The Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 headphones might not be able to square up to Beats in the fashion department, but they manage to hit out where it matters and that's sound quality; You'll find the headphones come with redesigned 45mm drivers that punch out top-notch quality, and impressively ensconce...

With top notch sound quality, there's not too much to complain about the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 headphones; While their styling might not be for everyone, as they are a little on the bland side, but when they sound as good as they do it doesn't matter too much.

Audio-Technica's ATH-MSR7 SonicPro High-Resolution Over-Ear Headphones ($250) claim to produce

We've been seeing over-ear headphones rain from the skies over the last couple of years, as one of the fastest expanding areas in tech. With new names entering the fold, the long-time established brands, such as Audio-Technica, are fighting back with kit from their every corner.

Excellent neutral audio; comfortable to wear for hours at a time; solid build quality; excellent price point

Would prefer less prominent branding (including the "left/right" markings); mid-high push less natural

These are sylish headphones and the sound quality is superb across the range not too much bass which to me is great as after listening for a while with others my ears start to hurt but these are just right.

Excellent headphones! Superb audio and built quality. Crisp and clear sound, best for Rock / classical music. Not recommended for bass lovers.

So I was looking to pick up so new hi-end headphones... did my research on the blogs/cnet/etc... these came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. 2 words... "Holy Moly!" these things sounds amazing.

Visit the store; it's an experience only nerds would appreciate. The headphones were on sale for $[$]off original price. Great customer service at B&H. The girl was so nice and really knew all the technical specs of the headphones I was looking for.

The sound quality is very nice; great mix of high and low ends with a clarity that you can't achieve with other Over-Ears at this price range

There are no extra ear cups for when the current ones get worn out; meaning that you either have to buy new ones or be contempt with indented ear cups

I use these headphones in recording music and mastering the recordings. I have used many other high end headphones, including other models of this brand. I prefer these headphones to all others because the sounds are clearly heard and no particular frequencies are emphasized.
