The T70 was introduced at the time before pads rolling being popular. Most people does not realize the T70's reputation of having piercing treble, no bass was all caused by its shallow stock pads. With the stock pads, The T70 is virtually an on ear headphones on the for most adults. The lack of proper sealing making the T70 bass less and intolerable.
Fortunately, Beyerdynamic now offers a cure for the T70: The DT1770 velour pads (available from Amazon UK).
The 3-4mm taller DT1770 pads give the T70 the sealing it needs for proper bass response, Finally the T70 can show its true potential.
The best attribute of the T70 is its transparency/lack of characters. I have owned and am owning many headphones and none of my other headphones would be so "characterless" like the T70. I can listening to different genres of music for a few hours and forget which headphone I am having on my head. All my other headphones always reminds me "who they are" through their sound signatures.
I also own the T5p, which is still the best closed back Beyerdynamic in terms of resolution and imaging. But the T70 does one thing better than the T5p: the lack of closed back reverb. I do not know how Beyerdynamic does it but the T70 is least closed back sounding headphones I have ever heard. It does not having the typical strong closed back reverb effect reminding to you that you are listening to a pair of closed back headphones.
I think Beyerdynamic is discontinuing the T70. With street price less than US$300, it is the best value closed back dynamic headphones available for now IMO.
