Audio-Technica ATH-R70xa Open-back Reference Headphones

Reference Sound with Clarity and Comfort

When you need an authentic listening experience for your project, reach for the Audio-Technica ATH-R70xa. Audio-Technica’s flagship open-back reference headphones, the ATH-R70xa, are rigorously tested and expertly crafted. These headphones come equipped with 45mm integrated drivers with a 5Hz–40kHz frequency response that ensures transparent, detailed sound. Ideal for any critical listening task, these headphones are used by many here at City Music, from guitarists fine-tuning tracks to content creators mixing video audio. The pure open-back design doesn’t embellish the sound from the drivers for a rich natural tone with greater comfort than closed-back headphones thanks to their newly designed headband, replaceable velour earpads, and lightweight construction.

A natural listening experience

The ATH-R70xa headphones are designed to provide full-spectrum audio free from internal resonance. With a pure open-back build, the sound is never embellished by the drivers, delivering a realistic, natural experience without additional acoustic tuning. The unrestricted airflow enables lightning-fast transient response, ensuring clarity and separation for more complex contemporary mixes. This means the headphones are reliable for reference in various formats, including stereo, surround, and immersive.

Expertly crafted

The ATH-R70xa is meticulously assembled from components built in-house at Audio-Technica’s Tokyo factory. Made from carbon composite resin with a featherlight design and metal reinforcement, the ATH-R70xa is structurally rigid for improved resonance. The reimagined headband and replaceable velour earpads offer comfort whether mixing in the studio or tracking at home.
