I just want to start off saying that if your looking at these headphones and wondering how good they are, stop guessing and just buy..Just got mine in today they are so clear in sound you can here the... read more [+] highs perfectly,the mids are amazing and the bass enhancement is really good. I'm a signer/songwriter and i have a small song writing studio.I spend a lot of time mixing and the fact that they are so comfortable really helps out also,the fact that they are closed helps with noise isolation a lot..If your a beginner just getting into recording or a professional these headphones are the one for you... close [-]

Yea, these things are very comfortable, sharp sound, I mean just sounds great! Block out a good bit of sound and don't leak!
Honestly it doesn't get much better in headphones.
Let me tel... read more [+]l you!
I've dropped these, sat on them, lol... I've pulled them up by the chord and many times dont see the chord in my old cramp recording space and step on the chord. OH NO! jack gets pulled out, headphones come off but everythings ok. I'm saving my money. Until you get in to the master's pairs around 400, these are the best for anywhere close to the price! no doubt close [-]

Phenomenal Value

I'll try to keep this short. We used these headphones along with the monitor (M40fs) version, and Sony 7506's for production/broadcasting.
Pros: Sound/price ratio (unbeatable), comfort (really ... read more [+]snug, so it won't go anywhere even when headbanging, soft insides), sound sealing (you can't hear anything softer than normal conversation if you tried), durable wire and plug, one eared listening a piece of cake.
Cons: Parts for the headphones don't seem to be easily available, can get warm inside, 1/4" input means an adapter is necessary for most MP3 players, no apparatus to wind up the REALLY long cord, no folding for those who care about that.
Comparing to the M40fs, the sound is sweeter with great trebles and bass, and it feels like a cushion inside, while the M40 is really flat and has a ring inside instead of the large cushion so it feels more open. Based on the prices, it's easy to pick this over the M40, unless you plan on doing audio engineering.
Comparing to the 7506, there is less treble and more bass, and they feel a bit more bulky, with rounded plastic versus metallic feeling flat sides. The one-ear listening is done differently, with the 7506 flipping and the A-T's twisting, and the cord for the 7506 is coiled (though more delicate). The value comparison is incomparable. close [-]

I purchased these for personal use because music is my life and I want to hear every nuance of my favorite songs. I want my violin painfully plaintive and my bass profound but not overwhelming.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
