The head band is reminiscent to a Yamaha head phone back in the late 80s - very early 90s I used to own & listen to........

Is W3000ANV more detailed? I know it is more than detailed enough for me.

I am very interested in getting these and balancing them... But I don't know how they would compare to my ATH-W3000ANV. Would I ever actually use them after first week. =D

Back when I had the R70x, side by side in terms of sound quality, the W3000ANV is clearly superior.

The R70X excelled at being natural sounding but not the most resolving.

Thank you for your view. = )

Good to see more members are liking these AT. The initial impression I got from the OP review is they are good cans nothing special, and not any better than comparable priced HD 650 , DT 880. As more people get to listen to these and voiced their opinion, my interest started to grow. With actual listening, I have to say you guys are right on spot!

In general (our) community is quite reliable. That being mostly sharing user experience / reviews. My case in point - I surmised that Dr. Dres' headsets were expensive bloated bass and a fashion accessory. Then, switched to AKGs. Finally - W10s. Still, price range remained, even more - but I did get more out of my cash... & I'm an AT loyal fan, too... via Speaker cables, audio accessories and scaled mini speaker units...

How is the R70x performance when pairing with O2?
 
I'm planning to get the E10k+O2 (DIY) for only 150$ to drive R70x, or should I get the E10k+Magni2U (300$) to get better amplifying performance?
 
Get the O2 and I could save up 150$. 
If it worth the extra 150$ I'll the Magni 2 Uber .

after several sessions i just want to confirm shortly that the brainwavz hm5 pads fit nicely. for me its a big improvement in comfort. it seems i have very wide ears, because even if the brainwavz measure 5cm in width, it could be a tad wider. the height is perfect.
i would love to test beyerdynamic-pads on those phones, but cant figure out a way to mount them.
are there any other known pads which fit on r70x?

I couldn't afford to OTL, they're not available at my country as well, 

 shipping costs is fairly high.

I think you may try to order Little Dot OTLs from China or Feliks Audio Espressivo from Poland - shipping should not exceed 50$, these amps cost aout 300$
R70x deserves it

FWIW, I love how R70x pairs with Beresford Capella (with a custom linear PSU), really nice bass that can hit hard (for my preference), mostly playing in sub-bass depending on the track. The depth and HF/high frequency knobs also work nicely, although a bit subtle. Would really love closed version of R70x though, I prefer more focused sound than what open headphones offer, too bad M70x seemingly has entirely different soundsig.
