What ATH-R70xa owners say

I listened to a bunch of highly rated headphones at the last CanJam in NYC and none of them made me want to upgrade from the R70xa.

I got the r70xa as well, but had to get a new amp to give it more juice to make it sing. But man, being so light i hardly reach for my other cans now and using these as daily drivers.

it has this really arfticial, unnatural sound to it that's neither analytic nor is it a smooth, rich entertaining sound

What Momentum 4 Wireless owners say

Thats unfortunate. I've been using mine for about 2 and a half years daily, and the only problem I've had is the earpads deteriorated and I had to get replacements.
