This is about the M20xBT, but I'll begin with my feelings about the M50 model. I've owned a pair of ATH-M50 headphones (with built in cable) for about 7 years and I've become a bit fed with it, why? Comfortability & price. That model does squeeze against my head, and presses against parts of my ears because the pads are thick. I can't stand to wear them for more than ~30 minutes max before I feel like taking them off. The sound however was good. Not terrific or outstanding but it's good. I like the M50xbt model even less, and I don't even own those.
The regular ATH-M50 cost roughly $70-$80 in 2017. And now a bluetooth model costs about $180. Because the bluetooth needs to be $100 more. lmao.
So I wanted to try the ATH-M20xBT. These headphones are just about perfect for me at nearly every angle I can currently think of. I can literally call these "over ear" headphones because these don't press against my ears at all. The pads are just the right thickness; the contour of their design nests comfortably around my own ears. The materials don't weigh a lot, they sit light and comfortably on my head. I don't grow fatigued with them like other headphones that clamp hard against the skull. Before I knew it I was wearing these for more than an hour multiple times. They're just really comfortable to wear.
The price was on point. If you're not an audiophile and have an opportunity to buy these for $60-$70 or even less, do try them. Try not to waste your money on these @ $80+
Sound is servicable, it's good. Not top of the line outstanding quality for the price range, but if you like a bit of bass you would enjoy these. They become even better if you have access to an audio app with built in equalizer settings.
The material construction is also serviceable and don't bother with these if you dislike exposed wires, but I don't mind them. Take care of them like any other headphones and they are likely to last a while.
