Mac is wearing this set of headphones throughout most of the video, starting at 0:52. One of the best angles that gives a clear visualization of the headphones, confirming that they are specifically the limited edition ATH-M50xMG, is at 2:30. The key factor is the lack of prominent silver ring around the Audio-Technica logo that is found on the regular ATH-M50x.
