Audio Technica ATH-R70X Open-Back Professional Reference Headphones
Introducing the Audio-Technica ATH-R70X Open-Back Professional Reference Headphones! ATH-R70x is Audio-Technica’s first pair of open-back reference professional headphones. Together with the ATH-M70x, they stand as a flagship model in A-T’s lineup of professional studio headphones. Featuring specially designed drivers and acoustically transparent housings fashioned from aluminum honeycomb mesh, these headphones provide an accurate and natural open-back sound. They also incorporate a new, improved design of our popular 3D wing support system to provide even greater comfort during the prolonged use often required in professional settings. Robust yet lightweight, and equipped with a unique, dual-sided detachable cable that automatically maintains proper stereo orientation (no matter how it’s attached), the R70x headphones are built for lasting comfort, convenience and audio purity.
Audio-Technica ATH-R70X Open-Back Headphphone has a very smooth, polite, and balanced sound signature. Tonality sounds natural and very pleasing without any annoying peaks or dips on the frequency spectrum. Light weight and comfortable for long sessions. Headband pressure is light, but it fits very well, and not easily moved from position even with lots of head movement.

Solid, Powerful
Suitable for headphones ranging from 16 to 150 Ohms, the A3 is potent enough to drive all but the most power hungry headphones. Use the low gain setting with high sensitivity IEMs, or switch it to high gain for full size headphones.
Sophisticated Bass Boost
A fully discrete bass boost circuit increases output by 3.5dB at 60Hz, producing a gentle swell of low end energy that preserves the overall sound field. The bass boost circuit is completely bypass when off to ensure low noise floor and purity of sound quality.

Mine had flaws, but I fixed it
I purchased this item to complete my headphone collection that includes different styles. So far, I've got open-back headphones using all three major driver technologies (dynamic, planar magnetic, and electrostatic). And closed-back headphones of the same types. Plus in-ear plugs of the same types. When I choose headphones, I tend to get those are generally well regarded but not the most popular choices. For example, the open-back planar magnetic headphone I chose was the Audeze LCD-MX4. I think the Audio-Technica ATH-R70X fits well. It's also my first high-impedance headphones. I don't think I'm very sensitive to sound differences from headphones. This can compete with other headphones I have, although it may lack some clarity. However, there was a problem with the unit I received. I bought a cable with a 4-pin XLR plug and found the sound was unbalanced. I returned the cable and bought another one. It worked initially but the same issue occurred again. I took the headphone apart and found there might be a short between the two cables connecting the socket and the driver. I fixed it by making sure the ends of the cables don't touch. I think it works well now. I think there wouldn't have been such an issue if they just used a single piece of PCB instead of wires connecting two PCBs. The good thing is that the unit is designed to be taken apart easily. Eight screws and not a single clip, and you get the driver and 25mm socket.
Great reference headphones
I have never used reference headphones and now that I started creating music with them I can appreciate all aspects in a true to life manner. The base is not exaggerated and the mids and highs are crisp and clear. You can actually pinpoint areas needing adjustments; all with ease. Recommended!!!
Great item from a great store
