Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT Wireless Over-Ear Headphone with Mic (Black)

ATH-SR50BT

The ATH-SR50BT wireless over-ear headphones deliver the exceptionally pure audio of Sound Reality in a convenient wireless design. The headphones are compatible with the high-quality aptX and AAC codes, in addition to the standard SBC codec, to provide exhilarating, full-range audio from the Bluetooth® wireless signal. The headphones’ specially designed 45 mm drivers are also capable of Hi-Res Audio reproduction when used with the included 1.2 m (3.9') detachable cable. The ATH-SR50BT headphones are equipped with a mic and touch-sensor controls in the left earcup, making it easy to answer caalls, adjust volume and handle music playback on smartphones and other devices.

HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO IN BRIEF

The Move to Hi-Res Audio While many listeners may believe that high-resolution audio came along with the introduction of the Compact Disc in 1982, constraints on the disc’s storage space always prevented CD audio (standardized at 44.1 kHz/16-bit) from fully and completely reproducing the original recorded sound. The advent and subsequent popularity of MP3s only made this problem more pronounced – the necessary compression of these files causes audio information to be lost, thus greatly reducing the audio quality. But with lossless audio file formats, faster Internet speeds, and storage space increasingly easy to come by (and in ever-smaller packages), the push is on to create audio equipment capable of capturing and reproducing true Hi-Res Audio
