Thought I'd post brief comments on the R70X. I'll get right too it. I'm not a fan. I've only had them a couple of days and I will allow them to break in. Whether they will change their sound, or I my opinion I do not know. For my taste the unit is far too warm (in the lower mids) and does not provide the ultimate in clarity. For their price range, I think the R70x is very good. Perhaps at this point I prefer a slightly bright sound, but I always felt my preference was neutrality and I do not feel these headphones are neutral. Clear? yes. Crystal clear? no.
The unit is full-bodied, perhaps too full bodied with a slight softness that reduces the slam factor. Midbass is plentiful and can be palpable when called for. Slam is good, but not great. One comment others have said that I agree with - this headphone is certainly a deviation from the ATH headphones I've heard in the past.
