What is the primary intended use for the ATH-E70 headphones?

The ATH-E70 headphones are primarily designed for professional stage monitoring and studio mixing due to their accurate sound reproduction and high level of isolation.

How does the noise isolation work on these headphones?

The noise isolation is achieved passively through the high-performance housing design and a secure in-ear fit created by carefully selected eartips, which block ambient sound.

Can I use these headphones for casual music listening?

Yes, while designed for professional use, the ATH-E70's detailed and balanced sound profile makes them excellent for critical everyday music listening.

What types of eartips are included?

The headphones include four sizes of silicone eartips (XS, S, M, L) and one pair of medium Comply™ T500 foam eartips.

Is the cable detachable?

Yes, the ATH-E70 features a detachable 1.6m (5.2') cable with A2DC connectors for durability and ease of replacement.

What is the impedance of the ATH-E70 headphones?

The impedance of the ATH-E70 headphones is 39 Ω.

Do these headphones come with a carrying case?

Yes, a carrying case is included with the Audio-Technica ATH-E70 headphones for convenient storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

No sound from one or both earpieces

Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the earpieces (A2DC connectors) and the audio source. Check that the earpiece is correctly seated on the A2DC connector. Test with a different audio source and device to rule out compatibility or source issues. Clean the A2DC connectors and the audio jack.

Low volume or distorted sound

Check the volume levels on both the audio source and the headphones. Ensure a proper seal is achieved with the eartips; an improper seal can affect bass response and overall volume. Clean the headphone nozzles and eartips for any blockages.

Uncomfortable fit or poor seal

Experiment with the different sizes of silicone eartips (XS, S, M, L) and the included Comply™ foam eartips to find the best fit for your ear canal. Ensure the memory cable is correctly looped over your ears for a secure fit.

Cable buzzing or intermittent audio

Inspect the detachable cable for any visible damage. Ensure the A2DC connectors are clean and properly seated. Try detaching and reattaching the cable. If the issue persists, the cable may need to be replaced.

  • Exceptional sound clarity and detail across all frequencies.
  • Excellent passive noise isolation for focused listening.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with multiple eartip options.

  • Accurate soundstage suitable for professional monitoring and mixing.

Cons

  • Bass can be perceived as very prominent by some listeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your ATH-E70 headphones, first select the eartip size (XS, S, M, L silicone, or M Comply™ foam) that provides the most comfortable and secure seal in your ear canal. Attach the chosen eartips firmly to the headphone nozzles. Connect the detachable 1.6m cable to the A2DC connectors on each earpiece. The other end of the cable features a 3.5mm stereo mini-plug, which can be directly connected to most audio devices. For equipment with a larger jack, use the included 6.3mm (1/4") adapter.

Compatibility: These headphones are compatible with any device featuring a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack or a 6.3mm (1/4") jack via the included adapter. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, audio interfaces, mixers, and Hi-Fi systems.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the earpieces and cable with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Eartips can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
  2. Cable Management: When not in use, store the headphones and cable loosely in the provided carrying case to prevent kinks or damage.
  3. Storage: Keep the headphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  4. A2DC Connectors: Ensure the A2DC connectors are clean and free from debris before attaching the cable.
