In this week’s video episode of The Pro Audio Suite, AP's got his ears on the new Audio-Technica R70xA headphones, and the team dives into a full-blown can convo. He shares his first impressions after two weeks of use — lightweight, comfy, and eerily similar in tone to the Hi-X65s. But how do they really stack up against other studio staples like the KRKs, Austrian Audio Hi-X55s and 65s, Sennheiser HD280s, and even some vintage Audio-Technica ATH2s? From comfort and design quirks (hello magnetic straps and mystery cables) to 470-ohm impedance madness, gear abuse stories, and which cans sound great but feel like a head clamp, this is one juicy headphone shootout. Bonus: George nerds out on impedance math, Robert gets officially certified as “professional grade,” and an AKG suffers a tragic fate at VO Atlanta...R70xA Headphones – Worth the Hype?
