Okay, this isn't terribly essential, nor is it a real mod. One of the big drawbacks that some people seem to have with the ES7 is that it looks simply goofy on heads. My experience with the ATH-ES7 quickly corroborated this concern. I mean.. they're beautiful-looking headphones when they're...

Hi all,   I just signed up yesterday. I heard about your wonderful site from a friend who is essentially an evangelical of this community. For the past two days I have heavily searched the site looking for some information. While I narrowed down my choices, I would sure appreciate any help...

Which of the two would sound better without amp?

Sorry that I had to start one of these threads but I couldn't find anything on here. I'm looking for some headphones (not in -ear) that are of quality. Only problem is that I want white (possibly silver, but only if they look like gun metal color) headphones under $110, good quality and are...

Where and why I bought the Audio Technica ATH-ES7 Where - I bought mine here, at J&R Electronics for $99. Since I bought mine a few months ago the price has dropped to $89 which is a real bargain for these headphones. J&R only ships to the US & Canada however. If you live in the US and attempt...

Let me start by saying I am not interested in the ATH M50's, I'm not a fan of lots of boomy bass which I have heard is present in these. (Had to make that clear since every thread that mentions $100 they come up lol).   I like a sound similar to my RE0's, neutral, accurate fast bass...

Well, I've been thinking of replacing my crumbling HD555s that I've been using for 3 some years. Mainly, I listen to Game music (soundtracks, touhou, OCremix), Electronic music and Classical/Orchestral music with some J-Pop mixed in. What I want from the headphones would be 1. Good for the...

A few points for consideration:   I like my Grado SR80s, but I need a set to listen to in bed while my wife snoozes next to me.   The Grados are a tad bit harsh on the top even with the EF2 tube amp. I'd like something with a bigger soundstage (wider and deeper), as well as better...

I posted this in the general board, but I think this belongs here. Apple's headphones are crap and make my ears hurt pretty bad. I want good headphone that are comfortable and under $100. That's pretty much it. I'll probably prefer over the top headphones. I have an ipod touch, so portable...

Looking for a pair of portables to go with my Cowon S9 for biking and skateboarding. Top priorities are durability, comfort and sound quality. Comfort is great, but not at the cost of them falling off my head, so stability is big.       What would you recommend?  

Hello all. I purchased the ATH-ES7's on Ebay a few weeks ago after hearing my brother's set he got for his birthday. I saw a great deal on Ebay and jumped on it without doing any prior research. I received them a couple of days ago and the sound quality was horrible. I reviewed some old threads...

So I finally got the ATH-ES7 a few days ago. I burned it for one night, but when I listened to it again, there was some very obvious static in the background that I could hear... When I burned it the volume was what I normally listen at, and I'm positive these are not fakes. Can someone help...

After seeing images of the ath-es7, I became hooked. But after ordering a pair from buydigi.com for 49.99 and finding out they're on backorder was a huge let down :(. I wanted to ask is this website (salestores.com) a legit deal? Electric expo was sold out as well they had them for 68.10...

I'm a complete newbie in headphones. I'm into music( i listen to all genre, from soft classical to chaotic metal but mostly i'm listening to Kpop...Got addicted to the voice of the girls in 'Girls' Generation aka SNSD') and i wanted a pair of better headphones so i need some advice and...

Hello,   I've accidently tore up some strings from my Audio-Technica ES7 (I was running and it got caught in something =/). Anyways, I went to a shop and asked if they could repair them and they said they would just sew the cables back together, but the technician called me today and said...

Hey, this is my first second post, and I've read roughly 50+ pages of discussion, review, and the occasional bose/beats hating on this forum, but it's hard to find a good comparison/choose a good pair even with all that reading. I've preordered the Envy 17 with "beats audio," and according to...

Hey, I know there's a lot of threads, I read a lot of them, but I didn't find the precise thread I wanted. So here we go: Parisian girl (yeah, that matters :) looking for an awesome sound but colourful/stylish headphones. I'm looking for closed ones, since I'm wearing them all the time...

Please :) Here's what I've got lined up so far:   Closed: 1. AKG K271 MKII 2. Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 3. Sennheiser HD25-II 4. Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 5. Audio-Technica ATH-M50   Open: 1. Grado SR225 2. Sennheiser HD595   No amp, will use on my Marantz CD player, laptop...

first id like to start by saying hello to everyone on here. Its my first  posting here and just had a few questions. last night i did some reading because i was looking for new headphones and i stumbled upon this forum, and since i am a strong believer in forums for learning i thought id sign up...

Hey guys, I was wondering what you think are the best speakers for around $100 that I can connect to my apple PowerBook G4 laptop that sound similar to the audio technica ES7 headphones(somewhat frontal mids, nice bottom end and slightly sparkly highs)?

Hi, I'm new here, and I was seeing if a casual listener who appreciates great sound like me could get some audiophile advice. I recently bought Sony MDR-V700DJ's, and I am highly disappointed in them. They sound like my $20 Sony IEM's, which sound good, but not nearly as good as I needed for...

hey guys iv had my ath es7 for almost a year now and i love em.   but somehow the wire on the left is messing up.. i have to move it around so itll work but its getting worse.. ima try and fix it first but idk how that will go..   but whats a good replacement for these, or an upgrade for...

Greetings! As an owner of the wonderful ATH-ES7, I've seen so many threads going on about people wondering where to buy a real pair of these or how to find out what a fake pair of ES7 looks like. I thought about doing two things with this thread. The first, show the various pictures that...

Is the sound quality for ES7 good ?? It costs 159usd, and its the most expensive portable headphones. Does it worth the buy? I need reviews on people who have used it. Thank you !

Hey guys. Like many of you, I own the ES7 headphones by Audio Technica. When you get them, you will find that the headband is bent in a weird way that makes the headphones look weird on you as well as making them more uncomfortable. There was another thread on this, but I figured I would start...
