I tested about 8 sets of 'phones in the $400-1000 range (see image), including AKG, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Fancy Planars, etc. and selected these based on a mix of best sound and most comfortable. I use correction filter software (Sonarworks), and these also needed the least tuning of all. My only negative is the cable and plugs, which are difficult to replace. If you want open-backs, these are them.
This product sounds amazing if you're going to buy any headphone but THIS you won`t regret it
Several months ago I bought a pair of the ATH-R70x headphones because I was going to spend 2 months traveling India and I wanted to be able to mix while I was traveling without dragging my Genelec 8020s all over the country. The clarity and frequency response of these headphones is incredible. They are so comfortable that I can spend 3-8 hours mixing music without getting any symptoms of ear fatigue. I initially thought when I opened them up and held them for the first time that they were going to break because the swivel joints looked so frail - but lo and behold they are constructed of such strong and light materials that after 2 months of deserts, dangerous bus rides, and other perils they are the same now as they were when I bought them - so the build quality is top notch. There are only 2 things buyers need to be aware of when purchasing a pair of ATH-R70x headphones: 1) The ohm impedance is such that these headphones are quiet if you are just plugging them into your laptop's headphone jack and if you are somewhere with some ambient noise (like a cafe) they may be too quiet to work with so you'll want have some kind of audio interface or DAC that will amplify them to a more appropriate level (and no, putting a utility on your master channel and cranking it isn't going to give you the clarity you need with the amplification you've achieved - use a sound card or a DAC). 2) These need to be used with Sonarworks Reference 4 to "truly" achieve a flat frequency response. Before I used Reference 4 I was finding that when I would mix on the R70x's and then check them on the Genelecs the high frequencies would be too harsh and the low end would be lacking - after mixing with Reference 4 I have no problems when I jump on the Genelecs - everything sounds as good on the Genelecs as they do on the R70x's! Long story short: These are great, I recommend them to everyone who needs to do critical mixing on the road. These will last a LONG time and oh my, they sound great

I have the closed back version too which are the ATH M70X; which is a lot easier to drive them without an amp. Both the open and closed back are great cans that I would put up against cans that cost 4 times as much. I have the Beyerdynamics T-1; T-5 second gen. and the Senn. H.D. 800. I audio Tech ATH R70x and the open ATH M70m are great too. Both are really great sounding with all kinds of music.. The ATH m70x closed are used in forensic investigation because of how clear they are. Again, the ATH M70x are a lot easier to drive without an amp. The ATH R7-x needs an amp because its rated at 470 ohms to drive them. However, I drive them well with a fiios 12 amp rated at 300 ohms. I also have audio Tech. top of the line wood cans too! I really like these just as much.
I have had the R70x for about six months now, so definitely past the honeymoon period (audiophile wise). That is the primary reason for holding off on a review until now. It is very easy to get excited over a new product and write a gushing review; been guilty of that myself. This headphone's main strength is a neutral, yet non-fatiguing presentation. Bass is relatively flat, but has the ability to punch when called for IF properly driven. I usually drive these with a Schiit Valhalla OTL tube amp as it mates well with the 470 ohm impedance. They do want power, but I usually listen at somewhat louder ( I'd like to say realistic) levels. Neutral midrange with neither too forward or distant vocals. Upper treble might be somewhat rolled off, especially compared to my Beyerdynamic DT1770, DT1350 cans, but those tend to be brighter (and fatigue sooner). I feel the soundstage is very good and has some airiness to it. Not as wide as the now gone AKG Q701, but better in all other aspects. I did feel the stock pads were a tad small and just a little rough. I have replaced them with the Shure 1540 alcantara pads. More comfy with minimal change in sound signature. They are the most comfortable headphone I have had. I fiddle less with the fit than all previous cans. I've gone through many headphones in the past few years ( much to my wife's chagrin). But this one might finally be a keeper. In fact, it's the first can I've thought about buying again for a backup, but as soon as I do that AT will probably come out with a successor :/ In conclusion, highly recommended.
Probably the best you're gonna get at this price point. These are stunningly clear. They have a high impedance so you will need a high quality headphone amp to get the best out of them. If anything I would say they are ever so slightly dipped in the mid range but not nearly enough to be noticeable by most users.
I brought these home, put on one of my tracks and half way through had to check if my Adam A7x Monitors were on or off, it sounds that good. I actually thought the Adams had to be on in the background. I can see these being my new go to cans. I just shelved my AKG712's

Very responsive staff! Something happened along the way and they switched the tracking number. I never got the 2nd tracking number from Walmart. Emailed them and they emailed me with the new tracking number. The next day as promised. I got the product and Its the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned.
