Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Sennheiser HD 25 is 4 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. The platform is level; the newer hardware shows up in convenience features instead - the Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless adds USB-C. For 4 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

Sennheiser HD 25
The Sennheiser HD 25 is a lightweight, wired on-ear headphone built for professional tasks like DJing, broadcasting, and field recording.

Comfort can be an issue during long sessions, and the cable connection at the earcup is a known weak point.
