Audio Technica ATH MSR7 Headphones

Lauren Dragan has posted a review of the Audio Technica ATH MSR7 headphones ($250) at Sound and Vision. His conclusions:

“Acoustic guitars and strings (especially celli) have depth to their body, and live recordings have a sense of space, as do movie soundtracks. The only instance where the Q can sound a bit overdone is when the bass is already pumped up in a song, as often happens in hip-hop and electronic music. Those who prefer a tighter bass might notice a slight bleed from the bassline into the mids. That said, brass are reigned in by the extra high-end detail, and so don’t suffer the same fate as boosted synth-created wave envelopes.”
