Reviews around product (4.53 of 5)

  • I think they're producing some pretty amazing products these days
  • These issues aside, the large soundstage and slightly colored but highly neutral sound are the product's main merits, and it shines.
  • It pains me because I generally like Audio Technica products
  • I use this with a modmic on Xbox and its great, I went from having a40s to steelseries and now this.audio technica definitely makes a great product
  • This product is fantastic for those planning on using these for classical music or video games like Csgo

Reviews around soundstage (4.53 of 5)

  • The two work together perfectly, and the awesome soundstage is great for pinpointing just where your opponents are coming from in first-person games.
  • The soundstage (I think this is the spaciousness of the sound) is greatly improved.
  • I like the drivers a lot, crystal clear highs and mids, a little lite in the low end but not too much, they are super light and airy and have great soundstage for the price
  • Super nice and airy sound, good bass for open headphones and good soundstage
  • These issues aside, the large soundstage and slightly colored but highly neutral sound are the product's main merits, and it shines.

Reviews around music (4.26 of 5)

  • Music on these is great for the price I paid for these headphones, no complaints there
  • To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved
  • It feels open, and freeThe noise leakage isn't as bad as I thoughtThe comfort is outstanding
  • As HD sound with large open back drivers, although marketed as a great music headphones (they are), they have given me an almost unfair edge with hearing footsteps in FPS games like Rainbow Six Siege and PubG.
  • Music sounds so crisp and all the layers are presented very very well

Reviews around mid (4.16 of 5)

  • But, if you do need bass with great mids and highs, I would suggest you spend your cash on other headphones.
  • Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
  • a while back due to a stellar experience with the AD700 sound quality (previous model).As expected, the AD700X had the same wide soundstage, brilliant mids and highs
  • Incredible boomy bass, smooth mids, and nice but not pitchy highs
  • To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved

Reviews around set (4.16 of 5)

  • This is my first set of open cans and I love their sound
  • I'm no audiophile, just wanted a damn good set of cans for vidja games and discord
  • My older set has years of use and is still working like a champ, i just needed a second pair
  • These are a very comfy set of headphones and i got a large head so these are perfect for comfort
  • In those points I'll compare and contrast to a cheap set of Samson SR850 (30% of the cost of these)1

Reviews around audio (3.78 of 5)

  • TI can see why this would not be the headphones for someone else - well-balanced audio (sometimes called 'flat'
  • Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
  • It feels open, and freeThe noise leakage isn't as bad as I thoughtThe comfort is outstanding
  • The audio isn't bad when I actually jiggle the connector into my NEW built desktop (that I put together) but it's AWFUL when the connector gets loose, or messes up
  • The audio is very impressive but the design of open back headphones makes it seem as though you are surrounded by the audio.

Reviews around look (3.61 of 5)

  • Cheap look and feel
  • If you're looking for good bass / lows - look elsewhere
  • I preferred the more traditional look, and separate cord jack on the Philips.
  • This represents a great value, super cool looks, appropriately better sound.

Reviews around bass (3.50 of 5)

  • Vocals sound clearer and the the bass is stronger but gets a little muddled
  • With the AD700x, I find that the highs can be a bit too tinny and vocals sound a bit more muddy, but the bass is quite clear as opposed to being strong
  • Incredible boomy bass, smooth mids, and nice but not pitchy highs
  • Bass is lacking, mids sound almost like they should, and highs are hit or miss
  • Don't get me wrong, this is also great for music, but bass is a bit weak.

Reviews around headset (3.44 of 5)

  • Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
  • The sound quality pales in comparison to my Shure SE215, however I can not have a sound isolating headset as I need to respond to local users while keeping the headset on
  • Ive always heard that these were the one of the best headsets for both gaming and music
  • Best headset i have ever put on my head, most comfortable, best sound, absolutely amazing.

Reviews around cable (3.34 of 5)

  • This wouldn't be a big deal with a detachable AUX cable, but alas, this isn't the case
  • It's a great cable; I'm just annoyed that the cable is not detachable
  • I wish they had a better cable like the original tan colored ATH-AD700 but for this price it's still excellent
  • In the end, these are an excellent pair of headphones, that would get 5 stars if they had a removable/replaceable cable
  • Cons are the cable that wants to stay coiled & doesn't relax after time

Reviews around pair (3.32 of 5)

  • If you are looking for a good pair of open headphones, give these a shot.
  • In the end, these are an excellent pair of headphones, that would get 5 stars if they had a removable/replaceable cable
  • The sound is good, the build is good, it's a good pair of headphones for the price.
  • Very good sound quality for a relatively inexpensive pair of open headphones
  • but it's still a pretty big problem for such an expensive pair of headphones.

Reviews around thing (3.27 of 5)

  • My favorite thing about these headphones is the weight, they truly are super lightweight
  • To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved
  • You can hear more outside noise with these than normal earbuds, but thats not a bad thing
  • The only negative thing about them is that the Clamping force is not the tightest for my size 7 1/4" baseball cap sized head, but they do stay on my head comfortably
  • Don't know if my ears are too big and my head is too small, but these things always slip and are just destroying my ears with how close they rest on my head

Reviews around headband (2.18 of 5)

  • And then for sound coming into the headphones, when nothing is playing you can hear your surroundings just as well as you could wearing no headphones at all
  • Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
  • They have super bulky ear pieces made from quality material but the headband is lacking
  • nearly non existent so be wary of that and also the wing headband makes it sag
  • And then for sound coming into the headphones, when nothing is playing you can hear your surroundings just as well as you could wearing no headphones at all

Reviews around ear (2.18 of 5)

  • Further more, maybe I have big ears, but these headphones crush my ears and irritate them very quickly
  • The ear cups are very comfortable and my ears don't get as hot as they do with closed back headphones
  • Also very comfortable and does not squeeze my head or irritate my ears
  • I wish there was a cool and closed-ear version available, but I can say for sure the Audio Technica ATH-AVC500 version didn't even get over the tops of my ears

Reviews around cord (1.90 of 5)

  • Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
  • The cord is also very stiff and does not play well around other equipment
  • Having used them to that end for about two years now, the cord is now is permanently warped/twisted and is finicky at the jack (ie: having to twist it just right to get proper sound through)
  • Open Back headphones)- Long Cord would suck for mobile use (if you want these for mobile use, look somewhere else)- 3D wing designs don't work for
  • At this point they are beaten up, I use a rubber band int he middle as the part that rests on your head and I have pulled on the cord harder than you ever should more than a handful of times

Reviews around bite (1.85 of 5)

  • If you are looking for something that DOES have replaceable cables, the MH50X's do, but they are a bit less comfortable.
  • Holy s**t, these things are amazing
  • Excellent for positional audio, just the wing headband is a bit loose.
  • Comfy and durable no real complaints except the wire is perma bent and it bothers me a bit
  • To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved

Reviews around time (1.80 of 5)

  • Its nowhere near precise, many times you can hear distortion in the production, and feels like its taking place down the street rather than in the arena in which the rest of the sounds are presented
  • Holy s**t, these things are amazing
  • To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved
  • It feels open, and freeThe noise leakage isn't as bad as I thoughtThe comfort is outstanding
  • I lost one on the left side and having a hard time finding a replacement part.
