*****

Audio-Technica never stop improving their studio grade products even they have the respectable "ATH-M40FS" in their arsenal.

This ATH-Pro700 packed with tons of new technologies and the sound is a leap forward ahead of its competitors.

With ultra wide frequency response of 5Hz-33kHz form its 53mm neodymium drivers.
This headphones have power handling capacity of gigantic 3,500mW while easy to drive with 36 Ohm impedance and SPL of 105dB/mW.

Bass is deep and details but not interfere with other ranges while overall clarity is exceptional.
Mid are great and high also great.
It seems as if nothing can escape from this headphones.

Someone said this headphones is good for both professionals and audiophiles. (if those audiophile can accept the lesser comfort of the studio headphones)

Built of this headphones looks so durable and well prepared for rugged environment on the field service.
It can be packed into a small and compact shape to put into a leather pouch for easy carrying.

This headphones is also a valuable tools for the sound engineer and musician alike.
For those musician you can use this studio monitor as if you are a scientist using microscope to analyse the technique of the great musicians.
Revelation of technique of great artist are stunning even on the great pianists such as Horowitz, Richter, Gieles, Arrau, Bolet, Pletnev, Pogolerich, Lang Lang, etc.
Details of the art of great guitarist ie. Steve Vai and Yngwie J. Malmsteen on this headphones is a real confirmation of how great they are.

What is wrong about the description in Amazon about this headphone is the type of this headphone whidh says it is "Open-Air" type.

Actually it is a Closed one.

At the back behind the hinge on each side it have only 8 small pressure release holes of which 5 of 8 is covered with acoustic filter.

Since it is a Close type headphone so it is more suitable for both studio and loud environment.

Only drawback thing in this headphones is the size of its cup.
Ear cups are quite small.
Eventhough it can cover most of people's ear but some with bigger earlobe will face some problem.

Overall : This is a great headphone. It is the "Professional" among the professional headphones.
