Yes, exactly that one.

But if you can opt for an open-back (that is if you don't want to use it outside or indoors next to other people), I would definitely recommend the R70x over the TH610. It will most probably sound way better and be way more comfortable (although that of course is a matter of taste). And it costs only half of the TH610.

Yea I don't mind using open-back ones.

Will check the ATH-R70x then. Thanks for the info.

I found the R70x for $250. Any idea why it is $100 cheaper?

Unfortunately I am not familiar with US prices because I am from Europe. But if it is a discount and tax not included, $250 does not sound that crazy cheap, so I would not guess that it's a scam judging from the price alone. But you should still make sure you're not buying from a scammer, I cannot guarantee you anything. But if it's directly from Amazon / from a reputable seller / or if you have buyer protection, you should be fine.
