Audio-Technica ATH-M70x Pro Monitor Headphones

This is a great pair of headphones and a no brainer for pros and serious enthusiasts, but the price may be too much for casual music lovers.

  Much pricier than the ATH-M50x

Sound Guys is our sister site, dedicated to all things audio. Once in a while, we’ll be sharing the coolest products they review here. In the early days of Sound Guys (okay, it was like a year ago) we reviewed the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and, like everyone else, thought that they were a fantastic...

Closed-Back Studio Headphones

There’s no question that there are plenty of quality headphones that cost less than the ATM-M70x ($299), including the company’s own M50x. That said, there’s also no question that Audio-Technica went the extra mile in designing the M70x to make it a true reference-monitoring headphone.

What could possibly be better than MusicTech’s headphones of 2014? Maybe their new big brother? Andy Jones gets AT it

I've been using audio-technica products for the past 8 years since I was 16. The M70s are the latest edition to the family since owning M50s. I must say they are way more accurate in every way and perfect mixing audio which I've been doing professionally for the past 3 years.

The sound quality of these headphones is stellar; I'll say that right up front. I don't know about "Coolness Factor", as no one's ever going to look at them except me.The one thing I find off-putting, though, is the cord. These headphones come with 3 cords, and that's just fine.

  - Great sound- Easy to wear- 3 cords to choose from

• -

  - Inability to transport headphones with a cord attached- Proprietary cord attachment system- High price

So this is my review of the Audio Technica ATH-M70x I have had these for a week now so I have started to get a feel for them after using them for about 8hours each day.

I've had these for a little over a year. Sound is moderately flat and accurate. Highs can be fatiguing but it depends on how hard you drive them.These are definitely good for music enjoyment and pretty great for mixing/video post production. To the point of me relying on them heavily.

I cannot describe these headphones other than revealing. They are not bass or midrange heavy. So, why buy these headphones if ($) Panasonic RP-HTF600-S headphones have more bass and mids? DETAILS.

For the past few years, I've been using a pair of cans that my friend handed down to me. The JVC HA-RX700 headphones. I use reference tracks a lot when mixing and mastering, so I'd gotten quite used to the sound even though the frequency response wasn't as close to natural and flat like I'd been...
