so these are the a th m50x from Audio Technica a cult favorite that then became one of the bestsellers one of the most popular headphones on all of Amazon okay fine so it's a great headphone it's a popular headphone why are you talking about it right now Lou what's happening what has developed something very exciting in fact so many of you have gone out and bought this headphone but you've been stuck you're sitting at home with the wired connection or you have the wire heading out from this port here to your mobile device or wherever it is that your audio source lives but today I got this product over here from a company called East Brooklyn labs the be Al - m50x this is a Bluetooth adapter specifically for the m50x this little guy will plug in to where your cord normally would plug in and you will pair up to the adapter it's modular it's beautiful now this isn't the first solution I have found for taking a wired headphone and making it Wireless there in fact other ways to do that as well from various brands so here's an adapter from a company called air mod and they're focusing on the Bose products so the qc25 in the QC 15 here are a couple products to turn those headphones into Wireless and they fit in there perfectly as well and then we've got this company here EXO audio they make similar adapters but for Beats headphones so here's one for the Beats Studio here's one for the beats solo2 and then the last one is this one here it's called air link now to me these are the two most exciting why because I've got some m50x already and because the air link takes any headphone and makes it Wireless so this little guy this little module would you look at that how pretty is that little thing so this will clip on to your shirt your sweater pocket coat something like that and not only does it give you control over volume your microphone for answering phone calls and even what looks like a shutter button for a camera right there this clips here the ear pods go up and into your ears and now you're not tethered to your pocket I know before you say it I know what you want to say you want to see but that's not actually Wireless because there's a wire going to this module but it is a lot more can then having the wire go all the way down to the pocket so with a product like this you're able to shorten the distance from the cord to your ears okay so that's cool the air link the other adapters that I mentioned earlier exciting stuff if you have one of those pairs of headphones or if you want the universal one but the one that I'm most pumped up for is this one here from East Brooklyn labs because like I said the iconic m50x now gets the Bluetooth treatment it now turns into a bluetooth headphone and best of both worlds here you can still use it with a wire if you want to so let's crack this open see what it's all about so it has a similar shape to those beats adapters that I showed you earlier also in the package is a tiny little micro USB cable to keep this thing charged up and then the adapter itself it's got a matte finish on it which I like so it shouldn't get too many fingerprints your power switch is over here and let's see how it fits in so this is the design of the m50x if you've never seen it it has this channel which moves downloaded oh you might be wondering as well Lou what's up with your m50x why you have the cool color on there so this is a D brand skin actually allowing you to customize the look of the m50x I told you it's that popular they even made a skin for this how many people have this headphone and worth mentioning before I insert this the m50x doesn't allow for a 3.5 millimeter connection on the headphone side it's actually smaller it's 2.5 millimeter right there okay so let's go ahead and check out this fit here ooh I like that so the way that they've built this this is cool design here this section of the headphone sinks into this section of the adapter right here so it doesn't hang down too low it's not it's not much of an obstruction at all in fact it only increases the length of the ear cup by not even half an inch and that's what it looks like when you're wearing it so well here I mean it's really not a big deal it has hardly any weight to it and all of a sudden my favorite headphones are now Wireless I mean that's cool so there you can see see that little blue light it might be tough to see because it's lit up in here but the blue light starts flashing immediately when you have the power switch flipped on I mentioned that this charges up over microUSB and then on the front you have your controls the Bluetooth button volume up and down I think it's impairing mode immediately though because it is flashing blue right now see that there so let's check if it's available m50x bao m50x it's now I'm gonna put these on and let's see how this sounds through the adapter so as far as the button in the middle goes I think you might hold it to re-establish a Bluetooth connection but if you tap it it pauses what you're listening to so you need to have a conversation and tap it again and then it picks up again they've done a serious job here I am beyond impressed that is a package the m50x is already a great headphone one of the minor drawbacks you can't use it wirelessly now you can without giving up the wired capabilities the sound quality though is probably the most impressive part lots of juice which I didn't expect on a large / ear headphone and just overall punchy it sounds good I would recommend this if you have an m50x or you're thinking of getting an m50x this is probably the best companion piece that you could add to it I'll link it down below in the description they've done a great job just remember this isn't your only Avenue as I mentioned earlier in the video there are solutions to essentially turn any wired headphone into a wireless headphone including earbuds and so on with the universal adapter I showed you called the air link and then of course the separate products for the beats headphones and the Bose headphones I just think this is probably my favorite of the bunch so check these guys out oh and also worth mentioning the company that makes this adapt their East Brooklyn labs they're claiming a 5 hour runtime so 5 hours of listening on a single charge and I also just noticed not only is it available on Amazon but you can get it bundled so you get the headphones and the adapter all in one package either way I'll link it down below you
