Thanks dude - bought this today after your review from Minidisc, was hoping to see you there star , but no ....definitely amazing headphones. Compared it to many other openbacks in store like HD650, Amiron etc ...for the price I dont see (or hear !!) anything beating this .. Thanks for your review and guidance.

may i ask what amp you're using, ive been running an e10k dac with me for quite a while but im not confident whether it'll actually be enough to power a headphone with impedance of this magnitude

@samtheguy25 2 жыл бұрын

@@crftlz3367 Hey, I got the headphones and had the same concern before getting them too. After getting them, I don't think an amp is that necessary. They sound great already, and are plenty loud for me. You could always get it first, and decide if the volume is enough for you then consider topping (heh) up and getting an amp if you want, though I think its really not necessary

@repasiv 8 жыл бұрын

Very nice review, thank you! I would be interested in a comparison to the Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro. It is also open design and soundwise 2 steps up from the mentioned DT-770. I think it sounds very well balanced and neutral with high definition across the frequency range. The R70x looks very promising.

So far this really is my top candidate of purchasing my next headphone. So far I've got an AKG K550, but recently I've won an RHA Dacamp L1 and the K550 gets waaaaay to loud due to low impedance and high sensitivity. Really looking forward to test the R70X. Enjoyed your review!

@samtheguy25 2 жыл бұрын

For anyone looking at this headphone, I had the same concern. Everyone from the shop salesperson to online reviews mentioned how the ohms are too high and that you'll need dedicated amps to run it etc... I saw a pair for cheap and got it, thinking I could use whatever I saved to get a decent dac/amp... The headphones sound absolutely terrific on their own. I plugged it into my apple dongle at the store and even the guy there was surprised, they sound good straight out, and loud too, like painfully loud after the 70-80% mark. I think everyone throws around the impedance number but the sensitivity is important too, and I've been running them straight out of my usb mic for monitoring, and they work fantastic even with the knob set to 30%. So yeah, absolutely banger pair of headphones! I find myself using them more often than my Moondrop Variations, even if the latter are technically more impressive. Just my 0.02, YMMV

Can’t believe I’m seeing this video so late. I just recently purchased the R70x and so far I’m really loving it! I also own a pair of AD1000X and I love those as well, they’re just really different but both fantastic sounding headphones. R70x lacks that shimmery, shiny texture the AD series has, but has much better bass and overall body in sound.

Hey, Lachlan. Very nice review! I am grateful that you had time to review and post. I have a question about what "balanced" means and whether it is desirable or not. In parts of your review, it seems that being balanced is almost a negative quality, i.e. not fun. This is all kind of theory oriented, but it's fun to think about. It seems to me that an AUDIOPHILE headphone should not be overriding the intentions of the engineer that made the original recording. If he wants the female vocal to be forward or recessed or neither, wouldn't you think that's what we should hear from an audiophile headphone? If, on the same recording, the female vocal is forward with one headphone and recessed on another, wouldn't you conclude that at least one of the two is not conveying the recording engineers intentions (and possibly both)? I guess I'm wondering if we want to be using headphones as audio equalizers? To me, a "balanced" or "neutral" audiophile headphone would not impose its own sound signature over the recording engineers effort. It would be best, and therefore "audiophile" if it did not exaggerate or diminish… at least as a goal. (I realize that knowing the audio engineer's intentions may actually not be possible.) My personal preference in an audiophile headphone WOULD be neutrality, balance, detail, ultra- clean, low distortion, precise imaging, high dynamic range, etc. If the female vocal doesn't jump out enough for me, or jumps out too much, I can add an audio-equalizer for such personal "corrections." The absurdest extreme of headphone-as-equalizer would be requiring a different headphone for every recording. Yes, absurd, of course. There's absolutely nothing "wrong" with choosing one headphone over another because it is more FUN. That's a personal choice. That's part of the fun of the hobby. But "FUN" doesn't necessarily mean "audiophile," or "accurate," or whatever terms apply. Does any of this make sense to you? Am I missing the point somehow? Thanks for all you do!

@lachlanlikesathing 9 жыл бұрын

Adrian S Glad to hear you're thinking about this! Often times you will see debates in audio about subjectivism and objectivism, and in some senses the audio engineer's mastering intentions are considered the most 'objective', which we would use with 'objective' equipment. However, hearing is inherently subjective. There's no way to truly know the recording engineer's real intentions. There's no way for the engineer to know what we will hear or the context in which we will hear it. We can take educated guesses but it's not really something to get too worried about. Keep in mind that they have to use headphones and speakers themselves, and the engineers have different hearing just like any normal human being. There's nothing to say that the recording engineer's perceptions are any more or less valid than our own context. For instance, we may just prefer bassier headphones because we listen to music on the train, or we prefer more treble in our headphones because we are older and have less sensitive high frequency hearing. This stuff actually comes down to basic philosophy (have a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms), and one of the more interesting aspects of this hobby. Unfortunately people tend to attach value judgements to these sorts of questions which is honestly not worth the effort of arguing about because it gets stupid at that point.

@AdrianIII 9 жыл бұрын

***** One old fashioned way of evaluating audiophile equipment was, how clearly can it create the illusion of listening to live instruments. Does the reproduction of the recording sound like real musical instruments. That can work for acoustic music, jazz, orchestral music, etc., but not for the more electronic and digital forms of music. For the latter, there is no "real" reference point. However, even a solo acoustic guitar in a small room can be a challenge, if the goal is a recording and reproduction that sounds "identical" to the live performer. I think long long ago, a speaker manufacturer put a violinist and one of their speakers behind an acoustically transparent curtain. The audience, who could not see the source of the music was asked which was playing, the violinist or a recording. A challenge! Obviously, the speaker manufacturer hoped that the audience couldn't discern the difference. I don't know how it actually turned out. I guess my comment about headphones as equalizers did not compute. LOL PS - I am not "arguing." Just fun to think about.(BTW: I'd guess that the recording engineer BELIEVES his perceptions are more valid than a random listener's "context." Or perhaps not.)

I have a pair of audio technica MX-40 and these are no good as they are too flat and there is no definition between the treble and bass instruments in the music. Are the ATH-R70x flat like these? If so do you know what headphones are good for my kind of music.

I feel like it even brings out more detail in my M50x's as well in low gain mode too.

I'm very interested in buying these headphones, as I love AT a lot, It's very interesting for me to see that they've a 470 Ohm drivers, as my amplifier is high impedance thought, but I'm interested in K712 Pro too. I've had Q701 too: they had great sense of postioning, great "air", but they were very bad balanced, too much emphasys on 10 KHz and around, a mediocre bass response, so I returned them quickly. What do you thing about these two? I'm thinking to ATH-AD1000x too, altough they're completely different.

@lachlanlikesathing 9 жыл бұрын

If you can only really afford one, it's safer to go with the K712 if you don't already have an amp. Otherwise it's very hard - I might prefer the R70x for dub step and EDM just because it's a little more gentle.

+pstaldzor They're pretty different headphones, should be an easy choice between them. If you're in a noisy place or somewhere where your noise might bother others, the open-back R70X's are pretty much out of the question. Again, if you like bass the M50's win. Everywhere else the R70X's are the way to go I reckon, except price.

HD600 is on sale at addictedtoaudio for AU$328, which is better/neutral/relaxing? Just think presently it's pricey. AD700X( Taiwan made ) has ok clamp with 3D-wings A900X( Japan made ) very good/comfy clamp.

What happened to the HD650? I thought those were one of your favorites? If I remembered correctly didn't you trade one of your headphones for the HD650 and kept it because you like it so much?

@lachlanlikesathing 9 жыл бұрын

D Lee My friend lent it to me to own for a while, and while I was up for the trade at the end he decided to keep them.

Because of the weak Australian dollar, some products may be cheaper. There is a good headphone store in QLD called Headphonic :)

I've just tried them. Very interesting, but very closed in sound as new. How many burin in hours did you find necessary to make them sound?

@vt-ube9631 9 жыл бұрын

DoctorIdo listen to them for an hour or two, then you'll find that the closed in sound actually wasn't closed in at all, as it is more realistic and slightly open (but not lively as other headphones).

Vlenbo 2 I've let in a burn-in loop with CD test for 24h, and now they've completey changed. Now the're not closed, but "only" natural. Great headphones. Ihope I can have a pair of K712 Pro too, but now I use these one.
