Hi all,

We’re buzzing with excitement about the upcoming drop of the Apos x Audio-Technica ATH-R70x Refine Open-Back Headphones, hitting our shelves next week for just $299! These limited edition headphones will launch on August 13th at 6am PT and will be restricted to US and Canada only. Here’s why you should be just as psyched as we are:

  • New look: All-new black and gold color configuration.
  • Newly-designed ear pads: Developed internally by Audio-Technica engineers, these thicker velour pads enhance comfort and refine the original ATH-R70x sound signature.
  • Sound refinements: The Refine now features a slightly warmer, deeper, and fuller sound.
  • Shorter cable: We shortened the cable down to a more-manageable 6 feet (1.8m).
  • Better value: We collaborated with Audio-Technica to reach a price that’s easier on the wallet.
  • Future-minded: The R70x Refine is the first step in an ecosystem of related products, including microphones and more. Stay tuned for what’s next.

We've gotten this question at other places as well. We'll look into this suggestion after the pre-order of the headphone. Thanks!

Sensitivity: 98 dB/mW / Impedance: 470Ω ... do you anticipate these will be hard to drive?

Also, what is weight? Thanks!

They definitely show their true self with an amp. A lot of community members have thoughts on the best pairing with the R70x - the headphone that the Refine is based upon. You should be able to get a lot of feedback on how best to drive them.

They are very light and perfect for long listening sessions - They weigh 7.4oz without cable and connector

I listened to these at a local meet up, and I liked them. I can't go into detail as the meet up was a couple of weeks ago.

What I do remember is I liked the sound but was light on the bass impact and sounded best on a tube amp.

I believe it was a combo of metal and plastic. It was very light and did not feel cheap.

At that price point it has to compete with the HD6XX/HD650 and that might be a harder sell.

This looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing more Apos x products in the future! I see that delivery times are quite far in the future so can you tell me whether I will be charged when I place the order or when the product is shipped?
Community members will be charged when they place the order.

Why not offer a bundle discounted price with the balanced cable (in black, not red) that you sell for these headphones?

Hi, you can reach out to out Support Team (contact@apos.audio) and we'll get that order in for you. We already made a lot of bundles and unfortunately there are some tech limitations with Shopify that we cannot add any more. We are happy to entertain any other bundles over Support Chat.

Edit: fixed email address
