Size 8 head fits pefectly. Doesn’t Compress your head at all. No ear Pain
I have used these audio-technica’s for an entire year now, and it is amazing! The packaging was very good and the product would not look better. It is plastic construction, so it does clank around when folding it up for transport, but you can’t beat the price. The construction isn’t the highest of materials, but the quality of construction is great. All joints perform perfectly and there isn’t a doubt that these are high-quality. What matters, the sound, is great too. You know what you are getting with Audio-Technica’s. I use these to study and play games on, sometimes I just wear them to block out the sounds of my roommates when I need to concentrate. But, when you are listening to music, you get a crisp and clear sound from these headphones. You begin to hear parts of music that you couldn’t with your cheap earbuds, and the experience is much much better. You really get lost in what you are listening to. Being so light, your head doesn’t get weighted down either, and once they are on your head, they stay there.Something else I love about these is the long cable. I can get up and reach my phone plugged into the wall or a textbook on the ground a little ways away, without having to break concentration or constantly be taking off and putting on these headphones. Solid feature for me, at least. I know some people don’t like the length of the cable, but for me I love it. This model DOES NOT have a removable cable, so you can’t just buy a different length cable. You are stuck with the long length of this one and you are buying a set of headphones with a long cable. It doesn’t really get in the way, but I sometimes step of the cable while getting out of the chair and it rips off the headphones, not fun. But the cables are very sturdy so it doesn’t damage it a bit. You may also accidentally run it over with your chair, again not damaging it; I’ve done it multiple times. Currently a college student with 3 more years to go and I have no doubt that these will hold up. For the money these are great headphones. The ear pads don’t beat the lush one’s of Beats, but they do what they need to. VERY light on the head and don’t compress your head like beats do sometimes. I have a size 8 head and these work amazingly. Can listen to music and study for hours, with no ear pain, since they go around the entire ear. Or you can play games for hours and not be annoyed with the fit. GREAT GREAT GREAT. Audio technica products for life.

One of the Best Pairs of Budget Headphones You’ll Own
Since everything has already been said about these that can be said, these are some of the nicest headphones you can get for the price.The headphones themselves are a very sleek black design and are a nice matte black finish rather than the piano black that most companies love to use. The build quality is top notch and being able to fold them makes it great for traveling if that’s what you’re looking for.The noise isolation is not too bad either. I only use these in my room but was looking for a pair of heapdhones that had some decent noise isolation. If my regular hearing is 100%, while wearing these and not listening to anything, I’d say it lowers what I can hear to the 50-60% range so roughly half of the normal ambient noise volume. If you’re listening to something even on low volume, you cannot hear anything else outside of the headphones. I also briefly tested noise leak with other people in the room and to my surprise they could hear nothing until the volume was close to 100%. Of course this volume level is different for everyone but that’s 100% with Realtek HD audio drivers on a Windows 7 machine which gets extremely loud. I normally use 20-30% for reference.The ear cups fit very close to actually laying over my ears but they fit, making them closed.As for the sound quality, it’s always hard to describe exactly “how” something sounds. The easiest way to put it is these sound the way you expect audio to sound. If you aren’t an extreme audiophile or know exactly what something should sound like, these headphones will be even better.One thing that may give you an issue is the tightness of these headphones. I came from using JVC HA RX700’s which are an equally great pair of headphones. The main issue with those is the break in time. The ATH M30x’s take nowhere near as long to break in, but it should be noted that it may take you a few days to a few weeks to get adjusted to how they feel. After you stop fidgeting with them and get them to a height that works for you, sometimes you forget you’re even wearing them.Comfort, quality, and sound are all present.If there was any negative I could give to these headphones its the fact that they do sit very close to my ears. If the ear cups were slightly larger it may feel a bit better, but that of course requires a complete redesign of the headphones which were built this way for a reason.Unless you have a very large head or prefer muddier quality sounding headphones such as Beats, you cannot go wrong with these.Pros:+ Amazing sound quality+ Great build quality, matte black finish, intriguing design+ Very comfortable feeling earpads+ Good sound isolation, ~50% of sound dampenedCons:- Would prefer slightly larger ear cups

Work great for silent electric guitar practice.
Did a lot of research and headphones in this category have some pretty marginal reviews. These have worked fine for me, they’re lightweight, comfortable, don’t squeeze too tight (I wear a large size hat), seal outside sounds well and so far the ear muffs seem to be holding up well. The height adjustment seems to be sufficiently stiff to stay in place, but not too stiff to easily adjust.I use mine with a headphone amp so I can practice electric guitar without bothering anyone. But I’ve also plugged them into my stereo for general music listening, and they sound much better than the cheapy speakers my wife uses for background music.Deteriorating muffs seem to be a big failure point for most headphones, but these seem to be easily removable so should be easy to replace. And replacements are available. Also the wires from the headband to the phones are exposed. This might expose them to being snagged and broken, but I prefer them because they aren’t big loops – just enough to allow flexibility, without hiding them to snake around some internal joint where they’re likely to get flexed so much they eventually break – which renders the headphones useless. In fact the wire routing seems specifically designed to avoid kinking or over-flexing no matter how the headphones are articulated or folded.I expect to have these a long time.

Inicialmente, deixo claro que faço esta avaliação após uma semana de uso do fone!Pela primeira vez fiz um investimento mais elevado em se tratando de um headphone. Sei que os equipamentos da Audio Technica são de alta qualidade e optei, deliberadamente, por comprar um fone desta marca. O produto chegou muito bem protegido e vem acompanhado de uma caixa robusta, com manual e instruções em diferentes idiomas. Antecipo, também, que ele não possui microfone embutido.O fone contém um adaptador a ser utilizado em mixers e amplificadores em geral o que, para mim, é necessário já que também utilizo o equipamento constantemente no meu receiver. O cabo tem 3m de comprimento, sendo inadequado para quem pretende usar o fone em lugares públicos, como academias e ônibus. Além disso, vem acompanhado de uma bolsa de proteção para que se transporte o fone para outros ambientes sem correr o risco de danificá-lo. Não costumo usar headphone por longos perÃodos mas, ao que me parece, ele não causa maiores incômodos para quem pretende passar horas e mais horas com o mesmo. O ajuste para a cabeça/orelhas é de fácil manuseio.Quanto à nitidez do som, percebi um equilÃbrio adequado entre graves, médios e agudos, da maneira como desejava. Pude notar algumas nuances sonoras de músicas que, mesmo conhecendo há décadas, nunca tinha reparado, inclusive em fones anteriores da JBL que tive. Talvez para quem tenha a pretensão de utilizá-lo de forma profissional, esse fone não atenda inteiramente à s expectativas, embora seja um ótimo equipamento de entrada.De uma forma geral, portanto, estou extremamente satisfeito com o investimento feito. Para quem deseja um fone de excelente qualidade com pretensões domésticas apenas, trata-se de uma ótima opção.

Het geluid is prima. Het snoer is lang genoeg en de koptelefoon lijkt stevig genoeg. Prijs- kwaliteit verhouding lijkt in orde.

Direi che la qualità giustifica pienamente il prezzo.Decisamente consigliato per chi vuole un paio di cuffie decenti ma non vuole spendere un sacco di soldi. Per un utilizzo “casual” vanno benissimo. Bassi poderosi, ottima resa del suono.Bel cavo spesso e resistente, materiali che sembrano duraturi, comode da indossare.Davvero non posso lamentarmi.
