I was looking for loud, very good isolating headphones having wide frequences response to use at my work. I currently use DT770/80 + Matrix M-Stage + replaced OPAMs. It gives me a very good quality, but isolation and loudness is not as I expected. At home I have Sens HD380 + Recon 3d for gaming. For music I use Fiioe17 + AKG550.
So I decided to buy ATH-PRO700MK2 to check out if I can use it with Matrix at work. You know.... loud metal music with no complains from my fellows at work...
My 1st impresssion was: is it broken ? After using of HD380s, I though these cans can simply squeeze my head. But with ath-700mk2's... boy, I was able to listen no more then 25 minutes of music, ufff... :
- earpads cover 80% of my ears - I have to use my hands to put my ear to be covered by earpad....
- the headphones simply squeezes my head... the spring is so tight
- I was not able to use it for longer then 20-30 minutes...
BUT... THE SOUND IS REALLY GOOD. Excellent dynamics, low/middles/highs perfectly suit to rock/metal music. Loudness is excellent.
Now I have schizophrenic recommendation: sound is perfect, comfort is much lower then having 2 weeks trip in 1st World War submarine... I will leave the headphones in the most spread position for 1-2 nigths... I will see.
PS: I am quite a guy (185cm/96kg), having a feeling of squeezed and hurt head somehow contradics the picture of those very attractive girls wearing ath's700mk2 and having a ear-to-ear smile.
