I've owned several products from Audio Technica over the years. I still have two other head phones from them in great working condition. I have a few microphones as well.
First off, I've got a big HEAD, and I don't know what is it, but most headphones the covers for the ears always bother me, or just feels like my ears are getting squeezed. I have gotten the ear pad replacements for each set of head phones I've owned and that usually does the trick for me. I had a pair of Razer headphones some years back I couldn't wear for more then 30 minutes before I had to take them off.
After I swapped the ear covers, things were comfy. I went through a series of games, youtube music videos, and youtube pod casts/etc. The sound was good, although at times felt like I needed more bass here and there.
They can definitely bring the noise when you crank the volume up, I feel like after you hit a certain sweet spot on volume, things start to pop and come out better. I found that listening with them at lower levels I struggled at times hearing voices or certain details. (It could be my 50 year old ears...)
I liked the look and feel of them. You can fold in the ear covers, and stow them without taking up as much space. The head phone was easy to adjust, and get around my huge cranium. It came with several different cables to use to plug into the headset, pc or audio interface. I liked that, and the fact you can unplug the headset and/or change out the cables for more distance or shorter distance.
The older models of headphones I have from Audio Technica, the cable/wire would over time twist a lot, and sometimes became rigid. I had two of them break, and I had to repair them myself. The thing with this one, is you can just swap out the cable, and you're fine.
They feel sturdy, and since I replaced the ear covers already, I'm sure it will last a lot longer. I've noticed with headphones being tight on my head normally I tend to wear or rub over the faux leather padding off the ear phone covers.
All in all, pretty solid, some audiophiles will either love or hate them. I just think at this price point they do the job well, without killing your wallet.
