Wireless over-ear headphones with high-resolution audio support, featuring 45mm dynamic drivers and a built-in microphone for calls. They offer approximately 30 hours of continuous battery life and a detachable cable for wired use.
The Audio-Technica ATH-AR5BT is a wireless over-ear headphone that balances a wide, clear soundstage with a forward upper-midrange for added vocal clarity, though it can fatigue at higher volumes. It offers a generous 30-hour battery life and reliable Bluetooth connectivity, making it a solid choice for long listening sessions. Its passive isolation is decent, but it lacks active noise cancellation and water resistance.

3:46The reviewer finds the Audio-Technica ATH-AR5BT to be a solid, well-priced pair of wireless headphones, praising their excellent battery life, stable wireless connection, and balanced overall sound. However, they note that the upper mids can be harsh, especially before burn-in, and that the build uses plastic in many places despite some aluminum accents.
