The Precision Flagship of the "M" Series
The latest addition to the highly regarded "M" series, the ATH-M70x occupies the high-end segment focused on precision and neutrality. It extends the series' DNA of robustness and comfort while offering a more linear signature and superior high-frequency extension compared to historical models, to support critical studio decisions.
Who Is It For and What Is It Used For?
Designed for sound engineers, producers, DJs, and broadcast technicians, the ATH-M70x excels in tracking, mixing, mastering, post-production, and live sound reinforcement. Its tonal balance and isolation also make it a reliable ally for audio investigation and critical personal listening, even during long sessions.
Key Features for the Modern Studio
Reference Signature and Wide Dynamics
Tuned to maintain an ideal balance across the entire spectrum, the M70x allows judgment of bass balance, midrange placement, and cymbal air without fatigue. Its power handling up to 2000 mW at 1 kHz ensures headroom before any noticeable distortion.
Comfort and Reliability for Daily Use
The closed-back design limits leakage while promoting a stable image, useful both in recording and DJ booths. The 90-degree swiveling ear cups facilitate one-ear listening, while professional-grade materials ensure proven durability on the move.
Modular Connectivity and Smooth Workflow
With detachable cables, straight or coiled, you can instantly adapt the length to the situation: console monitoring, vocal booth, or portable editing. The 38 Ohm impedance and 97 dB sensitivity make the headphones easily usable on audio interfaces as well as mobile devices.

Casque monitoring ATH-M70x
-
Loved this helmet. But after three years a piece of plastic breaks and makes it unusable, without bad handling. I see on the internet that a lot of people have had this problem. In short: sustainable? No. I won't choose this brand anymore!
