Audio-Technica ATH-R70x

The Audio-Technica ATH-R70x are great for neutral sound. They have a warm sound profile that gives audio some extra fullness, as well as a well-balanced mid-range that accurately reproduces vocals and lead instruments. While their open-back design creates an open and natural-feeling soundstage, their small ear cups may not be the most comfortable if you have larger ears. Their high impedance also means you'll need a powerful-enough amp to get the most out of them.
