Audio-Technica ATH-E70 Reviews

Good in-ears

So these are probably mid-range in price without being fitted with up-market moulded. I've used these as monitors on vocals in a theatre gig, I've got strange shaped ears(!) so keeping non-moulded in is usually a problem, found a way to make these work and they're very good, nice sound across the range. Highly recommened for the price.

Never been as dissapointed in a pair of IEMs as with these.

I've been playing live for over 10 years and also work as a FOH engineer. I ordered these based on the many many great reviews, thinking they couldn't miss on a price tag so high.

These are honestly one of the worst pairs of IEMs I've tried. Contrary to the reviews:

- They have little to no bass (tried with all rubber & foam fits). Was taken aback by this as all reviews said the bass is heavy.

- They have a horrible splashy high frequency boost (5-6K) that needs heavy EQing, and no 'air' or presence.

- They are flat as can be, even flatter than my HD650's mixing headphones. They sound like the heapdhones you get to use on an airplane.

I can't believe it, I am not saying this lightly: I am EXTREMELY dissapointed.

For this price tag I expected stellar sound. I honestly can't believe it and almost feel like I've gotten a different or malfunctional product from what's been advertised. They sound worse than my 100EUR Shures that have a nice rounded bass. Hell, they sound worse than my Anker bluetooth in-ears or the 70eur cheap chinese pair of IEMs that own.

I just can't explain this.

The only thing that these have going for them is really really good isolation and comfort. Build quality is also good.

Will return these ASAP.

Quality Monitoring Affordable Price

This in-ear monitor is an allrounder which can be used by every musician. Has a good bass response, good middle and high end.

The response is pretty linear until 8-9kHz. At 8-9kHz there is a little jump in response.

This means you get a boost around that frequency range which can be compensated of course if you do not like it.

I think however when pairing it with (some of them) wireless receiver that characteristic makes it sound great.

The cable is detachable, replaceable, has a good length. The ear piece is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Comes with a jack converter and professional foam for maximum sound isolation. If you are looking for a great allrounder you cannot go wrong with this one.

5 stars all the way

TL;DR

1. Nice controlled punchy bass - perfect for on stage

2. Very nice wires - they make it easy to position the wiring in the right place, behind the ear, little bit less stiff than the standard from SHURE

3. Massive SPL

4. Super isolation

5. Highly recommended.

The only downside is that they are not very bright, but this wouldn't be something that I would be concerned about on stage! 5 stars

These in-ear monitors have made all the difference to my band :P

It was hard to hear myself in a loud 5 piece rock band, but after the introduction of these in-ear monitors, it has meant that I at least can hear myself and practise/perform better. It works a treat - highly recommended product!

Great for the price

Amazing for the price, the bass sounds really good in these when using as monitors on stage. I had to buy different ear tips, foam ones, as the ones that are included didn’t hold well in my ears. Since then I had no problems, can jump, talk, sing - headphones stay in with perfect seal. Good little protection box included, but unusable if you want to take it in your jeans pocket (I.e. music listening when travelling) - it’s too bulky - but these are mainly for monitoring, easily stored in my bass gigbag.

Great for stage monitoring!

Been using these for over a year now and they work so well. Very sturdy cables, reliable sound, comfortable - all you need for stage monitoring at a fair price!

Very good price/quality ratio

As a stage in ear monitor, I have tried cheaper solutions from popular brands, but I had to hear the sound from the various instruments and voices much more distinct, clear and precise. This in ear does the job well!

Amazing

Bought these to use with the XVive U4 wireless system, and they exceeded my expectations. Great overall and balanced sound with great comfort.

great set

sounds amazing, looks great, everything about them is excellent, apart from the fact that they take time to put on and of. So while DJ'ing if anyone wants to talk to you that will be really annoying.

The fit takes some getting used to

Not the most comfortable but the best sounding in ears ive ever used. amazing range and totally unafected by outside noise.

Serious upgrade from SE215

I used to use a set of SE215s for my in ear monitoring but it always felt very muddy/poorly defined. I thought this was down to getting a mono feed, but a friend encouraged me to upgrade.

It's a night and day difference with the ATH-e70. They are more expensive, but a good bit cheaper than the triple driver shures, and honestly they're at least as good. It's made a world of difference with my in ear monitoring!

Worth every penny

I was looking for a good quality IEMs, mainly for HiFi and some monitoring on-the-go.

I tried quite a few different IEMs, including these praised Chinese "5 BAs/3 BA+Dynamic" miracles. Spoiler alert: don't fall for it, Chinese may put 10 BA drivers into one earphone, but there's no proper engineering/tuning, so it really doesn't matter how many drivers they may put, if they don't tune them.

I stopped my search once I heard ATH-E70. This pair is just the best 300 EUR can get.

It's 3 BA drivers, very well engineered, very balanced sound - although it does depend a lot on silicone/foam buds you'd be using.

None of the included silicone buds ( foam buds cut highs, I dropped them immediately ) fit my ears, I have generic replacement buds lying around that fit very well, so that ( the only ) problem is solved.

ATH-E70 are highly recommended for any application IEMs may be used for.

Good but not suitable for loud instruments.

Good in-ear headphones but not suitable for loud instruments monitoring like bass: they fall into distortion easily and they are not very "neutral" with a mid-oriented tone. Comfortable and with very good isolation.

I'm using these headphones to listen to music and also as monitors while drumming.

These headphones made me realize that I've been missing a lot of information from the tracks I've been listening to for decades. The sound quality is so good, so clear, so how it should be. It also made me want to throw out all the other headphones and loudspeakers that I have.

The only thing that I find not good enough are the eartips. The headphones come with a bunch of different sizes and types, but none are good for me. I have big ear canals and if I move and / or make facial expressions the headphones pop out of my ears. I bought SpinFit eartips and it's a little better, although I still have to push the headphones in from time to time.

I really recommend these headphones.

the quality is excellent giving you a great all round sound for me i am very pleased with these and highly recommend them

look no further for IEM purposes

use it with my AT M3, precise, transparent, balanced, sensitive - may go crazy loud - be aware

for a price paid - very satisfied therefore highly recommended !
