/ Unrestricted Driver Performance
Pure Open-Back Design
Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the driver, with each diaphragm movement directly translating into sound – without reliance on acoustic cavities or resonance for frequency enhancement. While the ATH-R70x utilized damping and acoustic design for added low-frequency emphasis, the ATH-R70xa delivers pure sound directly from the transducer, offering an authentic open-back experience and minimizing distortion. This ensures accurate, natural sound with realistic sound staging.
/ Unmatched Comfort
Featherlight Design
Weighing just 199 grams (without the cable), these fully open-back headphones virtually disappear from your head, allowing you to remain comfortable and fully engaged in your work, even during the longest studio sessions.
