I'll get to the point -- these are easily the best headphones I have ever used. I guess you could call me an audio appreciator, if not a -phile. I don't know the response curves and I won't be able to explain anything other than in subjective terms.But subjectively? Holy cow.Beautiful natural sound separation, flat response that makes things sound *right* and true, comfortable, robust, well built and very flexible. Using windows sonic through my computer on an old Creative Audio DAC and a Magni 1 amp (which is PLENTY to drive it, btw -- its not a perfect setup, but it's enough), I get beautiful true to life sound whether it's on my sony mp3 player, from my ps5 split off from an HDMI passthrough, or playing games on my PC. This does it all without breaking a sweat. It's good enough that I sometimes forget that the sound is even coming through headphones, and they're comfy enough I forget that they're there.Other reviewers have complained about build quality. I've used and abused these and they're absolutely fine and show no signs of deterioration. The cable locking system is robust and prevents damage to the plugs, even when yanked. What some mistake for inferior construction I see as efficient material usage. Original cable it shipped with is still going strong, too.If you play games or do content creation? It has you covered there, too. Brilliant separation that makes you feel present, a far cry from the unnatural virtual 5.1 implementations of yesteryear built into headphones, but this will all depend on being able to drive it properly. They're only as good as its source.I use a modmic wireless stuck on to the logo on the side of the headphones for playing games and that works perfectly, if you want it to perform double duty.All in all though, top notch. I'd say I'd buy them again, but I don't think I'll ever have to buy another pair of headphones.

I'd really decided on the HiFiMan Sundara, but these were on my radar too and they had a great Amazon warehouse deal so I thought I'd try them. Well, I like them. A lot. They do have one nagging imperfection but they're great.I wanted a pair for my turntable/headphone setup specifically. I have the Sennheiser 6xx which have a pretty laid back/rolled off treble. I actually like that with digital as it can help smooth out any digital harshness. Plus I can easily EQ a bit more treble if needed. For vinyl, with no EQ, the 6xx does not provide quite enough sparkle. The ATH-R70x provide the sparkle. They sound great with my vinyl setup powered by a Topping L30 and paired with a Fluance Rt-85 deck with a Sumiko Moonstone (great cartridge btw) , and digital paired with a Raspberry Pi Roon endoint into a Schiit stack (modi 3, Magni 3+) But they're very balanced from bass to treble. They do not over exaggerate the bass, thankfully. However, they can bring serious low end when necessary. They handled Massive Attack's Mezzanine album's massive bass with aplomb, I felt it in my chest.There is a 3D dimensionality to the music with these that is enthralling. The music seems to swirl around, go up and down, etc. Vocals are centered nicely basically right on or just in front of your forehead (seemingly). It's not like a large, expansive soundstage, but I like it. A lot. On some tracks the midrange can be a tad recessed, including vocals. That's the one chink in the armor. I like the 6xx better for midrange and vocals. But these ATH-R70x are superior than the 6xx in soundstage and treble sparkle and airiness.I threw a variety of genres at these in both vinyl and digital formats and I didn't find anything it couldn't handle capably. Plenty of great little subtle details, digging deep into the recording. Nice separation of various instruments/multitracks including subtle little backing vocals and such, that I'd never noticed before on familiar recordings. Great rhythmic drive. Again the only real caveat are those slightly recessed vocals, but it's only with some recordings, not all.These headphones are very lightweight and very comfortable. I like the low key industrial-ish look. They look very serious and capable but also have some style.One thing to note is that my warehouse deal seems to have come with different earpads than pictured. They're blue colored soft leather and are perhaps a bit larger than what the stock ones look like in pictures. No idea how that would change the sound.I may still grab the Sundara at some point but these are definitely not going back. I like 'em a LOT.

Lightweight, low clamping force, and a beautifully transparent and detailed sound that makes every other headphone I own sound colored and muddy.

Perfeitamente neutro, levemente acentuado nos graves (90~250Hz). Clareza, boa separação de instrumentos e noção de espacialidade. Perfeito para trabalho de masterização e mixagem em estudio e também para aproveitar músicas por lazer.

I've got tinnitus (always hear ringing sound), so any closed headphones are a big no no. I've tried a number of very expensive ones, and even after getting a new $600 one.. I'm immediately drawn back to these. They're so clear and light, they basically massage your head while you put them on and you completely forget they're there.The sound is fantastic too, everything sounds just right. Anyone who complains about lack of bass is probably used to other bass boosting headphones. But if you wear any high quality apple products these sound just the same.

Simplemente wow. Es el audífono que siempre estuve buscando, tras haber probado varios modelos de otras marcas (Hifiman Ananda, Hifiman Sundara, Hifiman 400SE, Sennheiser HD700, Sennheiser HD800, Sennheiser HD660S, HD600, Beyerdynamic DT990, DT880 Y DT1990, AKG 701 Y AKG612PRO) a primera escucha supe que me encantaría de él, permítanme ser más específico en cuánto a razones por las cuales lo amo.En construcción tenemos un audífono sólido de sensación muy premium a la mano, son algo pequeños y ligeros, pero muy bien hechos. Su cable es aceptable y sus pads son buenos, apenas entra mi oído en la copa así que si tienes oídos grandes evita este audífono.En cuanto a imagen y escenario sonoro, tenemos unas bellezas, simplemente vas a redescubrir tu música favorita, notarás nuevos instrumentos en nuevas locaciones, su escenario depende de la canción de escuches, cosa que me encanta, su imagen es simplemente quirúrgica, da miedo lo exactos que son.En cuanto a frecuencias graves tenemos bastante lineal, con una buena presencia, sin ningún tipo de realce en ningún momento.En frecuencias graves seguimos con el punto perfecto donde el audífono logra tener buena pegada sin ser tan invasivo, no es basshead pero si tiene excelente su presencia, un grave informativo y disfrutable al mismo tiempo.En frecuencias medias es una delicia, todos los instrumentos se oyen muy resolutivos y las voces ni se diga, no están ni adelantados ni atrasados, en su punto perfecto.En frecuencias agudas tenemos un agudo muy relajado, nada sibilante y no te va a dar esa sensación de ser "cristalino", sólo es un agudo que está ahí con cuerpo sin la parte del dolor por agudos tan altos.En general es un excelente audífono, a todos los audífonos que he tenido les encuentro fallas, pero a éstos simplemente no hay con que darle.Responde muy bien a la ecualizacion que le pongas, el driver resuelve muy bien y no va a saturar los graves o hacer agudos sibilantes.10 de 10 audiothecnica se pasó con este equipazo.

Muy buen packaging, se escucha muy bien sin perder la noción del entorno. Son muy cómodos y anatómicos.

These are amazing for mixing/producing but not that comfortable to wear. For shorter sessions they are perfect, especially to deal with lower frequencies.
