Audio-Technica has revealed both a new wireless Bluetooth over-ear headphone model as well as a series of wireless Bluetooth in-ear headphones. Unlike the brand’s other recent reveal — the upmarket ATH-ADX5000 (which comes with its own suitcase!) — all these newly released models are affordably priced, but still have quality-conscious listeners in mind.

The ATH-AR5BT over-ear model follows the ATH-AR3BT, released earlier this year. Many specs are shared between the two wireless headphones, like a 30 hour battery life and support for Bluetooth aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs. But, there are some upgrades. The new AR5BT has a greater frequency range, from 5 to 40,000 Hz, and a slightly bigger 45mm driver. It also looks to have a visual touch-up with a slightly sleeker design, what appears to be larger ear cups, and additional color options, including a bright-red model.
