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

[fumoffuXx]

Have you guys tried R70x with Sony PHA 3 and its balanced cable?
I think R70x and Sony balanced cable are compatible.
Both uses dual stereo 3.5mm.
Can anyone try this and tell us how they sound?

I dont see how they are compatible, unless u want to reterminate the 2 headphone side jacks to ath 2.5mm jacks. Then yes they are usable. Or you are saying that make a cable can enables the r70x to be used onto the pha3 which is quite simper to do

No, both of them are using two 3.5mm stereo jacks, meaning their connectors are the same.
Can anyone try Sony's balanced dual 3.5 mm cable with R70x??

Sorry but r70x connectors are 2.5mm plugs

 

[fumoffuXx]

But if u are asking if the r70x can run balanced. Yes they can, im running them on balanced now

Nooo....

If I reterminate the Sony cable into 2.5mm, will there be loss in sound quality?
I might do that. I prefer Sony cable over obscure custom made cables...

If u do it right shouldn't be an issue. Remember to use the plugs from Luna shop with ath locking mechanism. U cant use normal 2.5mm plugs

The HM5 ear pads arrived my home.
Sound signature is changed as same as earfonia mentioned before(post #355).
​Very comfortable than stock pads!

+1 using them as well with balanced cables =D sounds rather splendid
