Excellent soundstage, excellent clarity, one of the best open headphone at reasonable price Got it at Rs 8000.. thanks amazon. Not a headphone that you can wear in public, or in library as this being open headphone, the sound, leaks,

A great headphone. Being an open drivers the noise leakage is expected . But never imagined it would leak so much (this is my first open can). You can listen to it 2 rooms across. This are excellent headphones but the real magic comes out only when you drive them through an amplifier. it has maxed out on my k5 fiio amplifier, there is no distortion at the highest amplification. So this headphone can handle a lot of power and can get insane loud without any distortion. People do complain and i too noticed that they do lack bass . But if you run it through amp or a good source . On high volume the bass comes out and slams you like a brick wall. The bass will blow you. It can manage entire range of bass from sub-mid-high bass so the bass is full bodied with the thump, so in short you get the rumble effect of 20 hz of sub woffers on your ears. Sound stage , i think is a myth .but if you have to ask being open cans they have an open sound and not a claustrophobic feel. Cons Noise leakage (so can be used indoors only . You absolutely cannot take them outside) Needs amplification A recessed lower mid ( but you can ignore it considering the overall package) It is bulky with 3 meter long wire Pro They dont heat up the ear They have good bass but only on high amplification Nice spatial location on games Can produces compressed sounds faithfully.so has high amount of resolution. Can handle a lot of power so they can get really loud.

My first open back headphones to start the journey to the audiophile world. Great sound.. People complain about the bass though, but it has a decent amount of low end and nice airy presentation of the highs and mids. Listening to acoustic and live performances is an absolute pleasure from a headphone at this price range. Proves itself extraordinary for low-key EDM or electro genres like chillstep and ambient as well. Also tested with BF3 and COD:BO3 and found the wide stereo imaging to be helpful for pin-pointing sound sources.

Awesome Sound Effects.... No one can flank u....its easy to listen footsteps and enemy positions and their spawns in BF4 easily... Good Headphone's go with this mic http://www.amazon.in/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ

I am in love with open back headphones because of these. 700x is my very first open back headphone. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are very good at what they are intended to do. I also have audio technica ath m50x which is a closed back headphone and is a legend in its category but 700x being an open back headphone sounds much better than m50x in every aspect of music, be it clarity, soundstage and impedance. The only thing that 700x lacks is bass response. Bass is inferior than m50x but it's okay with me. Believe you me guys, go for 700x if you want to experience the magic of open back headphones. Audio technica rocks!

My first pair of open back headphones. Audio Technica doesn't fail to surprise me. If you are new to open back headphones look no further. I heard some people complaining about lack of bass but it can be fixed by tweaking the eq settings. My only complaint is the long cable , but it might be of use to some.

These are Open Back headphones. This is a little different from the typical headphones most people have. Since they are open back, the focus is more on soundstage (how wide the sound is and from how far it seems to come) and it does it really well. But this doesnt have the typical treble and bass heavy personality. This one has a great neutral feel to it. You cant really make out in typical bollywood and EDM music. But if you listen to classic rock, jazz, blues, you would be surprised. It leaks sound outside so it not really for wearing in the metro (not portable) and the cable is very very long. Only reason i didnt give 5 stars is because for the price. At this price the AD900x which is slightly better, should be in worth. Suggested Usage: Listening to Jazz, Classic Rock, Instrumental, Ghazals, etc Best used with: Tube headphone amp really makes it sound very very good. Pros: 1) Great soundstage 2) Very comfortable 3) Accurate sound 4) Long cable to sit far from your source 5) Easy to drive (no need for a headphone amp, although recommended) Cons: 1) Leaks sound (its designed that way, not really a con) 2) Headband is slightly loose (a rubber band can fix it easitly though) 3) Highs can be slightly edgy (fatiguing​) if not using a tube amp.

Je recommande por son rapport qualité/prix.

Muchas personas tendrán distintas opiniones sobre este modelo de audífonos abiertos. Si bien es cierto que con sus bajos relativamente débiles no complacerán a toda clase de oído, realmente brillan cuando se les pone a prueba con tonos medios y altos. Son extremadamente ligeros y cómodos de utilizar, incluso por largos periodos de tiempo. Me gusta especialmente el diseño de la diadema (o la ausencia de ella), que es un cambio bien recibido por quienes vivimos bajo climas más cálidos. Sin embargo, hay que mencionar que aparentan estar diseñados para cabezas más grandes (como la mía) y aquellos de cráneos menos voluminosos pueden necesitar ajustarlos con una banda elástica. Por ser un modelo abierto de drivers de gran tamaño, crean una sensación de espacio sobre lo que estás escuchando, lo que es especialmente útil en videojuegos con un buen motor de audio que te ayude a distinguir la dirección del ruido. El cable se siente robusto y es suficientemente largo, las almohadillas tienen un recubrimiento de tela suave. En relación con su precio, me siento confiado en decir que los Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X son dueños de una de las mejores relaciones costo-beneficio en el mercado. Son un muy buen punto de entrada para cualquier persona que busca invertir en audio de mayor fidelidad. En general, altamente recomendables.

I grew up amongst a bunch of stereophiles, dwelling in speaker boxes, horns, electrostatic and ribbon speakers from brands like Roger, Audio Research, Apogee, Krell, etc......as well as vinyl turntables, vacuum tube amplifiers. So I only knew speakers could sound really really good. And the recording makes a huge difference as well. Before this pair of ATH-AD700x, I already had a pair of ATH-EM7 on ears since 20 years back. They sound ok, but never like the speakers. Fast forward 20 years, my gal asked for a pair of headphones. She had never heard of Audio Technica before this and after letting hear my 20 yr olds ATH-EM7, she was shock that such an old pair still sounded so good. So she finally chose a pair of ATH-ANC900BT (tha all black one). Gosh I was amazed by the sound quality. Definitely better than my 20 yr old EM7. Then I went on a small spree and got myself a cheap pair of ATH-AVS200 (for movies), a pair of ATH-EQ300M (modern version of the EM7), and a pair of ATH-250AV (for movies). The AVS200 and 250AV sounded better than most headphones, but defniitely not as good as the ANC900BT. Then I compared it with my wife's pair of ATH-WS660BT (which seems to have more bass than the ANC900BT), and also my nephew's Sony WH-1000XM5. The 1000XM5 has plenty bass and good for someone who loves bass, but pales in comparison with the AD700X and the other Audio Technicas. The AD700X (IMO) beats even the ANC900BT and the WS660BT (which are more dynamic). The recording definitely makes a difference. Listening to mediocre recording on the AD700X sounds similar to listening to high fidelity flac recordings on the AVS200 or 250AV. Or like the ANC900BT or WS660BT on average recordings. The AD700X with hi-fi flac recordings just sound sublime, crystal clear. Really the monitor headphones you would want to have. They elevate mediocre recordings. Now I wondering how will the AD900X/1000X/2000X will sound like. Or how the A1000X or W1000Z will sound like. I cannot imagine.

In assoluto la miglior cuffia per fps competitivi sotto i 200€. Si tratta di una cuffia aperta (quindi senza alcun tipo di isolamento contro rumori esterni) , necessario l'utilizzo in ambienti poco rumorosi per apprezzarne appieno le qualità. Il loro soundstage incredibilmente ampio e l'elevata tridimensionalità vi permetteranno di posizionare i nemici con estrema facilità . Facili da pilotare anche grazie alla loro bassa impedenza. Hanno gli stessi driver audio delle ath-ADG1X che in più offrono il microfono incorporato, valutate al momento dell'acquisto quale più si adatta alle vostre esigenze. Due piccole note dolenti su il supporto per la testa (nel primo periodo di utilizzo si ha la sensazione di una cuffia poco salda, sinceramente non ho mai avuto problemi) e il cavo (non staccabile, si intreccia facilmente). Difetti che comunque non vanno ad intaccare un prodotto eccellente. in foto vedete queste Ath-700x sulla sinistra mentre a destra le mie altre cuffie gaming chiuse, delle beyerdynamic dt-770. Acquistatele ad occhi chiusi. Se avete domande sarò ben lieto di rispondere nei commenti. Diffidate da recensori che non riportano la scritta "acquisto verificato" in quanto probabilmente non hanno esperienza diretta sul prodotto.

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