    This headset was definitely as good as reviews said they were! The sound is so crisp as well as the bass.

    I like this headset but I think it could have some more "oomph" considering the price you pay. The bass seems a bit flat but its comfortable and produces clear audio. Storage is easy since you can fold it and the different cable options that comes with it is a plus. I use the non tangled spiral one. I also love the fact that I can disconnect the cable. All in all very good but if you are looking for heavy bass, I'd say look elsewhere.

    Excellent true sound, very comfortable fit on the ears. I've initially got them for work, but since transitioned to listen to music and watch shows on my computer. The only drawback is the proprietary 3.5mm port, which means you are stuck with the provided cables - or have to buy them from the Audio-Technica directly in case one gets damaged.

    Easy to use and comfortable. Highs and mids fine, needs a bit more low punch.

    The price for these headphones with the amazing sound quality that you get is unrivaled. I've been using these for years and do a decent job mixing audio with them for work.

    My third pair - wore the pads off them. That would be my only gripe - make the ear pads harder wearing. Great sound - rival way more expensive ones.

    Love these headphones! Use them for producing at home. Also I used them to get through my audio engineering school and they worked amazing. The headphones come with a carrying bag and many extra cables with 1/4 and 3.5mm. They receive a good range of frequency required for the higher end tasks!

    Nice sound for a $125 dollar pair of headphones. Always bought Sennheisers, but quality seems to have dropped. A year of everyday use in, and these are holding up like new. Solid pair of everyday headphones

    I did a lot of research before buying this set. Initially, I was set on buying a Bose set, but with a little bit of digging around on Internet (Amazon, YouTube, Best Buy, B&h photo video etc), this set emerged as a clear winner for good value overall. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. It is a very well built set and sounds even better. It's so good that you will hear stuff that you would normally miss on an average headphone. Bass is lacking but I don't care as I want to listen music as the composer intended it to be, not what a headphone company thinks is better (beats etc)

    THE HYPE IS RIGHT

    So I've always seen these headphones discussed on production forums and never took the plunge until now. These cans sound pristine and are comfortable. I've also owned some other great headphones in the past including the V-Moda LP2, KRK and Senal. I loved them all, but these are crystal clear and dynamic, yet in transparent way. I am listening to Arca's new album on them as I write this review and every nuance and detail is delivered in spades.I am hoping to produce some tracks at night on these. Don't dismiss the hype....everyone was right!

    Great sound, but intermittent short

    Bought these back in November and they sound great, very respectable bass, and quite comfortable. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. However, after about 5 or 6 months, they developed an intermittent short of some kind in the left channel. It comes and goes, but can usually be remedied by unplugging the phono jack at headset and reconnecting it. Very annoying and quite irritating considering their cost.

    Clarity with a clean bass and overall exciting sound. If you are more concerned about comfort on your ears then sound quality, (even though this feels pretty good on your ears, maybe not the absolute best), I would do a little more research. Overall I think in my opinion it is a beast!
