Audio-Technica ATH-SR6BTBK Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear High Resolution Headphones with Mic & Control, Black

tl;dr - (Sound Technician Review) Beautiful sound, NEUTRAL SOUNDSTAGE, high quality, fast Bluetooth pairing. Pros: - Build Quality - Sound Quality - Fast Bluetooth Pairing - Upscale Packaging - Included Accessories (wired cable, carrying bag) - Very Well Constructed - Very Soft Cons - Multi Function button takes a little getting used to - Just a little small for over the ear (for adults) but still very comfortable When these came in the mail I opened them and was blown away by the upscale packaging. I know that's just a cosmetic thing, but it impressed me. When I took them out of the box they paired quickly with both an Android device and then (after forgetting that pairing) an iPhone. The sound quality is superb for the price you pay. These do not compete with my studio monitor headphones (ATH M50x) but they were never designed to do that. I tested them in the wired configuration listening to a wide variety of music. From house party to rap, country to classical The sound was faithfully reproduced across all genres. These are not your "bass heavy" Beats-style headphones. They have a neutral soundstage. This means that the music comes across exactly as the artist intended. Most people have never really heard music in a neutral soundstage so it seems a little off to them. For some reason, headphone makers think everybody wants a ton of bass... Use flash, I'd rather have a neutral sound stage and adjust the EQ to my liking! Rest assured, these headphones handle EQ settings very well and can deliver enough bass to make any listening experience joyful. Switching over to wireless, there is a slight degradation and sound quality but not enough that I was disappointed. Quite honestly, it was the opposite. I was prepared for a significant worsening of quality and the minimal step off is more than acceptable. Build quality is fantastic. The headband is very soft. After wearing them for four straight hours, they are a little tight on my head but not enough to be uncomfortable. In the wired setting, the inline mic is excellent and I am using it to type this review. Changing over to Bluetooth and the mic suffers fairly significant loss of quality comparatively. However, it is still more than adequate for phone calls. Because they have only been owned for a couple of weeks, I cannot speak to the long-term battery life. In the end, I am very impressed... And, when it comes to music, I am exceedingly particular. I will be purchasing several more pairs to give to each of my children as gifts. This pair will be given to one of them this week and I know they will be used extensively over the next several months. If there are any negative findings, I will update this review accordingly. And my humble opinion, they are not worth the full price of $150... But on sale, they are worth every penny. If this review helped you, would love to have a thumbs up! Disclaimer: These headphones were purchased with my own money and I do not work for Audio-Tecnica!

High quality, solid price. Love that you can remotely adjust the equalizer for optimal bass. Just never try using them with all the settings turned down. it was like I plugged into the void and felt my soul drain.

What other reviewers wrote about the sound signature of these headphones is true: they definitely emphasize the treble high notes and vocals to the detriment of the bass. Coming off of Shure in-ear monitors, my first impression was “it’s so hollow and tinny!” I am not a bass-heavy listener by any means, but I do like my bass to be more well-rounded than what these headphones provide natively. That said, they are not totally intolerable if you are willing to make some adjustments and understand where the compromises are. Firstly: it needs an EQ. Whereas my Shure makes all the EQ on my iPhone sound the same, with these you can REALLY tell the difference of what each EQ is doing and how it may help/worsen the “tinny” sound (it makes sense because these are audio monitoring headphones so differences between different sound signatures would be especially amplified). I use the Treble Reducer and turn up the volume. It restores enough oompf to the bass that my music sounds great again. It’s only after this that I can really appreciate the clarity of the Audio-Technica technology. The notes are bright and clear, not muddled. A lot of it actually also depends on the song itself, how it’s made, what instrument it uses. Songs that sound great on my Shure may not do so on these, and vice versa. The only downside to this is that the EQ is only applicable to the native Apple Music app, so if you listen mostly on other platforms like Spotify or SoundCloud, you may need some other third party app to provide you with an EQ. I also use these on my work laptop which has the Dolby Audio EQ on it; it’s great because it allows me to customize the levels to get it to a perfect balance. Second: sound quality on Bluetooth does take a hit, as already mentioned by others, in the sense that the tinniness/scratchiness comes back even with the EQ. I mostly use the Bluetooth only when I’m watching YouTube videos before bed at night though, so for me it’s not a huge issue and I’m willing to compromise. It’s the main reason why I went with this model that allows a wired connection, because I knew Bluetooth in general means a drop in sound quality for any brand of headphones. Connectivity is great though, I haven’t had any issues connecting or any signal dropping/warping. As for battery life, I haven’t charged them at all since opening them a few days ago, and it seems like they’re still going pretty strong. Third: the soundstage is pretty roomy. With in-ear monitors, you get the sound directly into your ears so it sounds like the musician is singing right next to your ears. With these, it sounds like they are performing in front of you in a room. This isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing, it’s more just personal preference; but it is different if you’re used to normal earbuds or in-ear headphones. Finally: comfort. This is where these excel. They are lightweight, feel nice and soft, and fit my head pretty perfectly. Obviously now that I am working from home all the time, I’ve been wearing them for long hours and I haven’t had any pain at all. I was even able to wear my glasses with them on yesterday and it was still comfortable the whole day. It’ll definitely be nice to wear them on a long-haul flight (not anytime soon though). On that note, they isolate sound pretty well, even without active noise canceling. Also, they look really cool; they make any wearer instantly look like someone who does audio monitoring for a living. In conclusion, I understand why some people would want to return these after putting them on and hearing the sound for the first time. Would I have paid the full $150 price for these? Probably not. But they were on sale at $89, and at that price it’s a steal.

These headphones produce very authentic and clear sound. The music sounds exactly the way it is meant to sound. Instrumentals and vocals are crystal clear and genres like metal, rock, classical sound amazing. They are loud enough and there is plenty of bass. These are 39 ohms headphones and they must be plugged into audio devices with hi-fi DAC amps to get optimal performance. They don't produce full sound when plugged into an ordinary headphone jack. Plug them into a smartphone like LG V40, a device with hi-fi quad DAC amp that can power high impedence headphones and the quality of sound will blow your mind. The wired audio quality of these headphones are far superior than Bluetooth audio quality. Overall, these headphones have great build quality and they produce very detailed sound. They are lightweight, comfortable and they feel very premium. I bought them for $72 only and they offer amazing sound and build quality that are hard to beat at this price point.

These are exactly what I was looking for! After trying out the Sr30bt's and deciding that aptx support and a wired option was something I really needed I landed on these. I'm really glad I did. Clarity is the name of the game here. Big highs big mids and bass that doesnt wash everything out really let this pair of cans shine. I read reviews on here that almost scared me off due the claims of poor volume and fatiguing highs. I'm not sure if they were reviewing the same headphones because these are plenty loud and I can't get enough of the clarity. I tested these with a wide variety of genres with songs from Fleetwood Mac, Monolord, El-P, Fiona Apple, Max Richter, and Behemoth. I was pleased with the results and never felt anything was lacking. In the build quality and looks arena these are definitely a big step up from the nearly all plastic Sr30bt's. They look and feel like more expensive headphones. The ear cups do a passable job in blocking out outside noise and keeping your noise right where it needs to be. The controls were a snap to figure out and placed more accessibly than my Senheisser 4.40's. If I could change one thing about these it would be the size of the ear cups. I could use just a touch more room. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I highly reccomend these headphones to anyone looking to add some clarity to their collection.

I bought these used for half off the original price, and they are amazing. Super comfortable, great build quality and sound quality. They didn’t come with the case sadly, but $50 off is a great deal for these. Update: These seem to have a delay when first playing something, if I’m watching a YouTube video, I always have to restart the video so everything sinks up. If they didn’t have this issue, they would be amazing. Haven’t decided if I want to return them, but this issue makes me want to.

OOOO I was mad at this device after initially connecting my iPhone to the device on bluetooth. The volume was 1/2 that of my previous pair set of cheap bluetooth headphones, and I was annoyed more than usual as I'm sick of everything being a lie and being manipulative... in this context lied/manipulated by amazon reviews into thinking this was about to be a comfy, high quality pair of bt headphones when they actually had a fundamental issue nobody even cared to address. I logged into amazon and was cracking my knuckles ready to leave a sinister review of the ATH-SR6BT headphones. The review I had in mind was going to call out the american populus as a whole, specifically focusing on Amazon users/younger left wing people, and open up my grievances about the upcoming election and the fact biden is democratic nomination. A man who I disliked, then chose KH as the VP, and now hate to my bones, ensuring myself and fellow americans all lose no matter the outcome in November. My review of politics and headphones would've been tied into the media/online presence of younger people, how they are propogating BS using virtual environments as a way to push their lies and candyland outloook on the country/indicting moderates as racists/annoying me with their uppity virtue signaling that is based in rhetoric that's impossible to argue with but is also not a real political argument... just real ugly, unneccesarily politcal, and generally unhelpful opinions on the product and my fellow americans. People who I, until recently, love and revere as some of the nicest, least racist, most open armed and interestingly nutty people on the planet despite the recent madness in our news and election. I stopped writing this piece of garbage, called up a buddy, and distracted myself with some delicious flaming hot popcorns for 20 minutes and returned to the device in a better mood to begin troubleshooting. Onboard volume... the device has it's own chip iniside it that controls device volume. Took 2 minutes to figure out without the manual. This means there are two interfaces with control of the volume, instead of one on the device with master control. Not a feature I need or want, kind of decieving as the volume button on the device is marked with a < > >> ffw mark too, but I discovered the headphones aren't absurdly quiet and actually work great, very comfortable, and look pretty slick. The quality of voice over bluetooth on phone calls is the same as every other pair of "hd mic bt heaphones", aka not THAT hd and worse than your regular phone mic, but that's not the important feature to me on headphone quality, so 5 stars. This discovery did a couple things, it made me feel happy, then guilty, then upset. The fix also makes the reviews true, makes me wrong about the reviewers, makes me feel like an idiot for trying to bring politics into a gd heaphones review, and generally allows me to write a non-biased objective description of my personal experience with my purchase. So americans, and other peeps around the world, stop getting mad about politics and hating people who disagree with you. You're the problem if you can't separate politics from your daily ongoings like I did today, and let's face it, you can't speak to/have enough context for 95% of the crap you're all angry about right now. Best thing you can do for yourself and those you care for is discuss why we all disagree with each other so much, see if there are some easy first steps to take even if we disagree, and make sure we elect higher quality people in our elections to come. You've even got the smarties all polarized to hell right now, and that's a recipe for extremism, and not extremism is the good way america normally embraces and does well with. Don't hate the country and extend that hate to people who may have dumb politics, it's not the criteria of a good human, friend, or family member. Just try to be the calmer, more dragon-like wise person. Dismiss anyone you hear preaching 100% negative things to say about their opposing party and realize, like about these headphones, most people, ideas, and attitudes require critical thinking and testing before you can be sure of their quality. But being whiny and political and annoyingly one sided about stuff is evil and how stupid ideas slip through the cracks and inevitably make things worse for everyone. So... yea, the heaphones are pretty good, definitely worth the money. Cheers.

I firstly bought one as a present for my girlfriend, Then I tried out and love it, so I decided to buy another one, it has a great battery autonomy, good sound. It doesn't lack of bass like other said, it just have a more plain EQ, so its NOT FOR BASSHEADS. Most people are so used to hearing headphones that all they do is give BASS, well this doesn't , if you like crispy sound, closer to what a master is and for a great price, then buy this. Perfect For: * Rock: Hard, Soft, Classic * Metal: Progressive, Heavy, Classic * Classical Music * Computer: Netflix, Youtube, Disney+, Zoom, Calls.

Los mejores audífonos que he comprado, en resumen, me leí todos los reviews y vi todos los videos de YouTube y el truco es, si tu dispositivo donde escucharás música, trae ecualizador gráfico, yaaaa estaaaas dentro, en Flat se escucha brilloso y los graves presentes pero no los "sientes", todo esto cambia cuando lo ecualizas a tu gusto, con eso se vuelve, al menos para mí, el mejor sonido por encima de los Sennheiser 4.50 y los Marshall Major 3, los anteriores que he tenido. Con cable se escucha mejor que en bluetooth, como bien indica la caja; la bolsita está buena al menos en lo que te consigues tu funda rígida, ultra cómodos, los tuve 8 horas seguidas y sin problema; al ser bluetooth 4.1, te indica el nivel de batería en la pantalla y debió bajar un 20% después de un día de escuchar bastante y con cable no se consume la batería. El micrófono se escucha normal y en resumen, son los mejores audífonos todo terreno (Música bluetooth con Spotify, edición de audio por cable en pc y para jugar ps4) que podrás comprar con 2000 pesos si los agarras en oferta. Tienen buen aislamiento hacia el interior y poca filtración de audio hacia el exterior (no te verán feo en el ADO al 80% de volumen).

These are super comfortable, even after an 1 1/2hrs you don't even know they are there. Soft ear cups, head band and very light Easy pairing, volume control and song skipping. They feel secure and stay in place as well. If you use these for talking on the phone a couple things. The sound is crisp and clear on your end always. If you use just the headphones without the mic cable it will sound distant and lower volume to the other person ios or android no difference. If you use the mic cable it is just like using your phone crisp and clear for both. Just something to be aware of. I have smaller ears and these completely cover my ears perfectly, if you have big ears i would say it will feel more like an on the ear headset. Super happy with them and highly recommend them. Better then any beats i have used. Fyi if you are a crazy bass person you can adjust the bass on your phone. These people who say you can't get deep bass don't know how to use their smartphones fully. Hope this helps someone.

Tienen un sonido impresionante Había tenido unos audiotechnica Ath-M40x, y adquirí estos apenas hace algunos días. Elegí estos por que las reseñas decían que no tenía tanta potencia en los graves. Y yo soy de los que disfrutan música acústica, clásica, me gusta disfrutar cada instrumento, guitarras, pianos, metales etc. Y la verdad son excelentes, las voces son frontales y la música se escucha espaciadas. Aunque si me hubieran gustado un poquito más de bajos para que sonarán más dinámicos. Pero aún así por el precio me parecen excelentes, las almohadillas son excelentes, al menos en mi caso se me Hicieron muy cómodos y calzaron bien en mis orejas, los he usado hasta por 4 horas seguidas y no me generan cansancio de ningún tipo. Acostarte y escuchar música en silencio es un deleite con estos audífonos y si le pones el cable con micrófono incluido, se mejora un poco más, sobre todo en las frecuencias medias. Solo hice una llamada con ellos y me decían que se escuchaba mucho ruido, entonces supongo que el micrófono es algo mediocre, y el del cable es mejor, pero aun así creo que no es tan bueno, termine hablando con el teléfono por que así me escuchaban mejor, pero solo hice una llamada quizás fue esa única ocasión Por último, los materiales y la construcción son lo mejor que pueden encontrar por los aprox 150 dls que valen

I really wanted to love these. And while I do like them and use them daily, I was a little disappointed with them. I've been using the Audio technica ATH-m40x headphones for years and adore them but I wanted lighter weight wireless headphones so I went with Audio Technica again with absolute confidence. I do love how much lighter they are. Wearing these for any length of time is no problem. I have smaller ears so they do work as an over-ear headphone for me as specified. The ear cushions are comfortable as well, though I could see how they might not fit as well on anyone with larger ears. The wireless function works great, and the battery lasts much longer than expected. I've walked into other rooms of the house and they've maintained clear sound so the bluetooth connection is great. The mic while using bluetooth isn't great, as it feels like I have to talk absurdly loud to be heard, especially if it's noisy around me, so sometimes I'm sure I come off as obnoxious. I really like that the cord has a mic included, and that it's a lot more manageable than the ones provided with the ATH-m40x headphones I have. These are clearly made more for everyday on the go wear and they work well for that. If you're looking for bass, Audio Technica isn't usually the brand to buy for that as the sound quality is more balanced. These are worse than the m40x for that as the bass is barely noticeable, even with sound adjustments through my phone or an app. If you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, you're going to absolutely hate these. The part that disappointed me is that the sound quality isn't any better than my older headphones, and may even be a little worse. While I understand the other ones I have are supposed to be more for the studio, the cost difference between the two just doesn't support the quality. You're basically paying for the convenience of them being wireless. I gave them four stars because I do like them, despite my griping. They're comfortable, lightweight, the wireless function is super convenient as I tend to snag the cord on anything I pass, and the sound quality is on par with my older headphones, thus much better than many other brands. I also purchased them on sale for 40% off so it was an excellent deal.

Audio bueno, duración de batería, muy buena, materiales Excelentes, función de llamadas bueno, entonces porque no 5 estrellas, se siente un producto viejo, pero ese no es problema de la marca, es de quien lo compra. Así que si lo compras no esperes lo último en tecnología, porque tampoco lo estás pagando, en fin, muy buena relación costo - beneficio.
