Audio-Technica ATH-EM7 GM Adjustable Aluminum Clip-On Headphones

It is important to know what your getting into when buying headphones. These headphones are clip-on style headphones which are not for everyone. If you are looking for headphones that are like cup/cans yet can fit in your pocket clip-ons are a good choice for you. Although if you wear glasses clip-ons might not work for you, ear buds might suit your portable needs. So, just make sure clip-ons are right for you before you even think about these headphones.

I have glasses and clip-ons do work for me, but the ATH-EM7s do seem to be a bit more of a bother with my eyeglasses than other clip-ons, just a minor bother really.

Anyway, these are great sounding headphones. I used to have a pair of sony MDR-Q22 headphones, and after getting the ATH-EM7s I realized the amount of clarity of sound I was missing. It is like getting new eyeglasses for your ears. The break down of the headphones:

This is my second set of Audio Technica headphone. The ATH-EM7 has the sound familiar to Audio Technica fans; excellent clarity over all frequency ranges, but lacking on bass. This is surprising given the 28mm drivers. The headphones are smaller than expected, and very, very lightweight -I have ear buds that feel heavier. The clips are very comfortable for extended listening, but because of that, I don't think they would be good for working out, as the clips don't hold quite tight enough for strenuous activities. I think these headphones are optimal for classical listening, but are still well suited for everything shy of heavy metal or bass booming hip hop.

Just got them out of the package the other day. I listen to allot of music and I have something of a fidelity fetish. These head phones are magnificently crafted. They are so light that you hardly notice they are on. They are extremely comfortable. I had an old pair of Sony clip-ons that I used to wear prior to these, but I could always feel where they pulled and rubbed. I suppose you get used to it after a time, but with these you don't have to. As for sound they are clear and powerful. If you have never owned a nice pair of head-phones and would like a nice mid range choice these are it. I would put them above Sony any day.
