I'm a Brit too...

In fact i'm only about 20 miles from MK

As to the whole AT thing, I heard a pair of Bangramans ATs (I can't remember the model #) and I wasn't exceptionally impressed... They ARE good in their own right, but are NOT the kind of sound that I am looking for...

Hope they arrive soon mtillman

That would have been the ATH-A900. They do sound a bit distant at first, and as a non Grado fan it would have been natural for you not to like them that much, but it does need a proper listening to, after which you go "ah, that's pretty good". it's definitely not as scratchy as the Grados I've tried.

PS. I got the MDR-7506. wanna compare?

Thanks for the model # Bangraman... I'll have to try and remember that

As to the 7506... only if they sound better than the 7509s

So is the main complaint so far that the EM7 doesn't have really low bass extension? How's the punchiness and impact, as compared to a pair of KSC-35s?

LTUCCI1924:
Would you recommend the ATH-EM7 for use while exercising? I have a feeling the KSC-35s would work better, but they're becoming hard to find...

dhwilkin, the bass reminds me of the bass from the Sony MDR-F1. Fast, clean, transparent, and punchy, but it does not go down very deep, and not as deep as the W100, KSC-50, or MDR-V6. But I think the -50 is muddy, and the V6 has a mid-bass peak.

If anyone still has a working ath-em7 (or the shell body still intact with little to no damage) please message me. I'm willing to pay you $$ for it.
