Description
The Audio-Technica ATH-M70x professional monitor headphones are the flagship model in the M-Series, designed for precise audio monitoring and detailed sound reproduction. Featuring proprietary 45mm large-aperture dynamic drivers, rare-earth neodymium magnets, and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils, these headphones deliver a balanced sonic signature with an extended frequency response of 5 Hz to 40 kHz. They are suited to studio mixing, tracking, mastering, location recording, audio forensics, DJing, and critical listening.
The ATH-M70x features a circumaural, closed-back design that surrounds the ears to provide effective sound isolation in loud environments. Its 90° swiveling earcups support one-ear monitoring, making it practical for DJs, performers, and audio professionals. The fold-flat design helps save space during storage and transportation, while metal components and professional-grade cushioning provide a combination of durability and wearing comfort. The earpads and headband are designed for long-term professional use, with replaceable earpads for convenient maintenance.
Three detachable, single-sided cables provide flexibility across studio, mobile, and home listening applications. The included options comprise a coiled cable extending from 1.2m to 3m, a 3m straight cable, and a 1.2m straight cable. Each cable features a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug with strain relief, and the included screw-on 1/4-inch adapter allows connection to audio interfaces, mixers, and dedicated headphone amplifiers. A carrying case is also included for storage and transport.
