Incredible Open-Back Headphones for the Price Point

Reviewed in Australia on 12 October 2020

Style: ATH-AD700XVerified Purchase

I've now been using these headphones for about a few months. Coming from the Astro A40 gaming headset, which is priced quite expensive, I couldn't believe how much more quality I got from the ATH-AD700X's considering the cheaper price point, but hey, that's just open-back headphones for you! I play a variety of FPS games and these headphones never disappoint when it comes to hearing the smallest details in game that determine winning a gunfight or just enjoying the details of other games. The only downside of having a wider soundstage on open-back headphones is that bass will be reduced, which impacts the experience of listening to music/games with bass. The quality of it is very solid, no signs of deterioration overtime in terms of sound quality and build quality, but of course that just depends on how well you take care of them. They're extremely comfortable, however, if you have a small-medium sized head, you may need to use a rubber band to keep the wings of the headphones together because if you don't, they'll just slide off to the sides of your head. It's not something that bothers me but it could for others. The cable is also considerably long and could look messy depending on how it's managed. If I do have the need to buy another pair of headphones, it'll definitely have to be open-back headphones again, especially from Audio-Technica as their products are considerably high-end for the low price point.

While it lacks bass...The mids and highs are very clear and detailed

Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2020

Style: ATH-AD700XVerified Purchase

Lacks bass, great clarity, detail and wide soundstage. Great for gaming and the music I listen to personally(Instrumental and vocal) Using an EQ can boost bass to make it a have some presence without affecting quality much.

Really good for directional hearing. It works even better than my 500$ in-ear HiFi headphone in game, because of the huge soundstage. Definitely better than those Gaming Headsets out there (If you dot mind to have a separate mic or Modmic).

Awsome

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2016

Style: ATH-AD500XVerified Purchase

Decided to write a review on these as im so impressed with them. They are the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned , the design of the 3D wings is a clever idea, they sit to each side if your head with gentle pressure that you hardly notice. For a large headphone they are very lightweight and can be worn for ages with no problems at all. The huge ear cups fit around your ears in a cozy soft fabric covered foam that does not make you sweat like the plasticky type fabric used on other brands.
The sound as immense presence due to the 54mm drivers, when switching to these from my other headphones I have to turn the volume down they are so powerful .They handle a broad range of sound that tends to favour the bass end a little, but are quite capable dealing with the high notes. I have heard notes that I have never heard before with my other cheaper brands.
I would recommend these to those of you that like pop, rock, trance and modern dance music as they can really handle lots of bass if that's your thing.

Great for gaming, but cost way more than what they're worth

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2018

Style: ATH-AD500XVerified Purchase

These headphones are way overpriced.

The build quality, whilst very lightweight, feels rather cheap. They also do not have a removable cable, which is a big downside. And even worse, the cable is permanently trying to coil itself back up to the way it was packaged. And the cable doesn't feel that strongly attached to the headphones - and i fear with an accidental yank, you could easily tear out the cable, rendering the headphones useless.

In regards to sound quality, i put my ~7 year old Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm headphones to rest, after a good amount of service life out of them. And comparing the audio quality of those, to these Audio Technicas? They are a big drop in audio quality. It doesn't sound so clear, or crisp compared to my DT 990's. However the audio is still slightly better than those budget £30 - £35 headphones companies try to sell off as "premium gaming headphones".

The main selling point of these, is the soundstage. Due to the design, directional audio is VERY good, and far better than any 7.1 headsets i've tried. It helps a lot with gaming, particularly FPS games. Also very nice for ASMR videos, providing you are in a quiet environment - as the open design does allow a lot of sound to both escape, and enter.

These should not be sold for higher than £45 - £50 imo.

Genuine High Quality On A Budget

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019

Style: ATH-AD500XVerified Purchase

These Audio Technica AIR series ATH AD500X have, in the past, set the standard by which I assess the quality of any other headphone/s that I am likely to buy.
I thought I had seen a reference to Audio Technica being about to render these ("butterfly wing") type headsets as either obsolescent or obsolete, and consequently I started researching to check out the current availability of this model (ATH AD500X).
The current price is still hugely discounted by Amazon and is still available at just under £99 and yesterday I went to my local Morrisons' Doddle counter to pick up my new headphones that are intended as a reserve in case my original set suffers anything serious from loss to accident.
I checked out that all was well with this set, and as they sounded exactly as my original set, I felt no need to examine any further when I already knew this model to be the best quality headset that I am likely to afford. As I have said previously, hearing is a particularly subjective characteristic., and it may be a safe bet that no two people will ever hear the same sourced music (or sounds) in exactly the same, identical way.
There are many other headphones available that offer qualities of pure, natural sound, at many times the price I paid for these. For my ears... and the way that I like to hear the sounds I enjoy, I am happy to consider with certainty that these ATH AD500X series are quite close enough to real, respectable hi-fi for me to be content for the rest of my time.
And I also know for certain that my 'listening comfort' is assured as I have not yet found any other headset with both the AD500X's audio performance AND its sustained 'comfort' ability.

Aftet a month of use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2016

Style: ATH-AD500XVerified Purchase

Brought these for gaming with the antlion mic, after using them for a month I cannot picture going back to gaming headsets. Very comfortable though I have a narrow head so had to squeez the arch in a little for them to be firm but that is/was expected from reviews I had already seen. I can use these constantly for hours, with my razor closed headset I was comfortable for a little over an hour.

Sound is very good more focused on treble but bass was better than expected for an open set and either got better with use or I got used to it.

I can recommend for most music but not for you if you are heavy bass focused.

Good but not perfect

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2016

Style: ATH-AD500XVerified Purchase

I'm not an audiophile but I can say that the clarity of these headphones is far better than anything I've previously had. The open backs mean the sound stage is excellent and they are extremely light and very comfortable. Only two downside that I've noticed:

1. The 3D wing support is rubbish. It's not strong enough to support the headphones on your head properly, if you shake your head or body the headphones will slip down off your ears. There are workarounds such as attaching some elastic between the wings which will stop them spreading to far but when you are paying £113 for something you don't expect to need to implement workarounds to get it functioning correctly.
2. The bigger problem though is the fixed cable. As others have commented on, the cable quality is not great and you can't change it out. No matter how much I try, I cannot get the cable straightened out, it has a habit of trying to curl itself back up which is irritating enough on its own but it's also quite long and there's no way of shortening it without having a coiled up cable lying around.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase but some minor design flaws stop this being a 5 star review.
