This type of sound signature typically reproduces a sound that gives your music a distinctly warm and soothing quality. Vocals and instruments like the saxophone, cello, and piano sound particularly good with this sound signature and is pleasant to listen to music for extended periods. This sound signature is well suited for music listeners who prefer something easy on the ears and listen to genres like Jazz, Blues, R&B and rock sub-genres.

As the name implies, anything branded as studio headphones is designed especially for a studio setting with a particular focus on accuracy and transparency for monitoring and mixing.
These headphones present an accurate image of your music than ordinary headphones, allowing you to hear every nuance and aspect of your music. Therefore, having a good set of studio headphones is just as important as any other gear in your studio.

Replaceable Cables
A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.
Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
This was such a surprising find for me! The R70x wasn't very well known in audiophile circles, but these have to be one of my favourite headphones in this segment. They look flimsy and light, but the build quality is surprisingly robust. The sound is super open, clean, and very well balanced. Ideal for any beginner and professional alike

FAQs
What is the warranty period on Audio-Technica ATH-R70x and how do I claim warranty?
The warranty period is 3 Years from the date of invoice for all M-Series and E-Series (Pro Products). In order to claim warranty, please visit our Audio-Technica warranty page. We are very helpful guys, just saying.
The sound signature of the Audio-Technica ATH-R70x is?
Very flat. Essentially made for professional studio monitoring, you can expect a neutral sound from the Audio-Technica ATH-R70x. Bassheads, leave now before you set yourself up for disappointment.
Does detachable cable mean I can use it without the wire as well?
No, they can't. Detachable cables mean they can be replaced when they go south!
What devices is the Audio-Technica ATH-R70x compatible with?
These headphones are mostly used by studio professionals, you can use the 3.5mm jack with your laptop or smartphone.
Is the Audio-Technica - ATH-R70x ideal for everyday casual use?
Ideally no. Because these require a dedicated amp for the best quality and because they're quite flat sounding, we wouldn't recommend these to casual music listeners.
Does the Audio-Technica - ATH-R70x come with a carry pouch?
Yes, the Audio-Technica - ATH-R70x does come with a carry pouch in the box.
What do 'Impedance' and 'Ohms' mean?
Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18Ω, 32Ω, and 80Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600Ω like.
