ATH-M50xBT Cable, Coiled Aux Cord Replacement for Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT2
Quick take
This coiled aux cable is made to replace or extend compatible Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphone cables, adding a longer, tangle-friendlier run (about 4 ft, extended up to 14 ft). It uses a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) TRS connection and includes a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) adapter for flexible device matching, but the coil design is tight, so maximum extension can feel stiff.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Coiled, flexible spring design that’s easier to manage than a straight cable.
- 3.5mm TRS male to 3.5mm TRS male plus a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) adapter for more device options.
- Designed as a replacement for multiple Audio-Technica Bluetooth models (not wired versions).
- Reviewed as well constructed, with connectors that don’t produce noticeable static during use.
Cons
- Coil is reported to be very tight, so 14 ft extension may feel like a very stiff stretch.
- Jacket material is described as PVC-like, which may feel less supple than rubberized cables.
- Compatibility is model-specific, and it is not meant for Audio-Technica wired headphone models.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is limited but consistent on a few key points. Several buyers describe the cable as well built, with coiling that stretches without excessive resistance and overall good material feel.
What this cable is for
This is a coiled 3.5mm headphone aux cable intended for specific Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphone lineups that use an aux-style connection. If your ATH-M50xBT2 (and certain related models) need a replacement cable, or you want extra reach at your desk, studio bench, or listening spot, this is the category of accessory that helps you keep movement while reducing cable tangles.
Compatibility and connection details you should check
Before buying, confirm two things: (1) your headphone model is in the supported Bluetooth list, and (2) your source device uses a matching 3.5mm or 6.35mm input. This cable is built around a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) TRS male to 3.5mm (1/8-inch) TRS male connection, and it includes a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) adapter for gear with quarter-inch inputs.
Supported fit (Bluetooth models): ATH-M50xBT, ATH-M50xBT2, ATH-SR50BT, and several similarly named variants listed by the product (including multiple SR6/S700/WS series Bluetooth headsets). Not for wired Audio-Technica headsets.
Length behavior: about 1.2 m (4 ft) and extending to about 4.5 m (14 ft). Because it is a spring-coiled cable, the feel at longer lengths can be tighter than a straight extension.
Coiled cable pros for everyday setups
A coiled headphone cable is often a practical upgrade for workstation and “move around” listening. The coil helps keep slack from pooling across your desk and floor, which can matter if you stand up often, route cables around monitors, or want a cleaner footprint while producing, mixing, or DJing at close range.
Audio and build expectations
The cable is marketed as using premium PVC and copper wire, with twist-lock and gold-plated tips intended to support a secure connection. Buyer feedback aligns with a “works as expected” experience, with at least one review calling out no staticky connectors during moderate use and another describing the cord as soft and durable. As always with coiled designs, real-world comfort at maximum extension depends on how much tension you’re creating as you stretch the spring.
Pros and cons recap
- Best for: shoppers who need a compatible replacement or extension cable for the specified Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphone models, and who prefer a coiled cable for easier cable management.
- Who should buy: desk listeners, studio users, and anyone using a 3.5mm headphone output (plus those who need the included 6.35mm adapter).
- Who should avoid: buyers with Audio-Technica wired headphones, or anyone who strongly dislikes stiff cables at long stretch lengths (the coil is reported as tight).
Alternatives to consider (based on your priorities)
- If you need maximum flexibility at long distances: a straight extension cable may feel easier to manage than a coiled spring when fully stretched.
- If you only need extra reach from one fixed device: focus on the connector format you need (3.5mm vs 6.35mm) and choose a cable rated for headphone line-level use that matches your setup.
- If you want coil-free cable management: consider shorter extensions paired with better cable routing (clips, sleeves) rather than maximizing cable length.
Verdict
The ATH-M50xBT coiled aux replacement cable is a practical choice if you own a compatible Audio-Technica Bluetooth model and want longer reach with less mess than a straight cord. The main caution is coil tightness and a PVC-like jacket feel, which can make full extension stiffer than expected. If you’ll mostly use the cable in the shorter-to-mid range, it looks like a straightforward way to get your headphones back in action with more comfortable cable handling.
FAQ
What headphones is this cable compatible with?
It’s intended for specific Audio-Technica Bluetooth headphone models in the supported list (including the ATH-M50xBT and ATH-M50xBT2 lines, SR50BT and related variants). It is not for Audio-Technica wired headsets.
Does it work with devices that have a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) input?
Yes. It includes a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) adapter alongside the main 3.5mm (1/8-inch) TRS connection.
How long is the cable when extended?
It is approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) and extends up to about 4.5 m (14 ft), but the coiled design can feel tight at longer reaches.
Is this cable meant to improve audio quality?
The goal is to provide a stable connection and reliable signal transmission for compatible headphones. Buyer feedback describes sound as satisfactory, but this is primarily a fit and cable-management replacement rather than an “upgrade” over the original headphone electronics.
Will the coiled cable tangle?
Coiled cables are generally easier to manage than straight cables because they keep slack from hanging loosely. However, they still need to be handled appropriately to avoid over-stretching.
