Our Verdict
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
Audio-Technica ATH-M70x
While the Audio-Technica ATH-M70x are more comfortable than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, they might not be the better choice for most people. The M50x are more affordable, meaning they'll offer great value for most people. The two headphones are very similar and the extra investment necessary for the M70x might not be worth it.
