Audio Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 headphone review

Audio Technica ATH-ANC1 Frequent travelers have a special challenge when it's time to pick out headphones. Search 'phones with a travel-friendly design but also are comfortable and offer great sound with a certain ability to stop the noise can be difficult. Well, on a budget of $ 100 and can add, forget all these features in one package ... or maybe not. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint ANC1 can have an MSRP of $ 130, but can be found online for $ 100, and cover all the considerations before.


Headphones Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC1 are clearly designed for travelers: it is one of the most compact models in the ear, we know. Adjustable metal tape is very thin and black with a soft plastic material. You might think that the lack of padding on the tape, the bulk material is possible to eliminate the uncomfortable, it is surprising that this is not the case. While not providing the maximum comfort, the headphones are not too tight and are very light. In addition, compact headphones also impressive 1.7 inches in diameter, filled with a soft synthetic leather. The only possible drawback is that the band would not be stopped.
In the fall of each earpiece is a soft thick black cable, the combination of a base in a Y-junction, which is thick and strong. Follow-inch cable to the HUD-NC1 another 21 and you get the noise reduction module integrated. We say we're very happy with the performance of this function, because it is well positioned to cut the pocket or belt, unlike his shirt. Another cable, which measures an additional 10 "and ends with a line of gold-plated plug, is used to connect an audio device.
In addition to the noise reduction function - the case of a very simple with a battery on / off and integrated clip - Audio-Technica has some other accessories in the box. The ATH-ANC1 comes with one AAA battery, to the extent of 20 inches, an airplane adapter with two leaves and a soft case against two RV. You can also turn the headset with or without noise reduction. Not bad, considering the convenience of the road.
Even if the function is activated ATH-ANC1 very well without the noise, the sound is a bit boring 'is not found and when to play this way, but the fact is that even a decent sound without the battery. However, throw the switch makes a big difference. The music is both deeper, richer and more open. Kicky down without being intrusive, and the midrange was very warm and butter of quality we want. The high notes are amazing in detail, due to lower prices, if it is not clear enough for some listeners.
to block the ability of the ATH-ANC1, the noise, we have plenty. We try to see in a crowded bar and I'm glad a significant reduction in the endless talk about us. Moreover, these phones are not the most efficient we tested, we had to test MP3 players posted almost all classes, we want to maintain the volume, and we know not to listen to music at high level. So if you like their music is strong, is not satisfactory for you. But in general we were impressed by the level of available audio and ATH-ANC1 balance and we believe are good for those who enjoy a variety of musical genres.

Audio-Technica AD700 Headphones Review

Audio-Technica AD700 Headphones Many people underestimate the differences between open and closed headphones, the combination of the two models in a series as a sound similar. Audio-Technica has an open or closed variant of each model (the A900 and AD900), and they have a trademark sound throughout the range, often other elements do not seem more different.


Take, for example, the AD700. Many people simply look at the model and slot somewhere between the A500 and the A900 in terms of sound quality - big mistake! The AD700 is much lighter sound that really gives you a completely different sound signature.


We would like to describe as the classic AD700 headphones in this price class, but also wonderful for jazz, acoustic guitar and piano pieces. This is an open model, meaning that small, tends to be the most prosperous and powerful (in a closed model, there is no place for ECHO) to heavy metal and dance floors, fans will most likely lose strength. That is, the bass is incredibly fast and strong for this model - a case of quality over quantity - so it really depends on how you like the music sounds.


The top half and high tones are the real strengths of this model. The AD700 is one of the finest detail and the separation without spending hundreds of dollars more. Acts of the flow from one to another with a nice layer effect brings the sound of a great power (for example, orchestra). Some authors are too bright for their taste, but loved the sound.


The midrange is rich and a little hot with a nice, soft texture. Our acoustic guitar rock songs such as Patience by Guns and Roses sounded simply incredible.


The other real strength of this model is sound. To put it simply, we have not heard what as immersive as the AD700. The power and the position of the various instruments of the mind is incredible, better than almost anything we have seen in this price class (including the A900). Sound is a prerequisite for a proper listening experience. If you close your eyes and see the sound in a particular place is a long way towards the creation of the tingling spine, when we strive to listen to your favorite songs. The massive sound is also perfect for the position of audio. We found that in terms of strengthening the capitalization is not much better for games, AD700s.


The Audio-Technica AD700 Sport Classic design that has so well with this series. Large arteries and upholstered with velvet, with two wings, the filling in the rest of the top of the head. Which covers an area of two strips of plastic, quite fragile, but I'm strongly. All Audio-Technica headphones are very comfortable, and this model is no exception. How to open headphones, the cups of the AD700 only against the rest of the ear, instead, making it easier to hear, even during meetings of up to six hours. They are quite large, the streets around them wins rare look confused.


Planning for the inevitable problem of leakage of sound. The AD700s not isolate, but it is predictable. If you plan to use them in an office to invest in some earplugs for the people in your environment.

Audio-Technica ATH-CK10 Headphones Review

Audio-Technica ATH-CK10 Headphones Audio-Technica has a long history with the headphones, and now offers a wide range of styles more. Among the in-ear models, the ATH-CK10 is the top dog.


Technical seems surprisingly modest - for example, a brochure called the frequency response up to 15kHz and exceptionally low power consumption, I think that it is not sufficient to meet again, or just mistakes.


The sensor uses Dual balanced armature drivers, 'Division of the frequency range of almost (but not exclusively) on two streets in a small house in front of all three sizes of rubber speaker. Impedance is higher than most in-ear phones, with less effort on the unit, but each with some 'sensitivity to the effective reduction of most applications.


Unfussy Headphones
We were pleased to learn that this model seems relatively unfussy headphones, but a few miles to redeem. After the optimum, were rewarded with a big, rich sound seems to be something less, are less acute that many bright headphones.


At first, you can set the tone does not seem to be in the details, but it really is true: This model is capable of a great amount of detail in the full frequency range. It is a good offense and the immediacy and the image is clear and not too "in the head."


We were particularly impressed by the dynamism, the great effort and at the same time, thin area offers live music always, but often the new recordings.
Listen for a longer period, is our admiration for this model only increases: E 'is probably not so easy, but worth persevering with.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones Reviews

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones Not really sure what to expect from these devices, as it was when I saw a change. My last pair of Sony was about $ 110 or less than five to seven years. Take the M50s from the packaging, I could tell you what to impress me. Crafts and you will hear loud and clear, immediately, even if they are made of plastic, have a lot more sense to design all components. They are extremely comfortable and isolated, if de moimesureoder "I'm not hear meine daughter in the room (without sound) to the shoulder (it happened twice).

There is much room for the adjustment of the helmet and of particular interest is the fact that the glass filler can be connected to the edges to create a truly "just" good.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones  2

I have a set of Mackie monitors and trainjust that there is always a difference between the original from my phone and trainers who can not quite define. The M50s complete. The sound quality of headphones is something that one has to hear to understand. The fund simply "is" to be pronunciatoES and resspectre is very natural.

I say that if you are on the market for a headset and a sub-$ 120 price would be better for a little more for the M50s. For the price in my opinion, very useful.
