Build your own Apos x Audio-Technica R70x Refine The Apos x Audio-Technica R70x Refine may be sold out, but its special ingredient is back. These Refine ear pads—internally developed by Audio-Technica engineers—were the biggest difference between the original ATH-R70x and the Apos x Refine edition.

Thicker, softer, and subtly tuned for warmth, they’re now available on their own. Grab a pair, slip them onto an original R70x, and make your own Refine.

Thicker pads built for the long haul The Refine ear pads are thicker than the originals and made with soft velour that’s gentle on your ears. They spread out pressure and soften the clamp—small changes that add up when you’re hours deep into a listening session.

Warmth where it counts The thicker pads shift the tuning just a hair warmer and fuller, without crowding out the detail or hurting the soundstage. The character of the original R70x stays intact, but there’s a little more body to the bass and a little more roundness to the mids.

Dave the Honest Audiophile Gadgetry Tech Wave Theory Troy Walker Christian Tanimoto, III Brendyn Chao Nick Hutchins Special Thanks Head-Fi Forum FAQs Are these pads compatible with the R50x? They're somewhat compatible with the R50x.

They fit, just not as securely as with the R70x line. They can be rotated/shifted once installed, which isn't ideal.

Are they compatible with the R30x? No.

They fit, technically, but they're extremely loose. We wouldn't recommend them.
