Buying call

Buy the ATH-M50xBT2 if you want the famously flat M50x sound without a cable: the 45mm drivers are accurate and punchy, LDAC and AAC cover hi-res and everyday listening, multipoint pairs two devices, and battery runs past 50 hours. Skip them if you want noise canceling or all-day comfort, because there's no ANC and the clamp gets tight after a few hours.
