Audio-Technica has debuted its latest premium wireless headphones, the ATH-SR50BT and the ATH-SR30BT at IFA 2018, with the SR30BTs offering up a huge 70-hour battery life.

Quality sound
Combining cutting edge audio technology with the freedom of wireless listening, both sets of headphones come with touch and swipe controls on the left housing, which can be used to control the volume, as well as a switchable hear-through function so you can tune in to your environment.
The ATH-SR50BTs boast an impressive 25 hour battery life, a fold-flat design for easy storage, and come in classic black or brown-grey finishes. 45mm drivers are said to ensure accurate and dynamic audio delivery over a wireless connection, and audiophiles can opt for the use the included 1.2m cable for studio quality playback.
