CFDS70 was released in 4/10/2016 whereas CFDS50 is released on 3/13/2014."The only benefits or new features of the S70 over the S50 are that the S70 has a sleep timer and a battery power display (which allows you to visually check your battery power).I own both models and when I placed them side by side, my old S50 got better radio reception than the new S70.

I unplugged from the power line and used just the C batteries and the hum was completely gone
