Born in the Studio
Bringing the acclaimed features of the M-Series headphones to a price point that's accessible for all, the black Audio-Technica ATH-M20x monitor headphones offer solid build quality and audio performance for musicians and content creators recording and mixing at home. Outfitted with 40mm dynamic drivers and an over-ear, closed-back design, the ATH-M20x headphones deliver enhanced bass response and wide bandwidth (15 Hz to 20 kHz) while isolating you from outside sounds.
40mm Drivers
The ATH-M20x features 40mm dynamic drivers with rare earth (neodymium) magnets and CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coils for quality sound reproduction at a competitive price point.
Tuned for Enhanced Bass Response
The drivers and headphone design work together to provide a sonic signature tuned for enhanced bass performance. With a frequency response of 15 Hz to 20 kHz, the ATH-M20x can reproduce a full spectrum of tones.
Over-Ear, Sound-Isolating Design
The ATH-M20x utilizes a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. This over-ear, closed-back style is optimal for reducing bleed and separating you from outside sounds.
15° Swiveling Earcups
Equipped with 15° swiveling earcups, the ATH-M20x ensures a great fit.
Attached Single-Sided Cable
Keeping it simple and clean, the ATH-M20x incorporates an attached 9.8' cable that exits from the left side. This increases convenience and makes it easier to distinguish the different sides of the headphone.
3.5mm Plug and 1/4" Snap-On Adapter
The attached cable is terminated with a straight 3.5mm TRS mini plug for easy hookup to mobile devices, MP3 players, and computer headphone jacks. A 1/4" snap-on adapter is included for compatibility connectivity with audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers.
Solid Build Quality
Thanks to the high-quality materials used in the ATH-M20x, the headphones balance comfort and strength while delivering enhanced audio and effective isolation.

I'm looking for headphones that bring out the mids more than highs and lows. Which model is best for mids : 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s ?
The ATH-M30x would be the best option since they are tuned for enhanced midrange. The ATH-M20x are tuned for enhanced bass and the ATH-M40x provide a flat frequency response for accuracy while monitoring audio. The ATH-M50x are tuned for a flat response with clear, deep bass.

How do you connect ATH M20X to Macbook AIr? Or are there beter under $50 wired headphones for Mac?
The ATH-M20X have a standard 3.5mm plug (and come with an accessory 1/4" adapter, if you need it), so you can plug them directly into the audio jack of your Macbook Air. These are great monitoring headphones in this price range — there are probably other good options for a similar price, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with these.

That means when there is no increase in any frequency to accentuate either highs or lows; you have a "flat" frequency response.
