    Fantastic review mate! How does it sound with the R70X?

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

        Hi Piaudio, thank you for your opinion. I always welcome insights from the polarity opposites, as it clearly shows that our past listening habits & past / sonic memory experiences do play a role in amply shaping the history of our own ears and thus our own "expectations" for what is...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

      I've been starting to downsize my equipment (including trying to sell my CD source) as I've been using my humble macbook pro or PC as a  more practical solution. The PC perhaps is arguably speaking; better sounding due to the fact I'm using a 2010 moonaudio power cord then onto a Opera...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

    For those of you who are still wondering or suspect whether the R70X is too laidback or soft. Here's perhaps another better way of describing the R70X - it is neither of those two tonalities. The best term instead for me to use is this - the R70X is incredibly insightful. In fact, each and every...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

        I am indeed oz circa 1997. Oy, Oy, Oy!   If only the housing is not so overpriced (as is our dollar but oh well that's fiat currencies in general altogether)   But I'm indo by ethnicity (and in no way my life is anything remotely as what people would commonly stereotype).   Here's an...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

        I noticed absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between when I heard back on StoreDJ's demo copy during my initital impressions and to the Xth / hundredth hours I've bought my own  to this day.    Love them once - love them forever. This headphone pretty much makes you forget everything else and...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

        Spot on mate. Spot on. The R70X coordinates the presentation of every spectrum in surprising ways that is making me thinking it should be all about the music as is.  Not about how analytically detailed it should be. Neither upfront or too laidback.    After ten years on and off this...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

        Hi Draulius, thanks for the comment.   Again qualities are always; at the end of the day - quite subjective, especially how guilty most of us in trying to use expressive words "soundstage, depth and imaging" far too often to label and categorise sonic qualities, me included!   To me...

    ....And believe it or not - yes some of you are anxious to hear this - gaming with the R70X.   Is the R70X good enough for gaming? To my ears - ever so involvingly so.   While I'm not a hardcore gamer per se (the only space for games I have is the thoughtful ones...think MGS, Witchers, etc)...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

    For anyone wondering whether R70X scales favorably with different amps & DACs - so far I have listened to it quite extensively across the Audinst MX1 (with its own Wolfson 8740 as DAC unfortunately cannot use MX1 as a stand alone amp) as well as the beastly NuForce HA200. The other DAC I do have...

    A humble thank you Greeni!   I've been in this hobby on and off for ten years so yes I know what you mean - I hate reading those  going-off-the-rails / philosophical talk kind of reviews; especially 6moons, and some positive feedbacks' too how I'm surely mistaken I'm reading a lengthy...
