Reference-Grade Open-Back Sound

Hear your recordings with greater accuracy.

The ATH-R70xa features a fully open-back design engineered to provide a natural, spacious sound presentation.

Its open architecture allows air to move freely through the earcups, helping create an expansive soundstage with accurate spatial information—ideal for professional monitoring, mixing and mastering.

Precision-Tuned 45 mm Drivers

Experience detailed, balanced audio reproduction.

The ATH-R70xa is equipped with specially developed 45 mm dynamic drivers designed to deliver accurate and highly detailed sound across the frequency range.

The drivers feature a proprietary voice-coil design and carefully tuned acoustic characteristics to provide improved low-frequency reproduction while maintaining the transparent and balanced sound required for professional reference listening.

Extended Low-Frequency Response

Hear the low end with greater confidence.

Compared with previous R-Series models, the ATH-R70xa provides improved low-frequency extension and reproduction, allowing you to hear bass frequencies with greater definition and accuracy.

This makes it particularly useful when evaluating bass instruments, kick drums and low-frequency elements during mixing and mastering.

Wide, Natural Soundstage

Experience a more open presentation.

The ATH-R70xa's open-back construction provides a wide and natural soundstage, helping you accurately perceive instrument placement, stereo imaging and spatial relationships within a recording.

This makes it an effective tool for critical listening and professional audio production.

Exceptionally Lightweight

Stay comfortable during long sessions.

Weighing approximately 199 g, the ATH-R70xa is designed to minimise fatigue during extended listening sessions.

Its lightweight construction is complemented by Audio-Technica's 3D Wing Support System, which distributes pressure across the head while helping maintain a secure and comfortable fit.

3D Wing Support System

Designed for long-term comfort.

The ATH-R70xa incorporates Audio-Technica's 3D Wing Support System, which helps distribute the weight of the headphones across the top of the head.

Combined with soft earpads and a lightweight frame, the system provides a comfortable fit for extended mixing, mastering and listening sessions.

Detachable Dual-Sided Cables

Built for professional flexibility.

The ATH-R70xa features detachable dual-sided cables, allowing the headphones to be connected securely while making cable replacement or maintenance more convenient.

The included cables are designed for professional audio applications and provide a dependable wired connection without batteries, Bluetooth or charging.
