 I'm In Awe. June 17, 2008
Holy**** these things sound fan-****ing-tastic! Wow, wow, and more wow. I don't even know what to say. Anyone who decides to get these will soon realize they just made a very wise decision.
Keep in mind they are pretty big, and you'll need a 1/4" to 1/8" stereo adapter if you want to use them with computers and Mp3 players, but those "drawbacks" are easily overlooked because they are AMAZING. They are also extremely comfortable -- actually that's an understatement -- you can hardly even feel them on your head, and what is there feels like a pillow. I am going to immensely enjoy listening to every thing on my computer with these babies, I might even try out some .flac files now.
Good Stuff May 28, 2008
I was looking for some really good headphones and so I bought these. When I first used them they were really good they keep out the noise. The sound is really good they have been better than other headphones I have used.
 Excelent sound, very good isolation May 22, 2008
A very nice flat bass. But that is the kind of bass I prefer. I bought them so that I can listen to my ipod when I work in the shop. We have a noisy vacuum system and great isolation is important. Haven't actually got to rate that part yet because I haven't worked in the shop lately. Great sound though. I can hear musical details that I had no idea were even there! Comfortable too. I'd give it 5 stars, but I think that there may be a product out there that is even nicer. But for the price, this is damn hard to beat.
Excellent for Edrums May 14, 2008
I have not used headphones for a long time to listen to music and after searching all the edrum sites, these fit the recommended specs and were reasonably priced. I'm using them with a Pintech E Jam kit with a DTXpress IV module and they are excellent for this purpose. I have not tried them to listen to music yet, but based on the other reviews I would not expect an issue.
Not the best for everyone May 9, 2008

In my continued quest for the best reasonably-priced closed headphones, I acted on the other Amazon reviews (and those from another site) and bought these. They might be the best headphones for certain applications (e.g. studio work where a very flat response is extremely important), but for my purposes they are inferior to two other choices: Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil, which I prefer for listening at home, and Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones, which I prefer for commuting. The Sony phones sound better to me, they are lighter and smaller, and cord management is better. The sound of Sennheisers is somewhat inferior to the Audio Technicas, but again they are smaller and lighter, cord management is much better, and they are much cheaper so I'm not as concerned about losing/breaking them while commuting. Finally, the large-size plug on the Audio Technicas is a problem both because I've had to buy an adapter, the plug/adapter combination is very bulky, and the size/weight of the combination has actually led me to break a headphone receptacle on one of my mp3 players. Finally the Audio Technicas require a higher signal level input for a given volume relative to the Sony phones or the Sennheiser phones, which could be a problem for some portable players. (I guess I am in a very small minority using closed-ear phones for portable audio, but nevertheless...) With all of this said, the construction of the Audio Techicas is probably the best of the three, again arguing for their use in a "production" environment. In sum, definitely recommended as long as your use fits with their strong points - which for me is not the case.
