I own the ATH-M50X and also the Bose QC25, however -- I stick to the Audio Technica ATH-ANC23 or the TaoTronics TT‑EP01 (both noise cancelling earphones) for my daily driver for commute.
I think the biggest question for choosing a daily driver headphone is whether you want to use a headphone vs. in-ear earphone. For my daily commute, I prefer earphones because they are less bulky, they don't warm-up my ear during the summer time, and I can easily take it off and put it in my pocket. For headphones, taking them off and storing them in my bag is so bulky that it is so damn annoying.
For long trips like air plane rides or bus rides or for in the office usage, I prefer headphones.
For at-home only listening, I use Grade SR80e, this is an open headphone and it is not great for commuting but awesome for listening at home.
