Hey everyone, I am after a high-end pair of portable headphones and have narrowed it down to the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 or the Phiaton MS400. I would really appreciate any feedback as to which headphone would be better (as a whole), and the pros and cons of each. I should also add I'll be...

Hi guys,    So my ES7s recently broke after some mishaps, and now one of the drivers is blown out. I've contacted Audio-Technica and they claim a repair will likely be in the range of $70 (although that's not a guarantee since I'd have to send them in first so they can actually confirm that...

Looking for: Punchy bass, but not over powering (In-game & music – techno/electro/trance/etc) Nice overall quality everywhere else in music. Awesome spatial awareness for footsteps in-game Able to differentiate sounds Must have a comfortable fabric around the ears (wearing glasses) Must be...

So some of you recommended me the es7's. Well did some research and found these AKG's though I wanted to know how they compare with their Highs, mids, and lows. And if the Es-7's are the superior, then where can I get some legitimate ones in the $110 range? Only reason I'm holding back on the...

    So around a year ago, I came to these forums looking for a good set of portable headphones. the ATH-ES7's were recommended to me and I am very happy with their sound quality. One of the issues I have with the headphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear for even short periods of...

I'm looking to buy myself a set of 'phones I can use at home and on the go. What I'd like is good to great sound quality, good looks, and a decent price. Here are a few ideas I've come up with: Grado SR60i's Panasonic RP-HTX7's Audio-Technica SQ5's Creative Aurvana Live!'s...

Well, about 7 months ago I picked up a pair of these after reading reviews from this site. I love 'em! Only problem is that now one of the wires leading to the earpieces is broken. So, now I need to find a different pair of headphones because these are sold out at the place that I usually buy...

I was looking at some threads and not a lot of people seemed to have them at the time, so I figured I'd make an update thread of sorts :P   I'm looking to upgrade back to portable sized headphones from my SE530s... Looking for a bigger soundstage, with a smoother, overall better sound(...

Found the Able Planets at an amazing price of $59.99. They are active noise cancelling. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? If they arent good can you give me any alternatives? Comfort + Isolation along with decent sound is important.   Here is a link to the sale for the...

First of all, I've been browsing this forum for a while. Found a lot of useful information. I'm looking for an entry level headphone, and narrow my choice down to ES7 and SQ5 because of their look and their performance/price ratio based on what I read. I heard many great things about the ES7...

That's about $117.   http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/headphones/22786/Audio+Technica+ATH-ES7+BK+Portable+Headphones.htm   Trustworthy or not?

Hi, this is also my first post here. My current cans are ATH ES7s and I also own PK3s. I was looking to get a pair of IEMs for travel. I'm not interested in a very analytical IEM and bass is not a major concern. I live in Aus and I can get UE superfi.4 for $85 atm. I'm not sure how these...

Thanks

Hey guys, just a quick question. Today I came across a nice picture of ATH-ES7 with very nice cable (mod?) here is the picture I wonder if this a cable mod? Because I recall standard ES7 Cable isn't like this. If so, can anyone enlighthen me where to get such cable? I use my...

Hi   Thanks to this forum I chose the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 (first plan was Bose Around-Ear) for my daily headphones and I absolutely adored them for over a year.   Too bad today I was listening with my phone in my pocket and the wire got stuck behind a doorknob. Now there's something...

Whatup yall?  Very informative forum ya have here, had always scoured this spot in the past when picking out my next pair of headphones.     Still have a pair of A900s I love to death.  Previously owned d60 eggos (didn't fall in love with those), then px100s (loved em), and most recently...

I'm not sure if anyone else saw the sale, but I recently picked up these phones (Creative HQ-1900) on newegg.com for 14.99 shipped. which is a pretty steep discount from the regular 99.99.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826158067   In case there are still crazy...

I'm looking to buy a set of portable headphones (cans, not in-ear) with decent sound quality to wear on the way to school and walking around campus, studying in the library, etc.  so I obviously would like them to be portable, and folding would be a plus (but not necessary). Comfortability is...

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here eheh   I would like to change my headphones, now I use earphones, the ones that come with your phone eheh... Well I'm sick and tired of that type, they annoy my ears, I can't stand them anymore.   So I'd like to buy soon some around-ear...

     After purchasing the es7, I learned that I am a basshead.  At first, I thought that everyone like bass in the beginning and then they have a tendency to move on to something less bassy and neutral.  I'm starting to believe that is not the case for me.       So now I'm asking myself...

I am torn. I know all three have excellent sound but I was just wondering which is better for my music: electro-house, techno etc? I know the ES7 is a headphone and the other two are earphones. The ES7 is a bit more expensive and was wondering if the price difference is justified? If not then...

I just started getting into the audio scene and I am a complete "newbie." The only real audio products I have are the Cowon S9 with my Klipsch image s4, and my Audioengine A2s. As of now I'm looking for a good pair of headphones that would sound great at home and on the go(with the cowon).  ...

Hi, I know that this question comes up again and again, but despite lurking for the last week or so, I can't seem to track down a definite answer.   I currently own a pair of Grado Alessandro MS Ones (thanks to lurking this site), and love them, but need a pair for when I'm out and about. I...

After reading a lot of posts on this forum, I figured it was time I finally joined. I've decided it's time to buy a pair of on-ear headphones after using earbuds (some good ones at that) for the past couple years. I'm looking for a smaller set of on-ear headphones that look good. I've tried the...

Buydig.com is selling brand new ES7's for $60. Buydig has already been confirmed as a reputable seller of ES7's so it seemed like a deal too good to pass up so I bought a pair. However, buydig has only sold refurbished  ES7's before and I don't think they've ever sold brand new pairs. And this...
