I’ve been looking for a good pair of IEMs for on-stage use for the past few years. I wanted something that wasn’t insanely expensive but a bit more affordable. The Audio-Technica ATH-E70 IEMs have really fit the bill for my use. These in-ear monitors have the clarity I need to hear the mix in its raw form. This helps me perform better and gives me, as a musician, exactly what I need to be a better and more productive part of the team.

A premium IEM. The comfort and sound quality make the E70s a serious rival to headphones for many situations.

Compared to other competitors at the same price point, the E70 is more than just a strong performer. The level of detail, combined with deep and articulate bass and that slightly relaxed high end offer a phenomenal sound well-suited for most listening tastes. Of course, if you prefer a brighter sound, look elsewhere. And if you’re looking for tons of detail and a moderately-flat sound, there may be other options available to you. But for everything else, look no further than the Audio Technica ATH-E70.
