Interesting I really need to try it out with tube amps myself. Personally I find the K5 pro good enough as everything becomes really spacious with good instrument separation.
I can only imagine how much more spacious it would sound. On the same level as the lower end AD line spacious?
I just grab a R70x today. Audio Technica is offering 10% discount around Chinese New Year so too good an opportunity to miss out on a great headphone! Very happy!

I bought the R70x in Audio Technica Singapore. I paired it with IFI iDSD BL and it sounds fantastic. I too want to try it with tube amp when I have a chance later on. Probably will invest in a decent tube next for this and my Beyer T1.2 as well.

Good to know. Well even with full price the R70X is so much cheaper in singapore than ordering form amazon US.
Did you try straight out of your mobile device? The R70X bass is the only headphone I know so far where scaling really present. Interesting how it sounds great out of low power devices as well though.

Phone can't handle this one. I always bring my IFI iDSD BL along to test headphones. The audio technica in Funan has nice amps for customers to plug their own sources in too.

I had a listen on my phone again and you are right, the slam isn't pressent. The bass still digs deep into subbass rumble.
Never have had a issue with trebble extention on the r70x, its always the bass that is a greedy boy wanting all that power.
Still I say it sounds nice coming out of the phone jack.
With regards to the shure 1540 pads, I'm not sure if I'm willing to shell out pads that cost 1/3 that of the headphone given that I can wear the r70x with defult pads for hours. That being said they look real nice.
Already got mine (XD 05 plus) , it drives my r70x well. But I think it's need a little treble improvement and clarity. I will try to switch it wih burson v5iD opamp.
I Still remember how good its paired with AK SP1000, the clarity and treble was superb
Got a chance to listen to the R70X on the Feliks Audio Espressivo MKII
At least on stock tubes while the soundstage did increase the bass seemed to be equally dispersed out making a overdamped slam feeling.
I think I'll stick to solid state for now.
Btw if anyone has the elegia as well care to chip in on how it sounds relative to the r70x?

I tried the elegia briefly, and I remembered not liking the bass compared to the R70x. I might be biased cuz the R70x paired better with my other gears.
Well, after having these for nearly three months, I can confirm what an absolute gem of a can these are. Perhaps my favourite ever.
Do you ever get it when you listen to something with a certain headphone or other equipment and it just sounds richer? It possesses a soul and tone that can not be conveyed by any of your other gear? A tone that makes you feel more, digs deeper into your brain? Well, this is that headphone for me.
Every time I listen to these, I am amazed by their most amazing timbre and tone. Music seems to have more life, more body, more dynamical groove. It's really hard to explain, but I hope you know what I mean.
In terms of sheer beauty of tone and musical soul, these can not be beaten for me. I will never get tired of hearing sweet piano tones , hi hats and violins on these. In fact, any instrument. They just have a huge SOUL.
