Audio-Technica ATH-ANC700BT QuietPoint Bluetooth Wireless Noise-Cancelling High-Resolution Audio Headphones, Black
- These are certainly some of the most expensive headphones I have ever bought, purely because of the reputation AudioTechnica has. They live up to this reputation though, these have superior sound quality (decent wireless too), pretty good sound canceling, they are loud (obviously can be adjusted by your listening device), they have a built in microphone, the build quality is also very nice despite looking small, they are rather heavy. These have a lot of features, I have very few bad things to say about these. Here\'s what I would say I\'m not a huge fan of in these headphones:Right Ear only has a suctionAudio cable does not support the built in microphoneI don\'t mind the suction, but for it to be comfortable, it needs to be in both. Not one or the other, the charging port in the left ear allows air to pass through the headphone unlike the right ear. It has no holes, creating a vacuum when you put it on, makes it very uncomfortable.The audio cable is a 2.5mm male to a 3.5mm L male. These only support stereo audio, no microphone. I will have to buy a cable that supports microphone to use the microphone wired (at least I believe you can use it wired, will update if you cannot). It does work over Bluetooth.Overall these headphones are pretty good, the small things that bug me I will just have to get used to.Edit after 5 months of use: (8/31/18-1/22/19)These headphones are very good headphones. They aren\'t a flashy gaming headset, which I like. They have very good build quality, the only damage is cosmetic, the screw paint to be specific. The sound quality, and peak sound levels remain the same as when I first purchased it. It still has a soft but good grip when I wear them. The leather on the ear cuffs and headband are undamaged. I have not had any issues I couldn\'t resolve, the ones I did have are: Sound quality for the microphone is not great, especially over a wire. The right ear cuff has suction that the left ear does not. Which bugged the hell out of me, so I drilled a small hole in the right ear cuff to relieve the pressure. This works great, I think if another iteration of these headphones were to be made, they could seal the left ear cuff. This would increase the sound levels and decrease outside noise, helping the noise canceling.If you are willing to pay a premium for headphones and deal with the suction in the right ear (or manage like I did), these headphones will suite you well. There are cheap microphone options that can be added (V-MODA BoomPro Microphone). When I bought these headphones, they were $200, they have dropped a little since, but in my opinion would still be worth the $200 premium. Though there are alternatives, there are some features I could not sacrifice for less.Edit after 15 months of use: (8/31/18-11/24/19)After over a year of use these things have seen it all, dropped then, yanked the cord out and yet are still going strong. I have noticed an unusual in-balance in the audio output in the left ear cup, other than that they still sound great. Obvious quite a bit of cosmetic wear, but not as much as you may think. The leather has de-graded because I had bug spray in my hair when wearing them once. I suggest cleaning any unusual chemicals out of your hair before wearing them.
- I\'ve had these headphones for about a year. I bought them for casual day to day listening, handsfree driving, and then for doing mixing when I\'m not around my studio monitors, as I am an audio engineer. The only thing these things do well is casual day to day listening, but even then, there are drawbacks. They are comfortable enough to listen to for hours, but I don\'t think I\'d listen to them for that long.The noise cancellation doesn\'t really do very much at all. It maybe eliminates low hum, but only up to certain volumes. It allows you to hear the bass frequencies in the music more clearly...but clearly is not really the correct word here. It opens them up in a very weird way. Not at all accurate for mixing.For day to day listening, I expected these headphones to be pretty great sound wise, especially for audio technica. But for some reason there is a bump in the upper mids that gives everything a weird honk. I wasn\'t expecting super flat response from headphones not designed around mixing, but to have that frequency range as prominent as it is, is pretty weird.The mic on these headphones is utter garbage. Every single call I answered with this had comments of voice echo in the signal, as well as just not being able to hear me well. Could never finish a call with the headphones on. Always had to switch to phone mic.The touch mechanics on the headphones are not that great either. The easiest feature to use is volume up or down by tapping on the top or bottom of the left can. However, this is easily confused with pause by tapping the center. I want to pause, but I tap up or down, or if I slide it skips or goes to previous track. It\'s not easy to be accurate. Physical buttons are such a better idea.Then, the annoyances. There are quite a few. When the battery gets low, there is an audio cue that is very very annoying. It plays quite frequently until the battery is dead. There is a constant rattling sound coming from the left can, specifically accompanying bass frequencies. People have said it may be from the noise cancelling system, but it didn\'t start until a few months in. Something must have broken in the can itself.Makes myself think how did I pay that much for these headphones when other headphones I owned in this price range sounded better, had a better mic, and could take more of a beating. I don\'t think the noise cancellation does much good at all.There is one good thing about these headphones, and it\'s that you can use them passively if you use a cable. It takes a 3.5mm jack, which is annoying, but it at least comes with a short 3.5mm to 1/8th\" cable.
