Audio Technica ATH-EQ300M SV Silver | Ear-Fit Headphones (Japan Import)

I have used these A LOT for the last two weeks since they were delivered. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and would recommend them. Pros: *They feel and perform like a good quality product. In other words, even though they are inexpensive, they don't feel or look cheap. *Sound is good, clear, and there is no vibration. *Because of the way they sit over the ears, it is easy to hear the things going on around me (i.e. vehicles on my walk, knock on the door, etc.). *They are lightweight, but sit securely (like glasses), and don't fall off when moving around. *The cord is a good length, small and lightweight. *The cord has been designed in a way that where the two sides split, the right side cord is longer and goes around the back of the neck, enabling me to let the headphones hang on my neck when I take them off. *The speaker portion is on a hinge, so I can adjust to my comfort how snug they are up against my ears. *Padding is comfortable, and feels durable. *The arms that go over the ears are smooth, similar to the arms on glasses, so they slide on easily. Con: These are less cons than they are FYIs. *Because the arms are not padded, and because I wear them for long periods of time (10-12 hours at a time) it can make my ears a bit sore if I have them sitting too snug over my ears. That being said, when I only wear them for an hour or two, this isn't an issue. I resolved this issue by setting them on my ears more loosely when wearing them for my hours straight. When I need to move around in ways that I would need to bend down (i.e. loading the dishwasher, getting clothes out of the dryer, etc.), I make them more snuggly on my ears. If I am doing things like cooking, sitting at the computer, taking a walk, I wear them in a looser, less snug position, but they stay securely put. So in my experience, wearing them for long periods of time and needing them to sit snuggly on the ear, can cause some discomfort, but not if I am wearing them snuggly for a couple of hours. *I like the way they sit over the ears so I am able to hear the things going on around me (i.e. vehicles on my walk, knock on the door, etc.). However, this design means that if you will be using them in a quiet area (i.e. library, classroom, etc.), they may not be as quiet as you need. But using them in places like the store, gym, etc., it's not a problem.

Very lightweight, honestly a little weird to wear at first but they're quite comfortable over long hours, I do wear them with glasses which is something I often struggle with in finding some headphones that don't fall out due to them but these stay right on my ear without problem. The wire is a bit thin so I feel that could be a point of failure but as of now they're working well. I wear them outside and it gives a good mix of audio/outside environmental awareness though in loud areas it is very hard to hear any audio, they're really small too so they fit in a palm sized bag and honestly I'd say they're worth the price point, very neutral sound balance.

These seem to be the best over-ear clip headphones out there, for the price. AUDIO: Fantastic. Better than most in-ear headphones. Note that (as should be expected) there's no noise cancellation. This is actually a pro for me, as I don't need to remove them to listen for cars or people; just turn down the music a bit. However, this does mean they are awful in loud areas, especially on airplanes. They may leak when used at high volumes, but not as badly as other models. CASING: Thin, light, and aesthetic. I can sleep on these. I often even forget I'm wearing them. The pads are comfortable and sturdy. I've had them tear maybe once -- far sturdier than other headphones. The shell is nice and looks pricier than it is (it has sort of a subtle sparkle, like new car paint). The darker models do fingerprint easily, however. The width is nearly identical to that of the Panasonic RP-HZ47, but the thinner clips and lower hinge make for a much comfier fit. CLIPS: Comfy, but EXTREMELY cheap and delicate. Although they used to last me a year or two, the newer models seem to break along the hinge and only last me 1-3 months with daily (but gentle) use. I once even received a defective pair out of the box. I can usually superglue the plastic tips back together, but it'll only hold for another few days before snapping again. CORD: Lengthy, relatively sturdy. The cord is long enough that I have to stuff a few extra coils in my pocket along with my phone. (I don't have an exact measurement, unfortunately.) If you're using this for running, you'll definitely need to keep it out of the way so it doesn't catch on things. Also, it is not your usual Y-shaped cord, but more of an L- shaped one. I actually prefer this since the cord tucks behind your neck and out of the way, but it also means there's a little more tension on the left headphone. However, the cord is pretty sturdy compared to other clip headphones I've tried. The clips always break before the cord futzes out.

For their price, these are excellent headphones. I prefer these to AirPods, and having them hang around your neck is awesome. The pros and cons: Pros: -the price is excellent for what they are. Other similar Audio Technical headphones of this type are around $100-200, and while those are slightly better, they’re not nearly good enough to justify the price. -decent audio quality. I’d say they’re around the same if not a bit below what I’d expect for a normal pair of AirPods. They’re definitely walking headphones; they’re just meant for causal listening. If you’re a true audiophile, this probably isn’t for you. -I really love the style, they’re definitely unique and pretty sleek, especially if you wear them around your neck as intended. They definitely stand out; whether that’s a pro or con is up to you. Cons: -the audio bleeds a lot. You can’t (or shouldn’t) blare music on these, because it’ll inevitably annoy everybody around you. Like I said, they’re definitely walking headphones; they let in a lot of surrounding sound, which isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s a con if you want an isolated sound experience. These are definitely meant for lower-volume, more chill experiences. -comfort varies by headphone. I’ve bought 2 pairs; my first pair had a bit of a plastic burr on one of the clips, which made listening pretty uncomfortable. After they broke (my fault) I got a second pair with no plastic burr, and they were 100x more comfortable, I could (and do) wear them for hours on end. This could easily be solved with some fine sandpaper, but something to mention. -the little sliding cable-managing plastic bit that shortens the length of the headphones is really flimsy, it slides around pretty often. Again, not a huge deal, and some glue would probably help it. Overall: definitely recommend if it’s something that appeals to you. They’ve got flaws, but if you kinda dig these weird but cool headphones, then 100% go for it, it’s an awesome experience for the low price.

OK, first off let me say that the sound quality on these headphones is extremely well for the price and actually fit quite comfortably, although it will hurt your ears a little at first if you wear them for a long time. They are small and very light, and look really good, although be careful because it is made of plastic so they can get small scratches easily if not taken care of properly. The problem with these headphones is the durability, these headphones look great and sound great but I had to order two already and the second one just broke, which prompted me to write this review. Because these headphones are light and made of plastic they can break very easily, specifically on the earpiece and also the audio can get messed up because the the audio jack, which I will go into more detail later. As I said, it is made of plastic so I would advice not wearing these as your go everywhere headphones because you probably be taking them on and off. The earpieces after a few months of wearing will begin to loosen up and eventually fall out due to taking them off, the way you put on these headphones is that the earpiece can turn so you can put it around your ear but doing that so much it wears it down and will eventually break This happened to both of my headphones and had to glue the earpiece back on carefully. The jack is straight instead of bent, some people may like that but others may see some issues with it because the end of the cord will bend a lot if you put it in your pocket if not placed right and if it gets bent so much then the wiring inside the cord eventually breaks,making audio skip or not exist at all, making the headphones useless at that point aside from looks. Speaking of the cord, it is a good length, somewhere along 30 inches or so, I had no issues with it. In the end, these headphones I guess were not meant to be worn a lot, they were probably designed to be worn once in a while to or probably just for the computer, not for running or walking around all day. For the price I liked them, although because of having to get replacements I cannot really say that I would recommend them unless you will not take them off much. These headphones look and sound great but can be broken very easily. I really like these headphones but just kinda disappointed in the quality, I would advice looking at some of the other headphones, there are others from the company that are much more durable and come in different colors.

-it prompted me to decide to finally review it cause i was so impressed Very impressed with these, the bleeding definitely is present but like, w/ the mp3 player 10 volume (the max is 30 for context) has no bleeding basically and on the bus with a decent bit of noise 20 volume doesn’t even bleed any sound enough for anyone to hear and thats not that noisy of an environment and 20 is honestly a bit of an uncomfortably loud volume (and i like music so loud it gave me tinnitus so, it being uncomfortably loud and still not bleeding enough for anyone to hear in a public space is impressive) On top of that, in my area there is severe weather including flooding basically everywhere and i accidentally closed the door with the headphones hanging out the door and we went for a little bit before i realized and pulled them in, and they were SOAKED and despite that, after they dried, they sound perfect, the chrome on the exterior is busted up sadly but, ya know, dragging along the road will do that, but ya, high quality and durability so im impressed The audio is also very clear and sounds very good I think the only things i have that may be negatives for some, is that with glasses, they fill the same space so you do have to adjust to that being different but its not horrible at all, and do not expect to only hear the audio, you will hear basically everything around you, but i like that, means i can hear things people say when im on the bus like my driver saying we are taking a detour or walking home hearing a car coming up behind me, so ya Highly recomend especially with an mp3 player, the only thing i truly wish were different is that i wish they had a mic so i could use them for other stuff like being on a voice call without needing to have a separate mic, but when the negative is “i wanna be able to use it more” thats hardly much of a negative Also, p3 fans looking at it trying to decide, just do it, the price is good, and if you get an mp3 player as well it combos great, i literally feel like makoto/kotone every day and its so peak, got all the persona3 osts on there But ya, if you are out of the house a lot especially, just get it, they also easily and nicely slide onto some bag straps and its so nice, just get it!!

Audio Technica ATH-EQ300M clip-on 15 year old me from the mid '90s got nostalgic for the old clip-ons I used to have when my EDC was a Mini-disc player or CD walkman so I went looking. I have several AT products and these tickled my fancy (though I couldn't get that tasty brown color). I just got the blue ones so here's my initial reaction. Packaging: clear stuff, good, end. Pros: Single side cable (behind the neck)*8.10, great color*, super light 10/10, good fit (for me) 9/10, sound 8/10 Cons: Single-side cable should lead from one pod, not split partway down the cable (experienced opinion); things your fingers touch should NOT be shiny surfaces Meat and potatoes is these sound at least as good as any clip type headphone I've ever used, and I've used a lot. You're not going to get bass-head punch from them, but bass is intelligible. Mids aren't boomy, vocals are clear and crisp, sibilance is well controlled, cymbals are bright but controlled. Highs are a bit muted but clear enough for casual listening. Overall, this is a fairly flat response curve with a slight bump in the mids comparatively. There is a definite presence if you're sitting near these. How deliciously '90s! After a few minutes wearing them, the only reason I know they're on my head is Unleash the Archers' "The Matriarch" blasting my ear holes with a very pleasant casual listening experience as I write this. 10/10 recommend for casual listeners who don't have to worry about anyone nearby. My qualifications to review audio gear: I'm an audiophile and former novice audio engineer. I typically listen to Fiio FH5's, a $300+ IEM when I bought them, on a Hi-Res DAP, or one of various pairs of KZ IEMs. For desktop use I've got a Mackie M-Caster or Fiio K3 running FLAC files to a pair of Mackie CRX3 monitors.

These are not the typical "Hi-Fi" headphones. Sound output are mostly in the upper ranges. Base (low) notes are subdued, as expected from small headphones. Mid-range (~1k Hz) are also subdued, as demonstrated by somewhat lacking in presence. What does come through is high degree of clarity, and smooth non-fatiguing sound without harshness. Together with light weight and comfortable attachment, they are perfect for extended usage with these older ears.

buena calidad de sonido

Sick desing, pretty good audio and a cheap but perfect way for cosplayers of Persona 3. Not much more to say, though the plastic is a bit cheap.

Awesome for the price, decent sound quality, mostly plastic construction but they look surprisingly nice!

They sounded very much like a 20+ yr old pair of ATH-EM7 I got in 2000. Audio Technica kept the same formula, except the EM7 were aluminium case, with rubber/wire ear clip (comfortable to wear), than the current plastic case with plastic ear clip. And @ 10% of the EM7 price. Considering inflation on the EM7, that will make them only 5% of the EM7 price. But they still sound as good. They are on ears so don't expect sound like you are getting from headphones like the M20-M70 series. Excellent for the price I got them.

They were actually bigger than I was expecting but they are very comfortable on the ears. The sound is very good too. A good alternative to iPhone headphones if you aren’t a fan of them being ‘inside’ the ear. This feels like a less bulky version of typical over the ears headphones.
