Hearing things we've never heard before. We needed t...hese to live mix a contemporary church service, couple of guitars, piano, keyboard, drums, 7 singers. The video stream mix wasn't the same as we heard in the sanctuary speakers. The headphones we had been using were too 'colored' to give us an accurate sound. These fixed that! Now we're getting a good mix, because what we hear in these headphones is what's in the video mix.

They fell lightly from my work station and Landed safel...y on my moccasin yet the join between the ear-cup and the overhead band snapped off completely. I have tried to superglue it but it is attached by a narrow ledge. Very bad design. I am looking for a different brand to replace this one. Great audio quality but a waste of $500 for me!

First off I've had my fair share of high end... head phones, I prefer closed style due to blocking out noise. These are by far some of the best I have owned, they are crisp clear and very neutral, great for listening to high quality files, sound wise I would compare them to the Sony V6 but with a much broader range and a bit clearer. They are more comfortable than my V6's and ath50. Quality wise they are lighter but feel better built than their ATH50 counterparts, a good mix of metal and plastic components. If you have a low quality sound file and or subpar media player it is much more apparent with these than other "colored" headphones. I use these paired with a FIIO X5 gen 2 player, and currently a fiio E06 amp for daily use and love it! The softshell case is a nice feature that they come with, as well as 3 different length cables. They also block outside noise quite well. If your on a small budget and want neutral sound go with the Sony V6 or Audio Technica ATH50X for a slightly warm sound if you have the extra to spend on the ATH-M70X and want nice clear neutral sound go with these you will not be disappointed. I would recommend on any of these to use an headphone amp if you are using with an MP3 player.

The accuracy and detail... of these headphones is remarkable. They're comfortable for long periods and it's particularly nice to have a low enough impedance to not require external amplifiers to reach their incredible 5 - 40,000 Hz response.

I did my homework before buying these over-...ear headphones and eventually decided not to go for pricier OPPO PM-3, for less expensive with boosted bass Sony MDR-1A and for less expensive, but less comfortable ATH-MSR7. ATH-M70X does not have ATH-MSR7 High-Res Audio label, I care less about, but it has highly precise sound. The last, not the least, ATH-M70X has a classic look unlike MDR-1A and ATH-MSR7 with red or blue color rings.
