MUMBAI: Audio-Technica launched a new line of headphones in their M-Series line of headphones called ATH-M70x Professional Monitor Headphones. According to the company, they have been designed specifically to bring out added detail in the mix.

The ATH-M70x professional monitor headphones feature proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice coils and are tuned to accurately reproduce extreme low and high frequencies (5 to 40,000 Hz) while maintaining perfect balance. Featuring a rugged, metal design, they aspire to be ideal for studio mixing and tracking, FOH, DJ use, personal listening, mastering, post production and audio forensics.

The headphones have been crafted for lasting durability with a collapsible, space-saving design, and are equipped with 90 degree swivelling ear cups for easy, one-ear monitoring. Maximum power input is 2000 mW, meaning very low distortion at even high volumes. Professional-grade earpads and headband provide excellent durability and comfort, and detach for easy replacement. With a circumaural design, the headphone contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments, as claimed by the company. They come with three standard interchangeable cables (1.2 m - 3.0 m coiled cable, 3.0 m straight cable and 1.2 m straight cable) and a hard carrying case.

The Closed-back dynamic ATH-M70x has a driver diameter of 45 mm, a Neodymium magnet with a maximum input power of 2000 mW at 1 kHz. The ATH-M70x carries a sensitivity of 97 dB and an impendence of 35 ohms. It weighs 280 g, without cable and connector, and has three detachable cables, one 1.2 m - 3.0 m (3.9' - 9.8'), the other 3.0 m (9.8') and the last 1.2 m (3.9').

Audio Technica's M-Series professional monitor headphones are aimed at delivering accurate audio and outstanding comfort, perfect for long sessions in the studio and on the go. Contoured ear cups are said to seal tight for excellent sound isolation, with minimal bleed.

Audio-Technica's ATH-M70x Professional Monitor Headphones will be available May 2015 at the price of Rs 22,999.
