Audio-Technica - ATH-R70xa vs Sennheiser - HD 660S2

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (66.2 vs 64.2). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the ATH-R70xa if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, driver size.

The HD 660S2 similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.

Both ship with comparable battery life, active noise cancellation, spatial audio, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
