Audio Technica ATH-R70xa Headphones
The ATH-R70xa is Audio-Technica's flagship pair of professional open-back reference headphones. This enhanced version of the ATH-R70x delivers the natural and balanced sound of its predecessor but with refined accuracy and detail, providing a heightened listening experience with precise imaging and depth.
Pure Open-Back Design: Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the driver, with each diaphragm movement directly translating into sound. The ATH-R70xa open-back design allows unrestricted airflow that prevents any distortion or artificial enhancement to the sound. The headphones deliver pure sound directly from the transducer for an authentic open-back experience.
Featherlight Design: Weighing just 199 grams (without the cable), these fully open-back headphones virtually disappear from your head, allowing you to remain comfortable and fully engaged in your work, even during the longest studio sessions.
Open-Back vs Closed-Back: Open-Back headphones are ideal for mixing, mastering, and creating in a studio or other private space. Open-back headphones provide a natural, spacious sound akin to that produced by a monitor speaker system. Closed-back headphones, on the other hand, isolate the listener from outside noise, making them great for musicians recording in a studio or anyone listening in public or noisy environments. Each unit is meticulously assembled from components built in-house, then rigorously tested before leaving the factory.
