I had a chance to try out the r70x with my cayin n6. Well in short tey are the first open cans i realllly like good highs wide sound stage. Best of alll pretty bassy! There is impact from the bass, though u cant compare it to a closed can. As compared to the m70x i completely hated it. Too flat sounding, still prefer the m50x only problem now is how will the r70x sound like through a basic home setup! Cant wait haha

The more I read and hear about them the more I want those r70x! Lol

Audio-Technica did it right with R70x. It's a very nice sounding headphone.
M70x is more a sound engineer surgical tool, or microscope to blown up small detail, for sound engineer to easily hear any clicks, pops, and any unwanted noise easily, and to remove them.  For music listening, they are rather too bright for my taste.

The R70x are now available at B&H (online only, though).

They scooped Amazon.  Nice.

It's now in stock in B&H's superstore, as well.

The early impressions of the R70x are encouraging, I'm definitely seriously contemplating a purchase now! It's the only headphone I'm actually interested in buying even with the other flagships recently announced or displayed at CanJam, over the likes of the Audeze EL-8, MrSpeakers Ether, and Enigmacoustics Dharma. Audio-Technica has rarely let me down with anything so I'm optimistic! (The only exception was the atrocious-sounding FC7.)

I tried the R70x today. Surprisingly, it is tonally very similar to AD2000/X without the mids coloration. Warm, organic yet resolving, with satisfying bass quantity for an open can. To my ears it is almost on par with the AD2k/X in terms of technical ability. Very impressive for the price!

Want the R70x. Will keep eye onSales forum. Have too many headphones to justify buying them new.

Hello, everyone.  Been lurking for sometime now and finally joined up.
 
I have a trip to Japan later in the week.  Will travelling through Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.  Can anyone recommend a shop where I can pick up the R70X?  Or are there Japanese online sites that would sell these and deliver quickly?

I just bought the 50's and ordered the 50x and will certainly keep watching the reviews on the 70x.  Pretty happy with the sound of the 50's and am sure I will like the 50x but these already sound nice.
