoved in there negatively affects wired performance, then I’d rather not.

Hmm, yeah I never noticed sync issues when I’d watch YouTube videos or movies on Prime with my Anker Bluetooth earbuds. Comboomer brought up a good point, though. I feel like I’d be wasting money on something that’ll eventually stop working long before the headphones themselves do. And I just realized I have to buy a patented Steve Jobs Dongle to plug it into my iPhone, which adds another $10 to a product I’m already iffy on. I’m gonna go ahead and get the regular wired ones. I think they’re the better deal in the long run. Thanks guys.

njsykora posted:Something to bear in mind with wireless over-ear headphones is that most of them now have an aux port so they can be used wired as well, so long term battery life is less of a concern than with wireless earbuds. So when the battery shits itself you can still use them. Sure, but I want the complete package to last me 7+ years like my M40’s did rather than one part failing at roughly 2 to 3 while the other works fine, you know what I mean? Those extra 30 bucks could go towards another pair of Anker earbuds when mine eventually die, and they’re more practical for day-to-day. Yeah, I agree with you. As lovely as it is for the environment, I consider my Ankers to be disposable and good enough for things that aren’t movies, music, etc. I figure that I’m willing to pay a premium for superior music listening, but not for YouTube and audiobooks. I can’t even fork over the money for Apple’s Bluetooth stuff, though I also think highly of them (half my tech is Apple). The puny batteries in Bluetooth earbuds aren’t worth such a high price, for me at least.
