Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7

But that about wraps up my review of the MSR7s. I think they're a really good option from Audio-Technica if you're looking for just a little bit more ...

In the end, the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 is a great headphone.

And if you put EQ on them, they seemed to lose all what made them special, and sounded so plain that I preferred to go back to my LCD-2 in the end. I was tired of having multiple headphones that do not comply with my exigencies. I decided to sell all of them and temporally went back to my trusty MSR7.

ConclusionThe Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 is a great-sounding headphone with the one caveat that it offers such impressive detail that it not only brings out the best in recordings but also the worst. But if you are detail hound, it's a delight.

I figured that having some basic gear for monitoring would be useful. Picked up a pair of the Audio Technica ATH M20xs while I was over in the US from Amazon and they're absolutely brilliant. I use them both for editing video and for actually monitoring audio when I'm out shooting on my camera. Terrific at both jobs and (at least this is what I feel) I can really hear the accuracy of the sound being represented.

In the 32 years since, headphones have remained my pr...

Notes: Headphone reviews are highly subjective. I greatly favor having a warm sound. CNET's Review is a good place to start for an idea of what these headphones offer. I am fan of many types of music and also a warm sound. I purchased these headphones because I wanted to find a more enveloping and "...

I can wear them all day and neither my head, where they rest, or specially my ears, will hurt. These are a wonderful pair of headphones on this regard.

If all you care about is sound quality, you like near-analytical sound and have a fondness for listening directly from portable devices, these may be the headphones for you. I've owned or tried almost every option between $200 and $700, and good luck finding a closed back can in that range that soun...
