Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Headphones [Posted on 2008-06-14]
Read about these in Sam's Space, Stereophile. They cost one fourth of the highly rated AKGs but are well worth the price and sound amazing. Try them on your ipod, you won't believe how great they sound even compared to some very expensive Shures. They really sound best through a good headphone amp. Comfortable but you probably need a good size noggin for them. I can't say enough about their build and, of course, their AWESOME sound. A nice touch is the multiple screw on 1/4" and 1/8" inputs. A+++
Almost perfect headphones with a few unforgivable flaws [Posted on 2008-07-26]
Pros:
High quality build, good connector (1/8-inch with 1/4 inch adapter), long cord (but doesn't really tangle or get in your way), lightweight design, comfortable on your head, good sound quality (I'm not an expert on this part though).
Cons:
The headphones are designed to easily expand to the size of your head without putting much pressure on your ears. The problem is that you need a very wide head to even fit the minimum size. If you don't the headphones will slip off if you move. The have a very loose fit on my head and so there was absolutely no chance of using this with my portable music player. The bass is weak, but I have read elsewhere that it gets better once you break them in for 100 hours (I don't know for sure though). Also, the headphones have a lot of noise leakage. If you have the headphones turned to a comfortable listening level, anyone in the room will be able to hear the songs you listen to as well. They offer next to no noise attenuation.
Conclusion:
DON'T GET THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VERY WIDE HEAD!
Great Cans! [Posted on 2008-08-24]
These really are for big heads! I am very satisfied with their comfort and sound.
Great sound, large, weird color choices [Posted on 2008-08-26]
I have been using these headphones for about a full month now for mainly gaming and music. So far they perform superbly and actually worked amazingly well before I bought a new sound card to enhance them. They sound even better now but not enough to justify a $100 sound card purchase. It took about a week to get used to the largeness of the headphones since I have a thin head but they adjusted quite quickly. My only gripe with these headphones is that they look dorky with their gold and purple color design. Who picks those colors for headphones, honestly?! It may have royal colors but they don't really look good with a black case, black monitor, black mouse, and so forth. Just stupid. Oh, they seem super sturdy and I've almost tossed them around a bit and them haven't cracked or made any sign of breaking. The flexibility to them probably has a lot to do with that.
Defintely a good buy and I don't regret the purchase but the color scheme is awful in conjunction with other parts of your computer. Oh, I upgraded from some $60 sony headphones that I bought from 2003 and it was night and day in comparison when wearing these, fyi.
