They sound very good to me. Clear and extended bass, a little forward in the upper mids to my ears , and detailed treble, not tinny, grainy or sibilant. I can pick out more details in the mix, than with my AKG K361. It’s hard for me to quantify but there is a clarity here that allows me to pick up the more subtle effects and processing a producer might be using to manipulate a vocal track or mangle a sample, it’s really cool. Music stages well, a little wide but also tall with great imaging, I find that panning and tremolo effects are exceptionally smooth. Overall I find the Audio Technica R70xa to be very detailed, and I personally enjoy the tuning and natural timbre.These are very comfortable for long hours. I’ve been using them 4-5+ hours at a time and find that they are very comfortable, no headaches. My only two complaints are that the suspension strap is set in place by little magnets that are easily knocked out of position by larger heads (XXL/ 7 7/8)and that the ear pads are a little shallow as my ears touch the liner of the driver. Neither issue causes these to feel uncomfortable for me. The cable that comes with these is pretty standard, no frills, no noise. The headphones also come with a soft bag that is very nice to the touch.I don’t own anything comparable in this price range, so I don’t know if it’s a great deal, they sound better than my AKG K361, Sennheiser HD 280 pro, PC37x, or Hifiman He-4XX. I’m not mad that I bought these.I’m by no means a professional, Just an enthusiast. Hope this helps. I primarily used these with the Quedelix 5k Dac/Amp paired to my phone. I also used them a couple times with my MPC ONE+ both were plenty loud.

Truly Amazing ! As soon as I plugged these in I knew they needed a burn in for a while ! And after a few hours ooh man ! Holy moly !! I thought my HD 650 were the best I will ever get . No way ! Bass is perfect , mids are clear and highs are Airy and smooth and slightly warm but this is a polished sound that is perfect in all the Frequencies ! Iv never had a pair of Audio Technica’s , I never liked the sound of the MTHX50s at all. But I kept hearing about these and thought they look nice let me try them . These are the lightest , most delicate and beautiful Headphones I ever owned ! There designed so unique and and solid but light and very comfortable . They don’t even feel like there on my head ! IMO They sound better than my HD650’s. And that’s a Huge statement ! For Audiophiles I think these will be loved ! Audio technica really made a great and Amazing Set of Open back Headphones ! I’m really curious of the RX70’s now ! If these RX70xa’s sound this good what about the other ones ? I think I want to try those now !
