A: If you liked the 40', s then you will simply LOVE the new Audio-Technica ATH-M70x Pro headphones. Overall frequency response is improved with no discernable compromise to efficiency. These will get loud, but will remain virtually distortionless on most content. They weigh only about an ounce more and are still very comfortable even with their larger 45mm drivers. Fairly flat but not a bit bright in the upper midrange. Good detail too.

I bought these on a whim after reading a review in What Hi Fi an english audio magazine. I was looking for a closed-back headphone that wasn't expensive mainly for listening to music at night thru a Schiit headphone amp. These exceeded my expectations- well balanced sonically and very good detail without being analytical. Also, they are light weight and easy to wear for long periods. I'm not a headphone expert and I'm sure there are better 'phones out there but I wasn't willing to go 4 figures to find out. For my needs, the performance way exceeds the asking price. They are keepers!

These allow the sparkle, depth and dimension to come through. Any closed back over-ear will get a tad warm a couple hours in, but these are ultra light and easy to just leave in the amp and grab. Put them down for 10 minutes. Put them back on.

The value is there, but these are not 'budget' headphones. I've left my AKGs on the shelf for these - at least for day-to-day work-from-home use. Soft over-ear padding. No discomfort at all. Ever.

Easy to wear, easy to buy, easy, fun and engaging listen.


Mash the 'buy' button.

Wow! I am extremely pleased with these great sounding headphones. Solid, full, well-balanced across the entire listening frequency range, accurate and realistic. Well made and comfortable; I wear them for hours at a time. Sheesh! While all closed back over ear headphones can become a little hot and sweaty around the ears, this is one of the coolest coolest and lightest weight headphones I have used. I listening to music or my amateur radio transceiver for extended periods without fatigue or discomfort. Music sounds full, balanced, and realistic, yet musical with plenty of treble, and not bass heavy. I appreciate when cymbals sound bright and sizzle like they do listening to live music. Replaceable cable. I understand (believe from researching) the cable for the more expensive Austrian Audio models fits this model. I have used these headphones almost daily for more than a year and remain very pleased with my purchase. Of course, B&H ship quickly and safely as usual. JHR

Accurate, balanced sound across the whole spectrum. Plenty of meat on the low end, and large open light and airy sound stage on the high end. Lightweight and comfortable. More musical than my AKG 240 (which are a tad clinical and dry) - the HiX15 is more punchy down low and more crisp, articulate up high. Plenty, but not too much bass. NOT scooped or weak in the midrange, where all the real action is. Very pleased - better overall balance than ATH-M50x, more musical and articulate then ATH-M40, way more interesting than AKG-240, much less sibilant than BeherDynamic and ATH-AD700X (which hurt my ears they are so bright and screechy) wider sound stage than Shure offerings, and just a nice, overall pleasant result - so comfortable I can wear them for extended periods. Works for me. JR
