You can’t go wrong
I recently picked up these headphones, and I have to say, I’m really impressed! First off, the fit is fantastic. They feel almost weightless on my head, and the floating pad design on the headband makes them super comfortable for long listening sessions. The ear pads, despite their appearance, are incredibly breathable and plush, adding to the overall comfort.The open-back design is a game changer. It creates an immersive audio experience that makes the music feel alive, and you really notice the depth in every track. For the price, the audio quality is outstanding. The mid-bass and treble stand out, providing a great balance. While the higher frequencies can be a bit harsh and the bass feels a little light out of the box, a quick adjustment with an EQ elevates the sound way beyond what you’d expect at this price point.They also seem pretty durable, so Iâm confident theyâll last. Overall, for the cost, these headphones deliver performance well above their price range. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great sound, comfort, and a premium feel without breaking the bank!

OMG, fantastic!
I admit, I am an absolute sound snob. I am so picky it isn’t funny. But these headphones… they check ALL the boxes.I knew I would be happy, Audio-Technica is such a respected name, but it goes beyond my expectations.To start, I don’t go for bass heavy headphones. I prefer studio quality to hear all the sounds. Heavy bass cancels out some of the mid range. So if your expecting ground shaking (or, I guess, ear shaking) bass, never buy studio quality. I simply use an equalizer on my computer to pop up the bass a bit (you should always use an equalizer or you miss out) . I listen to a lot of darkwave and aggrotech so you need a bit of bass on that.However, I did my first test in Valheim. My computer decided it was going to be a pain and not use my headset mic, regardless of what I told it, instead use my MXL condenser. Well, it is a good mic. Instead of fighting it, I just pushed my headset mic out of the way… and it would just get in my way (mostly sit right in front of my left eye), so it was time for headphones instead of a headset. My headset has some pretty good surround sound, so I knew what to listen for. But wow! Just on the game loading screen I was hearing sound effects I never noticed before.Once in game I was hearing what I can only think is the way the sound team intended the game to sound like. Footsteps sounded real now, birds I never noticed before, all the little chirps, wind, chittering of the MOBs, all totally more realistic.Tested the surround by hunting for some deer, and it exceeded expectations there too. I could accurately track the sounds of deer: right rear, left front, dead left, moving, I could hear the sounds moving naturally (which my headset did too, but the cans have a more vibrant sound).Then I loaded Spotify and put on a song by a band I’ve seen many times live. Now that.. was gorgeous as well. It sounded natural, like I was there live, hearing all the nuance and all the sound.As I mentioned, the huge bass isn’t there, that’s okay with me. The bass is very solid, not disappointing me at all. The human voice should not sound flat, and I was totally hearing all the range in the vocals. Just like being there. But the bass is good. I really love the bass I’m getting out of it (listening to some darkwave right now, so it’s really got bass, I’m not disappointed).As for noise cancelling…. well, they are open back. That being said, I actually didn’t hear much outside noise while playing music. And while in game, I pretended not to so to drive my kids crazy (it’s a mother’s job to driver her kids crazy). But yes, in game I heard outside noise pretty well. In my situation, though, it’s not a big deal. I have a fairly quiet office space where I play, and well, when I’m in the living room, being able to hear outside noises is usually good, I’m down there to be around the fam, after all.But if you want no outside noise, I recommend a closed back headphone. As I mentioned, when the music was on, I wasn’t hearing much, even when the kids started talking. They could hear my music pretty well, but I couldn’t really hear them.The comfort level… that too is great. I was hesitant of the way the headband was designed. However, it fits great. I got spoiled by self adjusting headbands as it always seems I can’t find the right click on other ones. This one self adjusted perfectly.At first it felt loose, I shook my head quite a bit and they stayed perfectly in place. The ear pieces fit well over the ear, I put on my glasses and they felt great with the glasses on. The “looseness” really seems to help with not feeling squished while wearing glasses. I’ve been wearing them for a couple hours now (once headphones on, its hard to get them off of me) and it’s not hot and sticky, still feel comfortable, and I don’t feel like my head is in a vice. I could totally wear them all day if I had to.I would totally, 100%, recommend these headphones for anyone who want quality sound. Of course I’m a person who thinks ear buds should be outlawed on the basis they deliver inferior sound (I told you I am sound snob).They are ..worth.every.penny.Totally worth it.

A Perfect $80 Allrounder (with some caveats)
TLDR: I use the Sony top-end headphones for my daily drivers, which is my frame of referenceSound Quality – it’s a mixed bag; the open back allows for more of a concert-like experience, but music specifically is a little more flat and less dynamic (with average bass). I likely have bias from noise-canceling headphones but for the average user it will sound relatively worse (but not at all bad)Comfort – little to no fatigue after wearing for about 4 hours, and I imagine for even longerPrice – the ~50% discount is a little misleading; it’s a few years old and is typically at the $80 range BUT as an $80 product, great valueFor the fellow neurotic purchasers :] The reason I rate these as a 5 star is not because these are exceptional at some things or have amazing features, but are bang-for-your-buck headphones.Sound – I have been using my Sony-WH XM3 wirelessly before these. Keep in mind that I am used to noise canceling headphones, but if you’re an audiophile, then you are prolly looking at some other headphones. The open back adds a special concert feeling, making sound less congestive (like having a cold) and more natural/open. My WH XM5s (personally) sound better for all types of music, BUT are somewhat uncomfortable and “congestive.”“Comfort – S+ hands down. At first it’ll feel “loose,” which is actually code for COMFORTABLE. Most modern headphones are a tad tighter fitting (for noise canceling) and thus are naturally more uncomfortable. Because these are open-back, over ear, lightweight headphones, there is less “pressure” in your ears, no fatigue on ear lobes, and minimal weight/pressure on the top of your head. If all you want is a very comfortable pair of headphones that is at WORST average in sound, these are great. The issue for me comes when the trade-off is coming at the expense of sound quality.Gaming – I both listen to music while I game and just immerse myself in the game (no music). In both regards, a solid B+, likely a mid A. Because sounds are a little more flat, music doesn’t overwhelm the gameplay/sounds. The open-back makes gaming less like you’re listening to the game through a super high-def mic vs. more like you’re playing the game and have mid-high tier hearing (it just a vibes thing idk how to explain further) Also remember if you game on PC, your keyboard clicks will definetly be audible, competing with PC audio (but not necessarily overbearing)Overall Thoughts – For the price, a surefire purchase (remember that you’re buying $80 headphones, not $170) The typical happy customer will need headphones for long-use sessions, be satisfied with solid sound quality, excellent comfort, and affordability (the average gamer)IF you have the extra money, I would look into other headphones, because at the $170 range, you can def find some headphones that have better sound quality, more features, and bluetooth (enables the freedom of mobility that we’ve all taken for granted). If both sound quality AND comfort are dealbreakers, I would say your price range will need to be higher. If you can survive without one or the other, these are the pick for comfort.Tanks for coming to my TED Talk 🙂

Excelente qualidade de áudio que é de se esperar de um fone da Audio-Technica e super leve e confortável. O único problema é que este fone é tão confortável que ele vai te deixar mal acostumado quando for usar outros.

Estos son por mucho los mejores audÃfonos que he tenido, tengo ahora mismo también los momentum 4 y no tienen comparación estos son mejores por mucho. Lo único que no me gustó es que no se les puede quitar el cable, fuera de eso es lo mejor en audio no lo pienses más valen cada peso.

Son una verdadera sensación, realmente me encontré con una mejora significativa de sonido en toda perspectiva, sin usar un dac ya sonaba muy distinto a otros auriculares, sin duda mejores que cualquier otra adquisicion que puedas tener antes, para el Gaming, pelÃculas y sobretodo música es el mejor auricular.
Arthur Amorim –
Fone excelente. Conforto impecável e som de primeira. Tem uma assinatura sonora semelhante ao M40x porém, por ser aberto, tem uma espacialidade muito melhor e o som embola menos do que nos M40x, que tem mais graves mas com uma pressão que me causa dor de cabeça após algumas horas de uso. Pra quem quer um fone de entrada e não busca um isolamento sonoro está recomendadÃssimo.

Mi cabeza pequeña no podÃa con ellos. He forzado el aro a preparándolo y todo OK. Ya no se deslizan para abajo. Y el audio es espectacular..con un increÃble espaciado 3D y Rico en graves, unos medios espectaculares (guitarras y voces de lujo) y algo excesivos en agudos…. Pero muy buenos en general…. Solo cabezones o forzar el aro.. Superior al Beyerdynamic dt 990 y senheisser 599…pero muy lejos de la pegada y potencia de hifiman xs
