    Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 50 years, introduces the
    ATH-R70x Professional Open-Back Reference Headphones. The ATH-R70x is Audio-Technica’s
    first professional open-back reference headphone, joining the new ATH-M70x in A-T’s flagship
    professional headphone lineup. Featuring Audio-Technica’s comfortable, self-adjusting 3D Wing
    Support Headband Design that adapts to automatically fit any wearer with no need for adjustment,
    the R70x also has breathable fabric ear-pads, providing prolonged comfort for continuous use
    in professional environments. The proprietary driver unit, specially designed for the R70x,
    is the culmination of over 40 years of headphone design and manufacturing experience.
