The volume and on/off controls are also easily accessible. The mic and controller support most smartphones as well as select products including the iPhone™, iPad® and many iPod® models.

The ATH-ANC70 is redesigned to provide total long-wearing comfort. The diameter of the ear cups has been increased for a more comfortable over-ear fit, and the ear cups have a slimmer profile.

Like all QuietPoint models, the ATH-ANC70 offers superior noise-cancellation performance and audio quality. The headphonesʼ large 40 mm drivers and high-quality internal components deliver clear, detailed sound with impactful bass, a natural midrange, extended treble and precise imaging in an immersive sound field.
