Audio-TechnicaAD700X High-Fidelity Open-Back Headphones Black

These things have lasted me for over a decade and are still going with excellent sound.

for music:the first few songs i was not impressed, felt like returning... few more songs later and experimenting with sound settings they actually have such detailed sound its almost painful to listen at times.for gaming:instantly impressed, they have insane accuracy in panning direction and you can also tell how far away the sound is coming from! like real life but more reliable?they are also capable of buttery bass if you boost it. going back to other headphones sounds awful (some £110 bluetooth over-ear senheisers i bought in a physical store 4 years ago)... beware.definitely at-home use only, unless its good weather and you only want a walk.i paid £150 for these which feels fair enough.

comfortable, sound clarity, everything you would want and at an acceptable price, one problem as mentioned in other reviews, the wire will wear down.both at the headphone themselves and at the jack. They've only ever been connected to a PC, not been travelling or moving around etc.The wire rubber seems to have failed under it's own weight and it is a long hefty wire.If you're going to purchase these I suggest not allowing any unnecessary slack to weigh down and twist the cable

I was a bit sceptical at first. I wasn't sure if I was wasting money as I had already a pretty decent pair of headphones that everyone I knew who listened through them where impressed . And when I first started using them I was pretty disappointed. They sounded flat to me and some mids where too loud for me. Then I kept using them and burned them in and adjusted to them myself. And they still didn't seem that great. Just a good pair of headphones. Then I used my older headphones and it was day and night. My older pair sounded muddy and unclear and really closed in and just wasn't enjoyable to listen through anymore these made them sound like a 5 pound headphone in comparison. I love these.

I use it for music production and mixing and I love it. However, I found that without proper EQ, it doesn't sound as good as I expected. That's why I use the EqMac app, where I found EQ settings by Oratory and Rtings. It helps me to find a balance in the mix. Additionally, I have Audio Technica M50x and I use it with the AD700X to find a nice balance between stage presence and balance in the mix.

Very good headphones for gaming as they have very low bass. Especially if you play FPS games you can hear footsteps clearly & pinpoint enemy spots. Can't recommend highly enough.

If you have a small head or even a regular head size this might not fit you well unless you make some small modifications. As far as sound quality goes it great especially if you have a sound card. The dual wing support is a joke they are far too weak to hold the headphones up most people use the rubber band mod to fix this issue. In my case i slightly bent the top support since the headphone dont have pivots so it does put a lot of pressure right under your ears. as far as comfort goes it is terrible when used without any adjustments (stock) sound quality is great it also has a huge sound stage which makes it great for gaming paired with a 5.1 sound card these headphones are top notch. They are also ridiculously light i remember picking up the parcel it felt like i was carrying an empty box.TL:DR who ever designed these headphones should go kill themselves but as far as sound quality goes its really good.

Unless you want to pay to have a new cable soldered onto these headphones within a few years, do not purchase.
