Our Verdict

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

Audio-Technica ATH-M60x

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are aimed at different useages than the Audio-Technica ATH-M60x. The M50x have a slightly more durable build quality and a more comfortable over-ear fit. However, the M60x are a bit more compact with a modern on-ear fit that some will prefer when compared to the M50x. They're also a bit more lightweight and better sounding than most on-ear designs.
