WOW!!

This is the best value for money headphones I have ever owned and used. I love the smooth top end and the bass response. I mean it's way flatter a well known brand headphones that I used to use which I got at $. I have tried 4 different audiophile headphones under $ and this is by far the best value for money headphones, only the shuresrh1840 can compare and that's like $ more that this one and that comes with less enjoyable bass response. This thing is by far the most under rated audio product I have ever owned. It's just wow! Audiotechnica has surely outdone themselves on this one, moreover on their very first try. Every music producer and engineer needs to know about these.

All-around excellence

These headphones hit the spot for me. I wanted something that would sound great for casual music enjoyment, critical listening, and be neutral enough for amateur mixing. The sound signature is pretty warm and pleasant with no harsh frequencies; I can listen for hours. The soundstage is wide open.

Despite the funky-looking design, the headphones are very comfortable. They are incredibly light! One thing that may bother some is the size of the earcups. They are not that big, probably better described as on-ear rather than over-ear.

Excellent but power hungry.

Fantastic headphones. Sound is accurate but also pleasurable to listen to. Mids and highs are buttery smooth, and the low end has the just the right amount of punch and articulation. I do wish the ear pads were a bit bigger, but they're still super comfortable to wear, and the ear pads can always be replaced down the road.

With an impedance of 470 ohms, you'll need some power to get the most out of these headphones. If you don't already have a dedicated amp you may need to buy one (something to keep in mind). If you have an audio interface I would suggest running the headphones through the interface first. My Focusrite Clarett 2Pre provides just enough power and sound excellent with their built-in amps.
Rated 5/5

Faithfull and Longevity Reference

The ATH-R70 is very detailed or faithful to the sound, light, well constructed, and allows me to conduct reference monitoring for long periods of time. I compared these headphone with other well known brands in its price range and to my taste...these are the ones. The spring loaded head arms are surprisingly comfortable.
