Description
The latest addition to the critically acclaimed M-Series line, the ATH-M70x professional studio monitor headphones feature proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers and are tuned to accurately reproduce extreme low and high frequencies (5 to 40,000 Hz) while maintaining perfect balance. They are ideal for studio mixing and tracking, FOH, DJing, mastering, post-production, audio forensics and personal listening. Crafted for lasting durability, the studio headphones provide excellent sound isolation and are equipped with 90° swiveling earcups for easy, one-ear monitoring.
ATH-M70x Build & Design
Unlike the ATH-M50x, the Audio-Technica ATH-M70x are only available in black. At least, for now. Depending on how well these sell, it wouldn’t be surprising to see other color options become available in the future.
The look is very similar to the ATH-M50x, and the ATH-M40x too, for that matter. That isn’t to say that there is anything wrong with that — why mess with a classic? That said, don’t let the similarities in appearance fool you into thinking that these are the same.
The build incorporates much more metal than other models in the line, particularly in the yoke and back of the earcups. This makes for a very slight increase in weight, but it is barely noticeable. What isnoticeable is that, unlike the ATH-M50x, these aren’t collapsible. This wasn’t an issue to me, and I actuallyprefer them this way, but if you frequently travel with your headphones the larger footprint might be a problem. Fortunately the case will at least keep the headphones well protected.
While comfort was an issue in older the ATH-M50 headphones, the ATH-M50x seemed to improve this, and the ATH-M70x were very comfortable. The only issue I noticed during testing is that they could start to feel a little warm after a while. In the cold New York winter this was actually welcome, but it may not be as welcome in warmer climates.
