We’ve got a lot of time for the RE70s’ retro styling; the brown-and-white colour combination looks great.
The earpads are comfortable, but can make your ears warm over time.
These headphones’ rich, full-bodied sound is extremely likeable, although it can make bass sound a tad sluggish.
They leak barely any noise, though.
