(I've had them for 18 months) The sound is really really good. I'm not an "audiophile" however they sound great, a little too great. I was using them with my 2019 MacBook Pro plugged into the audio jack and I realized i just didn't enjoy listening to them as much as when I was using Bluetooth to my phone. It led to me dropping $200 on a Shiit DAC and Amp for my Mac, and it's glorious.
They have the low latency over Bluetooth for iPhones, so audio is completely synced with video watching Netlfix / YouTube / etc. The battery level that my iPhone reports for the headphones is non-functional, it always reads 100%. But the battery life is really good. They do charge really slow, but that's probably good for extending the batteries life. They aren't really that heavy at all.
The ear pads that came with it are not comfortable, I'm a big dude with a big head and "normal" ears. I ended up getting the Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam Earpad - Black PU/Velour (Amazon ID: B00ZGGG3KY) to replace the factory ear pads, it did reduce the bass a bit, but they are really comfortable and I don't get hot sweaty ears.
Other than the fit and sound quality, the features are OK, the microphone isn't very good for conference calls. I've never figured out how/where I'm supposed to touch/tap to summon Siri, when I do get it to work it's slow... so I just don't use it. I'd rather it not even be there. The app works fine to update the firmware though the weird finger acrobatics required to get the headphones into firmware update mode is quite difficult. The little metal decorative circle rings fell off, I just glued them back with super glue, they look weird w/o the ring.
Even with all the downsides, these are fantastic. I wear them for 5-6 hours a day at least with no fatigue. I even wore them doing yardwork outside, my sweat wicked through the ear pads and started to rust the screws that hold the ear cups together. I covered the screws with super glue to hopefully seal them off from sweat. I freaking love these headphones.

Thank me when you write your 5 Star review. I guarantee you will love them.
To start, I'm definitely no expert or anything like that. Just a guy that finally had enough of uncomfortable, small,easy to lose and terrible battery earbuds.I work as an Electrician. Have been since I was 15 and I'm 38 now. So I have a ton of experience dealing with every kind of headphone style or earbud style that is on the market. I have gradually spent more for better quality headphones as I get older. And I think I have finally discovered the holy grail for what I am looking for in headphones. I am by no means saying that these are the best in any way or category technically. I have no idea if they are or aren't. Just what my needs and expectations are and how they fit those. I dont need perfection in any category. Just consistency, durability, dependability, ease of every day use, idiot proof Bluetooth pairing that is always fast and smooth, a few special features that are actually something that will be used and the Grand Pubah a BIG MEAN NASTY BAD*** BATTERY.The Audio-Technical ATH-M50BT does all those things but better than even I expected. The sleek matte black color is low key but still cool.The ear pieces are the most comfortable thing I've ever seen or felt. Coming from the earbud life, these feel like you are wearing a giant comfy pillow. I barely know I'm wearing "cans" on my ears. Trust me, if you are easy to please and just looking for something that is any level of comfort above buds, this is a grand slam. I give comfort a perfect 10.The Bluetooth works perfectly every single time I flip the switch on the left side ear piece. It's easy to find and slides right over. Volume can be controlled on the headphones or your device. I paired these to my phone originally in seconds and every time after it automatically links to my phone. Boom done. Simple. Bluetooth and controls is a 10.Sound quality is superb for me. I have a Note 9 which has an equalizer option. I had to play with that a small bit at first but if you don't have that option you should be good to go out of the box.Now for the part I hoped was on another level above buds, BASS. I'm a rap fan and, Idk why, but I gots to have my bass. Just what I like. And these beauties have got bass in buckets. The first time I wore them it kinda caught me by surprise. I had no idea how much bass I was getting. To compare it to the best buds I've owned would be like comparing Android to Apple, Android eviscerates an IPhone by a gigantic margin. Sound quality is a 9 and bass is an 11.I've rambled way too long. Look, if you wanna spend just a little bit more than the normal 25-50 bucks you usually spend on some type of headphone and you are a simple person that just needs a dependable long lasting product with pretty good sound quality plus you have had it with nasty earbud falling out of your ear, getting plugged with earwax(don't act like it doesn't happen to you, you ain't gotta lie to kick it) then please I implore you to spend a few more bucks on something you will instantly love and will have for many many years. These headphones are the answer. The perfect answer to your problem. The last headphones you will buy for 10 years or more. I absolutely was not gonna spend basically $200 for this. No way. But I finally did it and I can't describe how furious I'd be if I had been cheap again. I spend a lot of money a year on headphones, but that has been solved. You should also solve your problem, buy this pair of headphones. You can thank me when you write your 5 star review on Amazon. Lol. Enjoy. Thanks for reading this insane review. Peace.

Likes:
1. Excellent sound quality: They produce excellent mids and high and adequate bass(not too much of it to interfere with the music). Very clear and accurate sound. Perfect for all types of music but if you're looking for bass heavy headphones, these are not for you
2. Build quality: These are built like a tank. Even with my rough usage there are hardly any issues with them. Really sturdy overall.
3. Comfort: These are highly comfortable and can easily be worn for long periods of time. It might take being used to if these are your first over the ear headphones.
4. Battery life: Quite impressive battery life. They charge to full in about 4 hours or less and with real world usage they have about 3-4 days of battery.
5. Bluetooth connectivity and zero lag: The range on these is pretty good, and there's no noticeable lag even when gaming casually.
Dislikes:
1. Poor microphone quality: One big issue I realised during the pandemic is how appalling the mic is. Several times people have told me that my voice is too low when I am using the mic on this headphone. So if you want a good mic this doesn't have it.
2. Charging mechanism: it doesn't have the type c port for charging which could be an incovenience if your other gadgets are type c compatible. Also there's no fast charging.
3. Absence of active noise cancellation: The headphones isolate the noise well but if you're looking for ANC then these headphones don't have it, but given the price(12.5 K INR) at which I bought them, I don't miss it.
4. Servicing centres: Although these headphones are really high quality, I am not sure if they have any service centres in India, so if they I am not sure who to reach out to
Conclusion:
These headphones are a really good upgrade over my previous m20X wired headphones and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality being so good. So if you're looking to buy a pairs of well built wireless headsets which get the basics rights in terms of sound quality, I can wholeheartedly recommend these, however you'll have to live the poor quality mic.
