Can someone compare MSR7 to Soundmagic HP150, Beyerdynamic DT770 & Yamaha MT-220, please?
 
Thanks in advance

I'm selling my MSR7, if anyone is looking for one at used pricing: http://www.head-fi.org/t/774834/fs-audio-technica-ath-msr7-black

I guess I missed out on all the love/hate/hype of these things, but I just got my hands on a set this past week. I was a big fan of the CKR9 and these give me the same feeling. The highs are brighter and the lows aren't as deep but that detail, cleanliness, and realism is like falling in love all over again. These are a definite big recommendation from me if you like the AT house sound and want something that's near reference while still being fun AND analytical.

No, I don't have any problem with treble of MSR7

Nor do I - regardless of genre.

Asr how comes you are selling your pair after your positive impressions?

 

[Asr]

^ My positive opinion of the MSR7 hasn't changed, and I'd like to keep them, but I'm at a point where I could use the money from selling them.

If anyone has trouble with the drivers touching and irritating their big ears like I did, a half inch thick three inch long roll of paper towel takes care of it. Widens the image a tad but otherwise doesn't change the sound and helps with the drivers pressing against the ears.

I just bought these "new" from Amazon, but I'm not so sure they are actually brand new...
 
 
Does the outer box come with any kind of factory seal?  Mine didn't have one, the insides looked fairly well packed but the cables didn't look well organized in the interior box. 
 
Thanks for any comments, especially on the seal

I let you know mine is coming

  I let you know mine is coming

Thanks please do.  I just got off the phone with Amazon and they offered me $45 off, so I took it, provided nothing is wrong with them functionally.  Will test tonight and tomorrow

No, there's no seal. Just the outer sleeve and inner box. Cables are in a plastic bag or in the case, or both; can't remember. But no, there's no seal. Sounds to me like you got a new one. Mine was bought new in an electronics shop and was packed the same way.

No seal anywhere on mine. The cables are in a zip lock bag like. I have brought many headphones in the past and I am sure you got a new one as well since it was Amazon stock  not third party and shipped from Amazon. Customer returns are handle by Amazon Marketplace and listed as used by Amazon. You got a good discount. Another way of getting a discount is to order this headphone as a  Japan import and save $31 if you do not mind waiting at least a month for it on Amazon.
I got a refund when I got my HE400 planner and since it was on a closeout and Amazon lowered the price shortly after I brought them and I complain and got a $40 back from the price difference. Great Amazon customer service.

Already listening to the MSR7 and it is a very unique sounding headphone. I am using my IFI Retro amp with a slight one click treble cut until the headphone are broken in a bit and I will remove the treble cut. I do this with many new headphones since I wanted to listen right away. Already comparing the MSR7 with the headphones I have and ran into a few things that I was not excepting. I will write a review later on and will try on my OPPO HA-1 next.

Thanks for the replies about the seal. Mine were definitely used to some extent tho. There was a white mark on an ear pad, they weren't sitting flush in the fabric holder, and 2 of the cables were not in bags and strewn about that interior box, with the carry bag bunched up. Everything seems fine functionally though so I took the partial refund.

Oh, also it was a third party seller, but it came from the USA and was "fulfilled by Amazon" for what it's worth. Originally 220 (now 175 "used") but did consider a Japanese import just didn't want to wait
