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...

  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...

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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

Sorry got busy with work relations. Ok folks here we go next round of updates particularly the R70X with pairing with drum rolls....... also copied pasted to my other R70X thread as well .....      R70X on valve amp (Audiotailor jade)  VS NuForce HA200!         Setup: Macbook Pro ->...

Sorry got busy with work relations. Ok folks here we go next round of updates particularly the R70X with pairing with drum rolls....... also copied pasted to my other R70X thread as well .....      R70X on valve amp (Audiotailor jade)  VS NuForce HA200!         Setup: Macbook Pro ->...

....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)...

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...

If you budget is around $40USD+, I highly recommend the Amplifier Surgery custom cables. Have a look at their ebay stores you'll certainly able to find what you're looking for.   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201018547569?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT   I've...

Although I guess I have to say this out loud as a conclusion as well - that despite its' problems - ANY ONE of the AKGs are nonetheless noticeably more forgiving and engaging to listen to than the Beyers 990s....that to me is already a well absorbed statement and experience. Hope this helps. 

  Hi loopfreak,   Thanks for the compliment :)! Firstly though I should mention I rarely give any extended impressions on Comfort and build quality in any headphone; usually by default if it is reasonably well built and comfortable I usually made a quick statement or two in a hindsight as an...

…And here she is. Now a permanent part of the family. Been so far busy listening with my extended setup (macbook pro -> Wireworld silver OFC USB -> Audinst MX-1 AS Wolfson WM8740 DAC -> Nuforce HA200.       So far for the first few days…so very good. Even without burn in / out of the box -...

Done! All my impressions are also available on a separate thread for one off reading below.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/784799/audio-technica-r70x-vs-akg612-akg702-akg712-beyerdynamic-990-250-ohms-impressions

I am now able to create my own threads!, Hence all my impressions are now pasted to this new thread below :) for one off reading purpose.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/784799/audio-technica-r70x-vs-akg612-akg702-akg712-beyerdynamic-990-250-ohms-impressions

Audio Technica R70X VS. AKG612, AKG702, AKG712, & Beyerdynamic 990 (250 ohms) Impressions   A humble hello to head-fiers, I've just recently joined as a newbie (however have been a long time reader since the last 8 years), thought I'd let everyone know that on Monday afternoon (The 12th) here...

  Very much in agreement with your views! The R70X to me recreates that "live" sound very well - that it conveys a sense of "space" so effective that I have no doubt it would work extremely well on good live/on-show recordings.     RE: The vibrating quality - this is EXACTLY the textured...

    Hello Domie, thanks for your thoughts re: the HD600 vs 650 and how you preferred the 600s over the 650s.   Now unfortunately, WHILST I HAVE ONCE briefly :) Listened to the HD600 a while ago - I've decided not to do a write up/ comparison  about it because I did not have my proper source...

R70X VS AKG612, AKG702, AKG712 & BEYERS DT 990 Part 4/4 —————————————————————   Conclusions      AKG612  For: Detailing, transparency, bite, and VALUE for money. Perhaps best for critical listening. Certainly not as refined as everything else, but an analytical sound that is neither...
