User Reviews: Audio Technica ATH-AD700

Pros: Excellent imaging, decent detail, relatively neutral, good soundstage, FREAKISHLY COMFORTABLE!!!!
Cons: A little bass-light, can be somewhat harsh/tinny depending on source
Cons: A little bass-light, can be somewhat harsh/tinny depending on source
This is usually my recommendation for newbies looking for open shells in this price range. They are easy to drive, with excellent imaging and good detail, reasonably neutral reproduction and they are, simply put, THE most comfortable headphones on the planet (the only disclaimer being that the two ladies with smaller heads I recommended these to said they were a little too big). You hardly even notice that you're wearing them. I could work for these for hours. As I noted in the cons, they can feel a little harsh/tinny in the mid-highs and high registers, depending on the source. They're pretty easy to drive as well, I think these are some of the least amp-sensitive open shells I know of. What these are NOT is a basshead's dream. The bass is pretty weak and they don't really have the kind of "oomph," as it were, to make them suitable for anything other than music listening. That said, for the likes of Jazz or Classical, they're an excellent choice. Oh, and did I mention they are freakishly comfortable?

Pros: COMFORTABLE
Cons: low impedance
Cons: low impedance
I've owned a long string of very cheap headphones (bose earbuds fall in this category because of how bassy they are, and the plug falling apart) so i started to upgrade my sound system. Headphones first.
I did about four days worth of research (including lurking on this site) until i decided i could get the most bang for my buck with the ATH-AD700's.
They came, i listened to them all the way through burn-in and absolutely love them. Some nay-sayers think there's not enough bass, but i'll have to disagree; there's plenty.
Next upgrade on the list is a new cartridge for my turntable. I'm excited to hear the differences between my old cartridge and my new cartridge with my AD700's in the near future.

Pros: Transparency, low distortions
Cons: Sounds bright
Cons: Sounds bright
These headphones are great but you will need to be willing to EQ them to get best most natural sound.
Itself they're ok but a bit on the bright side.
See measured response below. I've posted the correction here:
