ATH-R70 X : Loved it straight out of the box

Simply put, a must-own for any audiophile. Its sound signature was very intimate and neutral. Many have compared this to Sennheiser's HD6XX. But honestly, I never liked that model for the whole year I spent with it. It had weird clamping pressure points and was always uncomfortable when I'm wearing my glasses. Having to bear with the discomfort makes the flat sound signature seem even duller. This is where the R70x really shined.

While having a relatively high impedance, the R70x was surprisingly easy to drive and had a really pleasant and neutral sound right out of the box. It is literally weightless and doesn't even seem to push down my hair at all. Great music sessions can now last all day long thanks to its wonderful sound signature and creature comfort.

So my conclusion is, if you loved the sound of HD6XX, you are gonna fall in love with R70x with no problem at all. If you didn't enjoy the legendary 6XX just like I did, get the R70x and it should satisfy all your needs.
