 "Great Product" 2009-11-30

These headphones were a gift for my 19 yr old son. He absolutely loved them, said he couldn't have picked out a better pair himself.

 "Great for Analog Music" 2009-11-28
By JohnnyC (Indianapolis, Indiana)
I have an extensive collection of reel-to-reel tapes form the 70's and 80's. These headphones bring out the full range of the music unlike digital which uses compression. Very worth getting if you need full range sound.

 "Haven't had long, but already in love!" 2009-11-21
By Lady of Reviews
I just got these headphones in today, but I have to say that I'm already enamored with them.



First off, these are one of the few studio headphones I've tried that are small enough to fit the head of a woman. My husband had recently purchased a pair of Sony MDR-V600s, and when I attempted to wear them at their smallest setting the bottom of the cans rested on the middle of my jawbone, causing extreme discomfort across my jaw and temples after only a couple minutes wearing. NOT SO with the ATH-M40fs. Their smallest setting is just slightly too small, making them a perfect fit!



Not only that, but I wear glasses. Finding headphones that allow me to wear my glasses comfortably (without either pressing them against my temples or against the ridge of my ear) is nigh impossible. These are very comfortable.



They do create a very small pinching sensation, but it seems like the feeling will pass once they've been broken in. They feel just a little heavy, but considering I've only ever worn the lightweight cheap-o headsets in the past, this is just something to get used to! Compared to the Sony MDR-V600s, they feel lighter on my head than the Sonys.



In comparison to the Sonys, the M40fs seem a little "muddled." The sound is not bad at all and is very clear, and will probably get better as they burn in, but the sounds from the Sonys is extremely crisp - which is more suitable for trying to hear tiny details (awesome for things like translating). This pair of Audio Technicas is no stranger to details, however! I'm currently listening to music (and enjoying hearing bass through headphones for the first time ever!) and hearing new details such as a thunderstorm added to the end of a song, that I had never heard before! And to think, the person who made the song is my good friend, and I had still never known it was there until now.



So, for the moment, I will be rating these the highest possible. As time goes on, I will report whether my love for these is lost, or continues with more passion through the years. As of this very moment, I'm considering buying a pair for every person in my family.

 "Worth the $$" 2009-11-18
By Rehab Shopper (SW Florida)
I purchased a set of Bose headphones about a year ago and that's about how long they lasted. One day I put them on and the left speaker would not work. I paid well over $100 for them. The Technica set is great. They are much more comfortable on my head and the sound is nice considering the price tag. I am still afraid to really kick up the volume for fear of blowing a speaker. I use them every day on my treadmill. Would recommend this product.

 "Incredible Entry Level product for budding Audiophiles" 2009-11-18
By F. W. Schaefer (St. Paul, MN)
As a recent entrant into the world of audiophilia, I purchased these after reading hundreds of great reviews.

This was the first pair of headphones I paid more than $20 for and it was an incredible difference in both music enjoyment and headphone comfort. I've gone on 8-10 hour listening binges and they're still comfortable.



I went with studiophones because I use these in a typically high-noise environment. If you plan to use your headphones to enjoy extremely high quality reproduction in a quiet environment where no one else will be bothered by audio spill, consider the ATH-AD700 Open-Air Headphones. They cost a little more (still far cheaper than competitors), but having listened to a friend's open-air headphones, it's even more enjoyable, though only if the environment is right.



I only hope you haven't encoded all your CD's to less than 192kbps mp3s, because they will sound terrible now. I had to go about re-ripping to FLAC and have been experimenting with V0 mp3 rips with good success, though at the cost of significant hard drive space.



One thing to note: the relatively high impedance (60ohms) is too high for your standard audio system's headphone output, laptop, or digital music player. You will definitely want a headphone amp, and it definitely makes a difference. I'd recommend looking into the cMOY DIY design, as you can purchase pre-made versions for a very reasonable price.
