Audio-Technica ATH-M70X Reviews

Haltbar und hochwertig

Habe die Kopfhörer jetzt schon einige Jahre. Klingen immer noch top und haben keine auffälligen Tragespuren. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen.

very good outside noise isolation!

i don't like how sounds low freq's

A little bright in sound response.

A great choice for closed-back headphones

These are really great headphones with a powerful sound. I also like how they fold flat and come with a firm zip-up case, as I bring them with me often when travelling. They isolate me from disturbances when travelling on trains. I also like that they come with three different detachable cable options (long cable, short cable, coiled cable). They're still comfortable after several hours of wearing them and they look stylish and inconspicuous. They seem well made - I've had no problems so far and they do tend to get thrown around a bit. I only remove one star for sound quality as they don't sound quite as 'airy' as my open-backed AKG headphones - but I guess this is to be expected with closed-back headphones.

Poorly designed hinges/bridge

I bought these headphones as my first professional reference. I have since then acquired reasonable studio monitors. They are good for checking mids, highs and sibilance and can uncover problems in these areas. However I wouldn't say you could rely on them to make a decent mix, rather use them for checking specific things.

The headphones are very comfortable, way more than M50x, no problem wearing them for longer periods of time, at least physically. These headphones are however very tiring due to their pronounced mids and highs, so working on them for longer periods of time is counterproductive.

The build quality doesn't feel cheap at first, however the bridge is very fragile, each of the phones hangs on about 1mm of plastic (although it looks like it is reinforced by aluminum brackets), so any drop is very likely to break off one of the cans, just like it happened to me and many others - just google "M70x broken". Quote in an authorized repair shop was about 150 euro, so there's that.

Very Good

I had the ATH-M30 before so I thought going up to the 70's would be a huge improvement. On quality and looks and sturdiness they are much better and sleeker looking, not as fragile and no annoying creeks that my old ones had so it is a big improvement but sound quality I don't know is there a huge step up for the price of them. I think they are a little too expensive for what you get. I also find them very sore and uncomfortable after a long period of time. So overall they are brilliant but I presume there is better out there.

YOOOOO THIS IS LIT

Perfect clarity, amazing sounds.

Trash, broke on both sides. Dont buy it!

Served me well but the plastic of the left ear snapped far too easily.

Amazing Headphones! Use them for mixing. It was exactly what I expected.

Sound into the Detail.

Hearing the sound in very detailed form.

Closed headphones usually are a little bit painful to hold on the head more than two hours. This one is an exception.

The model 70 does not sound so bassy and alive, like the other two models, but it is sound-flat, what for a sound ingeneering an objective angle ist - so you will be able to adjust your song mixing, so it will sound nice on every speakers and headphones.

Since more than one year I use the headphones for recording of the songs with microphone. And first of all I make main mixing with Adam F7. When I need to check the sound on different sorce, I use ATH-M70 X for checking of mostly mid and high frequences.

Pretty Sweet..!

Overall, the headphones are really quite bright, and maybe a little bass light. This can lead to vocals sticking out more than you're used to, but once you adjust they are sweet. The stereo field is impressive, regardless of price. Incredible detail. Maybe small low mid scoop.

Super comfy, built pretty darn well, case is nice.

Excellent, but pricey

I bought these because I needed a new closed set of headphones for tracking and as another reference when mixing in my home studio. They sound incredible, do a very good clean job along the entire spectrum, and are relatively comfortable for long periods of time.

If being bought only for casual listening I'm not sure I would be comfortable recommending them above the M50x because they really are quite expensive, but for my purposes I'd say they represent good value for money.

Heargasm.

Just a really really great headphone.

ATH-M70 X

The quality of the ATH-M70 X is very high both for the materials used and the sound quality. It comes with a handy case.

They are very precise and accurate headphones and therefore you will be able to detect what's wrong in your production. Therefore they're meant for professional use.

The downside is that they're quite expensive.

Delivers What I Expected

When buying the first pair of headphones for music production, it doesn't really matter which headphones you buy. All of them sound good just slightly different. This was my first purchase so I had nothing to compare to and I could not find the product in the stores nearby me for testing.

I made the purchase purely based on reviews and specs. I just say that I feel I got what I wanted. The quality of my mixes got better. Before I had to mix with a collection of hi-fi speakers.

No-one can talk to me when I have the ATs on. So they isolate normal life almost completely.

Sound is nice and open thanks to the wide frequency range.

Can't work with the phones on forever. I have to take them off when ever I'm not listening. This so probably more like an operator error than a matter of comfortability.

The body is made of aluminium and plastic so it has a toy-like feeling to it. The ATs are light yes but with the expense of build.

In the end, if someone would as if I'd recommend them, I'd say "sure, why not"

Improved on the ATH50

I bought these as a slight upgrade for my ATH-50. As I had them for a few years and them themselves had been replaced by the ATH-50X. I decided the take the plunge and buy the latest offering from Audio Technica. They're one of the most expensive monitoring headphones on the market at the moment and after reading reviews in soundonsound and future music I was blown away by the amount of positive feedback and reviews they had received. On first inspection they're lighter than my 50s and I imagine this will be very handy for longer mixing sessions. I understand the frequency range is also slightly greater however this is only really for dolphins and cats. Overall I'm impressed on first listen and they're a noticeable improvement on the 50 however I cannot say so for the 50X as I have never owned.
