Audio Technica ATH-AD500s - a superior value! [Posted on 2007-06-07]
I was unable to find any useful information anywhere online to help me decide if the Audio Technica ATH-AD500s were anywhere near as good as the highly acclaimed and considerably more expensive ATH-AD700s. The specs (except for impedance) are comparable and these are discounted to within a few dollars of the cheaper ATH-AD300s. So I decided to take a chance. They are extremely comfortable, appear and feel durable, and sound great even with my low-power desktop stereo system. They are very large, open, over-the ear, with velour-covered cups, and they deliver a big, clear, spacious sound without overbearing bass. Plenty loud, I suspect they'd work with a portable, but because of their size you won't want to wear them on any outings.
I'm still breaking them in, but so far I'm extremely pleased!
May your decision be easier than mine was!
A high end look with way too much high end. [Posted on 2007-09-03]
From a distance these things have the look of well crafted head phones.
Up close it's easy to see that they are cheaply made.
Bottom line: Way too much high end. Its distracting and sometimes painfull. I've heard sounds more true to reference from headphones that are a third the price. Save up a little more cash, do some research, and get the real deal.

I was expecting a quality product when I ordered these headphones, but I was still surprised and thrilled when I put them on and listened to some of my favorite music. I am now hearing sounds and instruments that before were not as distinguishable. Also, using these headphones while watching movies gives the same surround feeling as in a theater. I'm very impressed and can't believe I got such a good piece of audio equipment for such a reasonable price!
