Audio technica ATH-R70xa

The flagship of Audio-Technica's range of professional open-air headphones, theATH-R70xa embodies excellence in reference listening.

The direct heir to the legendary ATH-R70x, it preserves its natural, balanced sound signature, while pushing back the limits of precision, detail and depth of field. The result: an exceptionally transparent, immersive listening experience of unrivalled accuracy.

Totally open architecture for absolute sonic purity

Designed around a completely open acoustic concept, the R70xa relies exclusively on the performance of its transducers, without coloration or artifice. Every movement of the diaphragm is reproduced with exemplary fidelity, without resonance chambers or artificial frequency enhancement.

Where the R70x exploited certain acoustic treatments to accentuate bass, the R70xa delivers a totally pure and direct sound, with minimal distortion. This approach guarantees authentic sound reproduction and spatial positioning of remarkable realism and coherence.

Monitoring precision to meet professional demands

Designed for demanding sound engineers and creators, the ATH-R70xa offers extended frequency response and unrivalled analytical precision. Every nuance of the mix is accurately reproduced, thanks to the total absence of internal resonances and optimized airflow.

Its responsiveness to transients ensures exemplary clarity and separation of instruments, ideal for mixing, mastering or immersive audio creation.

Comfort and lightness for long listening sessions

Despite its cutting-edge performance, the R70xa remains a featherweight, weighing in at just 199 g (without cable). Its new, streamlined metal headband and lightweight structure ensure a comfortable, stable fit, even during extended use.

Ergonomic earcups promote air circulation, reduce hearing fatigue and offer a unique open-air feel, perfectly suited to long listening sessions and studio work.

Craftsmanship and high-precision components

Each ATH-R70xa is hand-assembled at Audio-Technica's Machida factory in Japan. Proprietary components are meticulously integrated and then individually tested under rigorous quality control, guaranteeing exemplary consistency and reliability.

An absolute reference for professional listening

The ultimate reference for sound professionals, theATH-R70xa combines neutrality, precision and immersion. It renders every signal with realism, whether for stereo mixing, multichannel mastering orimmersive listening.

An exceptional tool for modern audio production, it embodies Audio-Technica's quest for sonic truth.
