Great gaming headphones.......2007-12-26
After quite a bit of research I settled on these for primarily gaming purposes but I have used them for music. After I got the AD700s and a new X-FI sound card the sound quality while playing games is amazing. I can only play Bioshock for so long at a time because the game is simply scary due to the realism the sound system is providing. I haven't tried a ton of other headphones so its hard for me to compare these to others, but I can say with confidence if your looking for a good set of cans for both gaming and music these are not going to disappoint.
As for size I haven't found it to be an issue. After wearing these for extended periods of time I have never had an issue with comfort and I personally like them being a bit on the large size since a lot of people complain of tightness with other cans. So if you have a really small head or these are for a small child maybe you should look at something else...
Audiophile Quality.......2007-11-15
I recently just recieved these pairs of headphones after a couple weeks of research. After truly starting to get into music and trying to get the most out of my cd's (without putting up a loan) I started looking within the 100-200 price range. I stumbled upon 3 major choices: ATH AD-700, Sennheiser HD-555 and Sennheiser HD-595.
First, price was a big issue for me....
I didnt want to spend too high on the headphones, and the HD-595's were quite expensive, but I went to my local audio store and really felt that the 595's put up an overall better sound than the 555's. The soundstage was also amazing for both, but again, the 595's were superior.
The Audio Technicas however, was compared first to the 555's and I already amazed by the difference. They achieved far better tone in each note, and was able to go much "higher" and "lower" than the 555's making the Sennheisers almost seem flat. When compared to the 595's, it was definitely more difficult to distinguish a difference, but the tones were still clearer in the ATH's, but the 595's seemed to have a slightly better soundstage, and a rich, ringy sound vs the clearness of the ATH's. Because I listen to classical, jazz, rock, and a moderate dash of techno once in a while, I thought that the 595's would probably sound better with the rich, full sounds of classical and jazz, but fare far worse against the 700's in rock.
After again looking at the price, I decided on the ATH's
The 595's howerver, did look slightly better and may have felt more comfortable. The ATH's didnt feel quite as secure, but it seems to be doing alright up till this point.
A highly reccomended buy.

Inexpensive, comfortable, audiophile headphones.......2007-09-05
There is no negative to this product. The only thing you could possibly say is that they're not as good as the more expensive ATH-AD900. But they both have a completely different sound-stage so even that is arguable.
Bottom line is these headsets look, feel, and sound incredible. Couldn't really be sure from the picture but you really can tell these are high end by just looking at them. The build quality is first class and the wing design distributes the weight very well and results in the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. Very light and the huge velvet ear-cups will fit around the biggest of ears.
Audio-Technica's AD line may have very well been the reason Sennheiser dropped the prices on their HD models. And still many owners prefer these over other brand name headphones that cost twice as much.
There is one review here that says these headphones are too big. Well, they are indeed large but I find that it adds to the comfort. They don't clamp onto your head like some other brands. They rest very lightly around your head but I'm sure most people won't have any problems with them falling off.
If you've got a good soundcard in your PC and you're looking for high quality, comfortable headphones, look no further.
You will not regret it.......2007-06-11
I have Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 for about a month and quite happy with its sound quality. But it is not worth to have it with mp3 player or PC
with cheap soundcard, they will not make wonders with bad sound source.
With decent CD player (I tested and use them with JVC and Sony DVD players
amplified by Kenwood or Sony stereo receivers) good quality CD's sound great, just as they should: close to a quite good speaker system. With better source the result could possibly be even better. Overall, very good cans, worth the money. They sound better than Bose Triport, though heavier. They are pretty comfortable (though not extremely light and quite large). They are not adjustable, which is an only drawback I see). So, I would rate them by 4+.
Excellent sound quality, very comfortable - no pressure on ears at all........2007-03-09
Sound quality is better than any Headphones from Boss, very comfortable, soft - no pressure on ears at all (that's why they are big, but I am OK with it).
"Minuses": if sound quality of your records is not good - you will hear every scratch, noise, etc. No distortion, BASS is OK, but BASS is not overwhelming. Thus, if you want a too bassy sound - this is not for you unless you have a good sound card or a pre-amplifier. No sound-isolation - you will hear outside sounds. It's good if you need to speak with somebody during playback; but if your environment is noisy - choose another one. (They have models with noise-canceling features too.)
