I replaced a pair of Sennheiser HD-433's head phones with these and couldn't be happier. Good sound insulating from out side and they work well as a studio reference not coloring the sound.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
if you are planning on using these over 20 minutes, dont buy them. they cause extreme pain on and around the ears. i have normal shaped ears. no position stops them from hurting. the sound quality is decent, but defiantly not worth the discomfort. and wow, ive only used these about 5 times, and the wire is already messing up and only playing out of one ear. i have never been so disatisfied with a headphones in my life. this is something i would expect out of dollar tree headphones, not headphones advertised for use in recording.

After having the urge to have some quality headphones and searching for the best bang for my buck, it left me with the Audio Technica ATH-M30. I compare and contrasted all the headphones around the price range of these (and even up to $100) and I'm glad I chose these. Now, I am no audiophile and I have no other (over the ear) headphones to compare these to, but I must say that they are very comfortable and my music has so much depth. The music across the whole spectrum is just so much more lively. The bass is smooth and deep, but don't expect them to thump like subwoofers. The cord is something like 15' long, and the connectors are of great quality!
I bough these because my old Sennheiser 360 Pros broke. I found these for a good price and wanted to try them out ans I had heard good things about the brand. The sound quality is great and I can definitely say it is a good upgrade from what I was using before. The cord is strong and the connector is very sturdy. The only bad thing about these headphones is that they hurt my ears for a few days of use. Eventually I got used to them, but expect ear pain at first.
While I am not an audiophile nor a studio engineer or recording musician, I can tell the difference when bass is too strong or the high-end is screeching too much. These ATH-M30 headphones provide great clarity and are perfect for my needs. I haven't used headphones in many years, relying primarily on ear buds because they were "more convenient" when I needed them. However, I had never found ear buds that I was truly happy with. The closest has been the Philips ActionFit SHQ1000/28 In-Ear Headphones which provide pretty good quality sound for what they are but they are still inside my ear. Thus my quest began to find headphones that did not cost a fortune, produce good sound, and are comfortable for long periods of time. I read a lot of reviews and queried my friends. I ended up with these AudiTechnica cans and have not looked back. The sound quality is very good. They are certainly not as good as the Bose headphones my friend owns but they are (at the price I paid) a fraction of the cost and he needs the quality that Bose delivers. I simply need something that sounds good, providing a good balance between bass, and the mid- and high-range, does not distort the sound if I want to crank it up a bit, and is comfortable. These do fit that bill. I must say that I hardly feel that I am wearing these due to their light weight and the nearly perfect fit over my ears. In addition the noise cancelling works very well. My primary uses are with my: Lenovo G570 laptop when traveling or away from home; Kindle Fire HD 7" Dual-Band Wi-Fi when traveling; and, Lenovo IdeaCentre K410 Desktop while at home working or editing photos. I do on occasion use these with my TV. I have a few hundred of my favorite tunes loaded on my computers and Kindle and the music covers every genre performed. The cans work extremely well with my TV, laptop and pc, not as well with my Kindle, but passable. And really the only time I use them with my Kindle is during a flight. The sound (and noise cancelling) work well while in the air. While they do not fold up like some others do they easily fit in my backpack and I simply keep the cord wound and secured. I appreciate that there is only one cord going into the phones on one side and the fact that they are thick. These were a couple of other key points that assisted my final purchase decision. There were many reviews about headphones where the cords were thin and the owners ended up trashing them due to damage. Would I have paid the $100+ MSRP? I doubt it. Though I am not sure what I would have ended up with were these not priced below $50. Glad I don't have to worry about that. Thus, to sum it up, I definitely recommend these for anyone who wants a quality made comfortable product but who does not want to spend a small fortune on cans that will provide, in most cases, a good consistent sound quality across the boards, i.e., for any genre of music. Giving them 4 stars because I have heard my friend's Bose which are definitely 5 star.Read full review
