From Passion for Sound’s’ review of the R70x Refine, first published on August 20th, 2024:

"From the moment I plugged these in, they've never failed to impress (at their price). The sound is balanced and natural. They're easily one of the most spacious and best-imaging $300 headphones I've tried. At their price, they're absolutely phenomenal." 

From Joshua Valour’s review of the R70x Refine, first published on August 13th, 2024:

“The note separation, the sound stage, the depth, the midrange purity, the tone and timbre, the easy-going nature, the affordable price point…there’s a lot of value here."

From Forever Analog’s review of the R70x Refine, first published on September 6th, 2024:

"The Refine really shines in the midrange, with a full sound that instantly hooked me. I was skipping from track to track, trying to find a song where these headphones would let me down and they just never did."  -Forever Analog
