Audio Technica ATH-R70xa - Return (Condition: Very Good)

The ATH-R70xa is Audio-Technica's flagship open-back reference headphone for professional use. The improved successor to the ATH-R70x also delivers a natural, balanced presentation that is even more finely resolved and detailed than its predecessor — for a superior listening experience with highly precise imaging and outstanding depth.

In fully open-back headphones the sound depends exclusively on driver performance, and every diaphragm excursion is converted directly into sound without relying on acoustic cavities or resonances to tune the frequency response. While the predecessor ATH-R70x required damping measures and acoustic adjustments to achieve powerful bass, the sound of the ATH-R70xa comes uncoloured straight from the transducer — providing an authentic listening experience with minimal distortion and a precise, natural sound with particularly realistic imaging.

The ATH-R70xa was developed for demanding monitoring tasks and enables engineers to make the right decisions at every stage of the production process. With its extended frequency response this headphone renders every detail of a mix transparently. Unrestricted airflow without internal resonances delivers an extremely fast transient response and thus excellent clarity and channel separation, as required for today’s complex mixes.

Moreover, the feather-light (199 g without cable), fully open headphone features an especially slim profile and a new headband design — so comfortable that you will barely notice it even during very long sessions.

Each individual ATH-R70xa is carefully hand-assembled at our factory in Machida, Tokyo, using in-house developed components and is rigorously tested before shipment.

This makes the ATH-R70xa the perfect monitoring solution for production, mixing and mastering and a highly precise, reliable reference for stereo, surround and other immersive formats.

100% Open-Back Reference Headphones

In fully open-back headphones the sound depends exclusively on driver performance, and every diaphragm excursion is converted directly into sound.

The open-back design of the ATH-R70xa allows unrestricted airflow that effectively prevents distortions or emphasized frequency bands. The sound therefore comes uncoloured directly from the transducer — for a particularly authentic listening experience.
