Audio-Technica | Connect

These are one of the best sounding headphones and at a very reasonable price for the quality sound you get. I do love the overall sound quality of my ATH-M50xBT2 headphones! I prefer their sound over any Bluetooth headphones I have listened to(The equalizer in this app helped me get the sound that I totally enjoy )Thank you Audio-Technica!

I use the AT-Connect app with two different pairs of headphones - the over-ear ATH-M50X50BT2 (Lantern Glow) and the true wireless ATH-CKS50TW. The app functions are very similar, and for both models there’s a customizable graphic EQ in addition to presets. Only the M50BT2 has the additional parametric EQ, which is great & really allows the knowledgeable user to adjust the sound on a more granular level. I wish Audio Technica would include the parametric option for its earbuds, too! Regardless, it is among the best of these kinds of apps. *********edit, late autumn 2025: I’ve since gotten the ATH-CKS30TW+ earbuds too and I hate only having AT’s presets in the app’s EQ. WHY don’t they also provide the ability to create a custom setting??? I love everything about the buds otherwise, but I never use them. AT - do better!

For a high-end audio company, you wouldn’t think it after this app. No EQ adjustment for my $200+ headphones? I’m sorry, is this 1995? Even Sennheiser has that available for its $40 earbuds. A 90 minute firmware update only to then tell me to plug it into a computer to complete? You need to inform the user about requiring a computer for updates BEFORE it starts otherwise I wouldn’t have rendered my headphones useless for this 4 hour trip! How did this not occur to anyone before pushing the update? You had time to make that ridiculous diagram showing how to push all three side-buttons, the janky-at-best touch pad, AND your phone screen all at the same time as a step in the update process. Can’t wait for to not be able to use them at my destination either. The power switch is software based so with a functionally bricked headset I can’t even turn it off! Just way too many quality of life features (that are pretty basic I’d say) are missing and I’m very disappointed.
