Audio-Technica ATH-R70xa Professional Open-Back Headphones with Bonus Gadget Cleaner

Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the driver, with each diaphragm

movement directly translating into sound – without reliance on acoustic cavities or resonance

for frequency enhancement. While the ATH-R70x utilized damping and acoustic design for

added low-frequency emphasis, the ATH-R70xa delivers pure sound directly from the

transducer, offering an authentic open-back experience and minimizing distortion. This ensures accurate, natural sound with realistic sound staging.

Made for critical listening, the ATH-R70xa headphones allow engineers to make the right

decision at every step of the production process. With an extended frequency range, every

detail of a mix is transparently reproduced. The unrestricted airflow and absence of internal

resonance allows for an extremely quick transient response, ensuring the clarity and separation needed to handle complex contemporary mixes.

These featherlight (199 g without the cable), fully open-back headphones feature streamlined construction and a new headband design, allowing the headphones to virtually disappear during use – perfect for long working sessions.

The ATH-R70xa is handcrafted in our Machida facility. Each unit is meticulously assembled from components built in-house, then rigorously tested before leaving the factory.

Whether mixing, mastering, or creating, the ATH-R70xa is the perfect production tool,

delivering accurate and dependable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats.
