    So I got these instead of the HD600 for two reasons. The first is that I tried these at a local music store and was blown away. The second is that they were less expensive than the HD600. The clamp is easily adjusted by simply bending the headband, and I think I've got it perfectly adjusted. I barely feel them when they're on my head, but they still feel and sound a lot closer than the AD900x. Thanks for the awesome review. It solidified my decision to blow a big chunk of cash on headphones, and I couldn't be happier.

    • @groundedgameplayx
      @groundedgameplayx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I really love the AD900X (got it for mixing but gaming has been so fun with them that I almost want an extra pair, music sounds amazing too with them) and am trying to decide if I should get the r70x. I also love the m50xbt, that and the AD900X are my only good headphones. Help?

    I just auditioned both and honestly I was surprised by how strongly I felt about it. They do share a similar sound-signature, but I felt the R70X's _just_ bested the HD600's on most counts. The bass felt both more extended and more natural, the high's a little less present but again more natural to my ears. The soundstage feels slightly closer to the ear, but I found the effect pleasing, and it seems to help the transient response, the HD600's felt more muddled somehow despite the (very slight) extra high end. I also found the R70X's more comfortable (I have small ears), they're incredibly light, almost disconcertingly so at first, but I came to really appreciate it. They felt more delicate than the HD600's and probably less impervious to knocks/drops. I would take them over the HD600's both for accuracy when it comes to mixing (the low end in particular will likely translate better), and for music listening. These seemed to me to be the first headphone I've heard which successfully mirrors what the HD600's/650's does so well, at a comparable price point, but actually improves on them in a couple of meaningful ways.

    The best price to performance headphone you can buy imo. The imaging and tonality on these is actually incredible, nothing in the price range comes close.

  • @StevieMasters

    I have a pair of the R70X, was checking them against the sound of my Adam A7x monitors in my project studio and I had to check a couple times to make sure my Adams were not playing in the background, very nice sound, lighter than my AKG headset and sound much better overall, similar in sound to my Adam monitors. These are fairly honest headphones and I would recommend them for the price. Could absolutely work on mixes with these cans.

      hi steve . what is your rangking for mixing , based on experience the cans that you have used regularly .

  • @CT37BN
    @CT37BN 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Firstly the R70x is the most un-Audio Technica in terms of sound signature that most who are familiar with the brand know. I think the Sennheiser HD600 was first and foremost *the benchmark for neutrality and then came along the Hifiman HE400S and Audio Technica R70x ( roughly all 3 are at the same price point ).
    Full stock version - HE400S is the most neutral with very good detail/sound stage -- HD600 a bit more bass/narrower sound stage ( as compared to HE400S ) -- R70x again more bass/low end and just slightly narrower sound stage than HD600.
    Honestly really loving size/weight/build/correct amount of clamping force and headband ( close distance to head ) of R70x.. you can actually use them outdoors without looking obnoxious.
    Another great review there Z and Z's cat.

  • @JPZ-1986
    @JPZ-1986 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I've had these for three years now and am very happy with them. I ended up replacing the pads with Shure HPAEC1540 (~$40) and it just brought the comfort level to a max. I have a very small head and ears, and just love how these headphones fit. Clamping force is perfect, and they stay on the head so easily because of the lightweight. I actually wear these when I go rollerblading with ease. If you aren't going to be sweating all over them, they will work great for being somewhat active.
    A few months back I got the MrSpeakers Aeon Flow Closed, as well as paired it with the IFI micro idsd black label, after listening to a pair of closed back beyerdynamics and wanted to get that more intimate sound experience. What I will say is that these are over twice as expensive as the AT R70x, and sound signature likes/dislikes aside, I think the level of performance you get in the R70x along with the benefits of being cheaper and lighter (that I feel I don't have to handle them like they are made of glass), make these great value. I also got them on sale for around 250. Just get these and you will not be disappointed. They do not bleed sound despite being labeled OPEN, so they can work well if you want to listen next to other people and not have them hear the music.

    Bought my pair of r70x recently, the original package was good enough but I decided to swap pads. Got a pair of Brainwavz angled oval pads to fit and they’re perfect now. Extremely comfortable and soundstage got enhanced due to the extra thickness.

  • @OptLab
    @OptLab 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I totally agree with you although I only tried both for less than an hour. Sennheiser is slightly more detailed in the highs. But I think the r70x sounds more natural with some more bass. And above all I think the r70x floats on the head, it feels like there is NO headphone and the sound comes from anywhere (in a good way).
    While on the Sennheiser, you feel the weight of the pads and it removes sound immersion. I would pick the r70x for my everyday headphone.

  • @aadriohno
    @aadriohno 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I just bought these today. I totally agree with you that they're on par with each other.
    Originally I was gonna buy the HD600 but I got a good deal on the R70x so I went for it. Plus the R70x is much lighter and not as clampy as the 600 which I preferred
    happy purchase~ woo

  • @UrAverageMLG50
    @UrAverageMLG50 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I just want to say that I am very impressed with the aging of your HD600, I saw it on Headfi a while back, probably 2 years (?!) ago and they look just the same. That was about the same time I painted my HD580s and made custom grills for them. Nicely done.

    i always thought of myself as a "speaker" kind of music lover, but now that i got a couple of fine, entry level HP's i think my path has made a turn left, or right. just today installed the brainwavz pads on my m30x's and they have become glued to my head. i find these HP's perfect for mp3 music, they give it the brightness those files lack.

  • @JBKeyz88

    I compared the R70X with the A700X, m50x, m40x (all audiotechnica) and the Shure srh 840(the rest there were irelevant to my ears). I needed a pair of closed cans. Exept for the R70X which are opened cans but i added them cuz they had gread sound stage (big fan of soundstage). My clasification: R70X, Shure 840, m40x last m50x. Oh i forgot something? Yea the A700X because they were the last ones and simply BLEW my mind, almost identical soundstage(even better than R70X) sound as clear maybe better than the Shure 840 but not as neutral(very warm). But wait? a700x is a pair of closed cans? Why did they sound so good to me?Why did they have better imaging and soundstage than the R70X???? I don't know the internet has little to no reviews of the A700X. Is it because they were really easy to power? I mean I put them directly in my Redmi note 3 Pro Smartphone and they were like crazy loud. In short they did everything better than the rest and even my friends agreed(2 different friends other songs and tastes in music). Why are they discontinuing them now? I can't even buy them, they are 99$ on amazon but they won't ship in Europe(here they are 300$).

    • @OptLab
      @OptLab 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I also love the r70x, srh840 so much. But unlike Z I kind of like the m50 which in spite of the too present bass and not so detailed higher frequencies, sound very natural. I do not like the 40's which sound shifted towards the highs

      +ASe7en HD800s is out already, it's better than HD800 because it's got smoother highs (no more annoying peaks) and better bass extension, and overall a fuller sound. I wouldn't buy a HD800 with HD800S being available. Unless you need the headphone for studio use.

  • @eltouristoduo
    @eltouristoduo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    idk if anyone said b4, but I'd guess the plug/jack design is intended to provide stress resistance. 1/8 are crap, after all. you want to take the stress off of the contact jack/ plug, which they seem to do using a larger plastic, locking area that takes the strain off the connector. I wish there was a standard for 1/8 stress-relieving connectors. People rightly complain about the failures of the jacks in all sorts of devices.

  • @dennisr334
    @dennisr334 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Hey, i got now both Headphones here, the HD 600 and the r70x. Like you sayd, the HD 600 has a (little) bit more trebles and less bass. I find the HD 600 has clearly heard more trebles. Few days ago i was by an ear specialist who cleans my ears, since i was there i here everything extremly harsh and high. I really can hear the difference very good, also when i would hear the two headphones on different days. The first reaction let me think that the HD 600 sounds a bit better, but i personaly cant relax as good to music like with the r70x :)
    I think i keep them both, because i cant listen to 2000x or akg 701 or DT880, because the trebles of them makes my ear bleeding. I can use the HD 600 for some classic and the r70x as an alrounder. Only my preferences and taste :) Thanks for your video!

    @derbigpr500 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The biggest advantage of the HD600's, other than being made to fit on a human head, is that you can take them apart and put them back together in 60 seconds without using any tools, and replace every part on them without any problem, at a fair price, unlike Audio Technica who will charge you a million dollars to replace a busted driver or a screwed up cable, that is IF you manage to get in contact with them at all. Not that you have to do that often on HD600's, because they're incredibly reliable and solid. I recently got a pair of HD600's made in 1997, they still sound like the ones I bought in 2013. Most headphones disintegrate in that time. HD600's are a classic headphone for a reason, you simply can't go wrong with them, and when you buy them, you know you have something reliable that will always serve you well and you'll probably have it for the rest of your life because it's simply too good to sell. They've been around for more than 20 years, and their basic driver and baffle design has been around for more than 30 years. That's proper engineering when you manage to make a product that stays on the market almost completely unchanged for decades, and only 20-30 years in the future similar products appear that can even compete with it in a few aspects, but still don't beat as an overall great product.

  • @reesercliff
    @reesercliff 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    because the hd 600s and r70x are reference headphones, they are designed to be used in a studio when mixing and editing music. so they are by design to be a completely flat in their sound signature, they were not designed for home listening as the ad 2000x was

    • @llysender
      @llysender 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      they may be reference headphones but the r70x is in to way flat, its tuned to have hyped bass and vocals at the expense of treble. Flat would be closer to the hifiman sundara and he560.
      The r70x is perfect for chilling out and casual listening.

    I don't understand why only you, and like 2 others on TH-cam recommend these. Everyone else thinks they don't stand up to the Sennheisers. I have both the 600 and R70X, and I clearly prefer the R70x after a pad swap. I use the Brainwavz XL Perforated leather pads, increased the soundstage to more than the HD600, plus extends the high end and low end. And I also like them better than the Sundara, which will make some people mad, lol.

      Hello. Wanna ask if you compared them with stock pads. How big is the difference or improvement? I'm looking to replace my sunken in stock pads on my old R70X so I'll appreciate your advice ^^
      With the stock pads imo, I do like the sound, but i find the mids just a _tad_ bit forward relative to the tame bass and treble.

    • @divinecurrent9053
      @divinecurrent9053 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@aeremi Hello, yes I have compared them with the stock pads. Stock does sound a bit mid forward to me as well, and are very similar to my 58X actually. What the Brainwavz pads do mostly is increase the soundstage and image size, and have a pretty large difference in the treble clarity. Stuff just sounds more open and airy to me with those pads, yet with zero harshness, while the stock pads are smaller and therefore have a more closed in and small soundstage with less treble air. Getting good bass with the Brainwavz pads requires a good seal, but it's about the same bass amount as the stock pads, perhaps a little more mid-bass. I really can't go back to stock after trying the XL pads, just personal preference.

But then when I tried the R70x with the XL pads, they actually sounded cleaner and less harsh in the highs than the Sundara, plus they are much more comfortable. I am also not a fan of the Sundara headband.
      By the way, I have tried normal sized hybrid round Brainwavz pads with the R70x, I didn't like it as much as the PU perforated leather XL ones. However, the XL Hybrids may sound completely different, I only tried the normal size ones.

      @OptLab 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tested both in a shop. Sennheiser is more detailed in the highs. I am not sure about the mids But I think the r70x sounds more natural with some more bass. And above all I think the r70x floats on the head, it feels like there is NO headphone and the sound comes from anywhere (in a good way). You cannot tell if something sounds in your room or from the headphone.
      While on the Sennheiser, you feel the weight of the pads and it removes sound immersion.
      With the 600, you can identify what comes out from your headphone or from your environnment
      I would pick the r70x for my everyday headphone, it feels like a transparent layer of sound. Sadly I can't afford it yet.

    today I heard about the R7x which is based apparently on the ATH-M70...is this real...I'm talking here specially about timbre and overall frequency balance...would like to hear it from you... cause I never liked anything from Sennheiser ...it's a question of ear's taste.
