AudioTechnica m50x vs Sennheiser 599. Which one to buy?

I have been using the ATm30x for the last 3 years, however the cords have become frayed and jitters have creeped in. Thinking of upgrading but don't know which is better.

I will never use a wireless headphone(Quality deteriorates on lossless streaming). And never ever earphones (hurts my ears). So I have zoned in on these two options.

I use the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm as it has a built in somewhat pretty decent DAC to use with my iPad and phone.

Sample songs I would listen to with clarity on a headphone:

The audiotechnica M50Xs will only sound good if youve never used good headphones before. Theyre overpriced. Not bad, just overpriced.

Source: I own a pair.

I would go onto the 'headphones' groomercord server and ask for advice there. The people there are audiophile NERDS who will give u a great recommendation I imagine.

I tried getting advice from an audiophile friend. He has a large vinyl collection, also owns quite a few pair of headphones and speakers. But he talked so much about frequency and bitrates and what not that most of it went above my head.
