Well, first off the comfort. They are very comfortable. At first they were slightly tight on my head (at least compared to my old sony v600s). This soon passed and now I can barely tell they are on my head.

The size is a little large, but Im not going to be using these in public. For a home computer, or an electric drum kit these are great.

The sound is very crisp, clear and these can get very loud. On the other hand, the bass is overpowering. I have to turn the bass on my computer/system below default/50%. Besides the bass, the sound is great. If the bass wasnt as strong, the rest of the sounds would sound even better. It feels like there is a mini sub woofer in these things. For the price they rock, so it gets a 5. I miss the old v600’s though.

I was able to try the Audiotechnica A700 and the A900 at a store the other day using my ipod and while I would say the A900 is the best of the two, I ended up with the A700 at 60 dollars cheaper than the A900.

I would say the difference between the A900 and the A700 is that the A700 has a slightly thinner midrange but similar bass. In the end, I could not justify the A900. Both of the headphones are well built with the same dimensions so you get the same comfort with either of them.

I upgraded to the A700 from a pair of Sony D66 and I would say I am pleased with the improvement.

Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 Reviews

These headphones are excellent, if you have a good player with large output to drive them. On players with smaller output, they sound kinda flat and boring, but on the ones with large output, they sound amazing and much more vivid. These headphones are well worth their price.

Asthetically pleasing, but overall, an okay pair of headphones…

The ATH-ES7 headphone has a nick name befitting of it’s stature, the “Ear Suit” 7. This simple and elegant amalgamation of steel and plastic gives off a sense of ostentatiousness for those who wear it. With a mirror finish that gives off a candescent glow with even a minuscule amount of light, the ATH-ES7 draws attention to people with it’s obviously eye-catching appearance. But beyond it’s flashy or “Bling Bling” presence, the ATH-ES7 is a well-designed headphone. The pivot mechanism for the earcups does not give. That is, it does not wobble. The two steel heavy-gauge wires gives solid support for headband adjustment, and there is enough movement in the band as well as the earcups for any ear or head size adaptation. The sound… Well, it performs quite well in midrange. In mid-bass, these babies will give quite a “Boom!”

But of course, it’s not all grandeur here…

While being solidly designed, the ATH-ES7 does have a “Wide-Shoulder” look to them. This means that if you have a slightly larger than average head, you will look goofy because the headband bulges out. And while the sound isolation is decent, it could be better.

For 140 bucks, one would expect the pair of headphones to perform like 140 bucks, but not really in this case. In mid-range, the ATH-ES7 sounds decent, but anything higher leads to erroneous textures due to rough trebles. Ever heard of close-phone honk? Yep, like many closed headphones, the ATH-ES7does have those sonic reflections. Overall, the sound is comparable to a decent pair of 60-100 pair of headphones.

But hey… Despite it’s flaws, it looks fantastic and if you listen to music where the bass action is mid-range, you will be more than happy with these headphones.

Great phones for monitoring!
