The Audio-Technica ATH-R70x is legendary, so the bar is quite high with their latest offerings. In this video I compare the new R70xa headphone to the older R70x, the R70x Refine, and many others. I also cover the new ATH-R50x, a headphone I think will be very popular in the entry to mid level space! I include measurements, gaming performance, comfort, and more, with chapters below.
