Editorial note
The Audio-Technica ATH-AR5BT headphones stand out for their excellent sound quality, offering an impressive frequency range from 5 to 40,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 100 dB. These features ensure an immersive listening experience, ideal for audiophiles.

Their foldable design and lightweight of 242 g make them easy to transport and comfortable during long listening sessions. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The Bluetooth 4.1 technology, while functional, may pose connectivity issues with modern devices, being less efficient than newer versions. Furthermore, although lightweight, the weight of 242 g can become uncomfortable during prolonged use. The 30-hour battery life, while respectable, may not be sufficient for heavy users. Finally, the omnidirectional microphone, while effective, may pick up unwanted ambient noise, detracting from the clarity of recordings. In summary, the Audio-Technica ATH-AR5BT offers a quality audio experience with practical features, but some technical aspects could be improved to meet the expectations of the most demanding users.Score details
