Incredibly lightweight and well-balanced, open-back over-ear headphones that are ideal for on-the-go recording, critical listening, mixing and basic mastering. They belong to the upper price segment and are one of the most advanced models in the company's line of studio headphones. It should be noted right away that these are the first open-air headphones in the assortment of the Japanese brand.
Audio-Technica ATH-R70x have a unique design feature, and the headband is divided into 2 parts: a metal frame hangs on top, and a pair of retractable “wings” with soft foam cushions are attached under it. According to the manufacturer, these wings provide a softer pressure to the head, and the frame instantly adapts to the shape of the user’s head, regardless of its size. The fabric ear pads are filled with memory foam, the headphones weigh just 210 grams, and the open design is less tiring on the ears than closed-back headphones tend to be.
Given all this, it is no surprise that the Japanese brand calls this model its magnum opus, which will be loved by engineers and sound designers around the world. Specially designed 45 mm dynamic drivers are distinguished by an expanded frequency spectrum (5 – 40,000 Hz) and a smooth frequency response, without distortions towards booming bass or airy high frequencies. The headphones fully correspond to their professional status, provide honest monitor sound and will be equally useful in mixing, mastering, sound recording and other audio processing work.
At the same time, they skillfully combine technicality with a pleasant musical presentation, thanks to which they should be of interest to audiophiles who are looking for a model with a natural and natural sound without the additional timbre coloring inherent in Hi-Fi headphones. Both in the studio and at home, headphones will need a powerful signal source with a high-quality amplifier, since the model’s impedance reaches an impressive 470 Ohms. The headphones are supplied with a detachable double-sided cable, a carrying case and a 3.5-6.3 mm adapter.

Top product for professionals and music lovers
The ATH-R70x is the first flagship open-back model in the Audio-Technica line. It will serve equally well for monitoring, mixing and mastering, DJing, post-production or listening to music at home. As with any flagship model with a price tag of $400, there are as many signature features here as medals on Brezhnev's chest: top-end emitters with highly efficient magnets, a perforated aluminum mesh behind the cups to give the sound additional volume, the ability to reproduce a frequency range from 5 to 40,000 Hz, and so on down the list.
Hear something new in familiar songs
Now how does it all play? Since the model is designed to work with sound, they have a fairly neutral frequency response without obvious embellishments. Some music lovers like it, while others find it annoying. But the trick is that even with a similar frequency response, a pair of different headphones can sound completely different - some will breathe life and dynamics, while others will tire you out after an hour of listening. So, the ATH-R70x clearly belong to the first category, immediately catching your attention with its airiness, meticulous detailing of the slightest overtones, gorgeous soundstage, verified balance and excellent bass.
High resistance
Moreover, they sound equally good with almost any musical genre, be it pop, rock or jazz, and long-familiar songs blossom with new details. True, the headphones have a very high resistance (470 Ohm) and to pump up all this beauty they need a serious sound source. Ideally, a full-fledged amplifier with a low level of harmonic distortion and a good sound card with a high-quality preamplifier.
Reliability and convenience
Well, a few words about the design. Everything was done with professional use in mind, carrying from studio to studio, etc., so the headphones are not flashy, but extremely durable and comfortable. We are talking about composite materials for increased rigidity, a reinforced frame and a replaceable cable with a carrying case. At the same time, the ATH-R70x are incredibly comfortable, your head does not get tired from them even if you sit in them all day. Thanks to the self-adjusting 3D Wing headband and large "breathing" velour ear pads.
