With lightweight construction, these open-air headphones offer a completely natural listening experience.

This review is from: Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Audiophile Headphones (Electronics) Yup, it's purple, and beige. It also has wings! Well those are for comfort; and homie, they are comfortable. However, if you do have a "smaller" head, your ears may touch the inner part where the driver is located. This can cause pain similar to a papercut after some time (maybe an hour). If you check my Head-Fi profile, there is a way that you can mod the phones so that the ears don't touch the driver offering the ultimate in comfort. It essentially takes a half-piece of earpad material and is applied to the upper sphere of the stock AD700 pads. This is a matter of simple physics in that it reduces the angle of the phones when worn. This also alleviates the lower-jaw pressure build that some may experience as well. Nonetheless, when I received the Audio Technica AD700's, I chuckled a bit when I plugged it into my receiver for a movies/games test. I was thinking...these couldn't sound better than my Beyerdynamic DT770 pros, could they? LOL, yeah right...Read more 87 of 93 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Audiophile Headphones (Electronics) I recently just recieved these pairs of headphones after a couple weeks of research. After truly starting to get into music and trying to get the most out of my cd's (without putting up a loan) I started looking within the 100-200 price range. I stumbled upon 3 major choices: ATH AD-700, Sennheiser HD-555 and Sennheiser HD-595. First, price was a big issue for me.... I didnt want to spend too high on the headphones, and the HD-595's were quite expensive, but I went to my local audio store and really felt that the 595's put up an overall better sound than the 555's. The soundstage was also amazing for both, but again, the 595's were superior. The Audio Technicas however, was compared first to the 555's and I already amazed by the difference. They achieved far better tone in each note, and was able to go much "higher" and "lower" than the 555's making the Sennheisers almost seem flat. When compared to the 595's, it was definitely more difficult to...Read more 90 of 99 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Audiophile Headphones (Electronics) These are very comfortable. The headphones are big. They fit completely over the ears rather than on the ears. They earpads are made of a soft fabric that feels like velour. The frame of the headphone is a magnesium alloy and the outside of the earcup is aluminum. The wires to the individual earcup appear to be hidden inside the frame of the headphones. I think it makes it less likely that they will somehow be pulled, stretched to cause a short. I mention this because I have read in a number of customer reviews that after a short period of time, one side of the headphones shorts out. Perhaps this will be less likely. These headphones like most of the Audio-Technica headphones currently being marketed have these "wings" that A-T designed to give you the feeling that the headphones float on your head. The phones fit very lightly and are very comfortable. What I cannot say is whether the "wings" will be fragile if dropped. They look as though they might be fragile. Only...Read more |
