Rare to hear audiophiles mention Audio-Technica nowadays in my experience, but I will have to look into those!

The Audio Technica r70x is still quite popular here.

Indeed! To me, it's one of the best closed back company out there but i know it's not a popular opinion among audiophiles. The m50x were overhyped but they are not that bad. I liked the sound but the comfort was not for me. Msr7b sounds better and are more comfy. This weekend i also tried the ATH-WP900 and the ATH-AWAS at the Audio-Tech boot of the Audiofest. They are both really awesome headphones but the WP900 really impress me. Incredibly lightweight, portable and great, great sound. Gorgeous looks too. Definitely my second choice of the weekend after the Meze Liric.

Hard to find the proper love for WP-900 here. They have a good following on forum somewhere can't remember but it's there. But not on reddit. True portable higher end cans.
