If you have a headphone that clamps to strong put them claps across the box for about 2 weeks it saves you braking them in just a tip for you

are they still working? how much do you use them?

@Alex Rowe did everything smooth out after awhile?

.

I too hope for my plane's non-disappearance. I might just get the Momentum for reference again one day. There is a 24/7 bunga bunga party happening in my hotel but I'm not invited.

Spectacular Mind So how are they?... After a year...

I loved them but sold them due to not using them (i'm not really the Closed Back guy). But they're definitley worth the price and sometimes i regret selling them. They are very very good!

Spectacular Mind Thanks for your reply. I've used closed back headphones at my school before and the design didn't bother me so much. Will definitely buy a pair very soon!

Calabi-Yau Manifold You won't regret it ;) If you've any further questions feel free to ask.

Spectacular Mind Hey, can't decide, should I get the Plantronics Backbeat PRO 2, Or should I go for the MSR7's?

PhaseOfFact So far the clamping force has only loosened slightly. Of more concern is the hot spot that I get on the top of my head after about 2/3+ hours of wear...

***** I see, guess it's a matter of getting use to or loosening them over time. As for the hot spot, I didn't feel it mainly because I only had them on for around 20 minutes or so. I'm going to try them both out once more, then pull the trigger sometime next week. I didn't notice the negatives about the cable too much until you mentioned them, I'll take a look at that next time I head to the shop. Thanks for the video review, it was very informative~

Antonio Alvarez I tried it today, it was quite nice!

You will see Broadway everywhere don't worry!

mdr-1a

Mdr 1a for music listening, m50x for studio use

Mikey Dee I would recommend the m40x over the m50x. M40x has a more neutral sound which is needed for mixing.

How about the gameplay

Try some graphite (pencil). In case you're unable to reach the spot, grind it to a powder and add it to the squeaky part. You're welcome :)

I taped up foam where there is a rubber pad on the hinge. This can get sticky over time and often touches the earcup and it makes sticky and creaking sounds. The foams greatly reduce creaking although the hinge itself may still creak occasionally.

crazygalaxy231 If you prefer around-ear, I reckon you should try the NAD Viso HP50. But if that's not your style, the M50X is a decent all-rounder. I find the MSR7 less comfy than the M50X. Something super comfortable, go the MDR-1A.

***** thanks for the suggestions. ill definitely check them out and thanks for the quick reply

***** I have the HP50, very comfortable and great sound also. I also had GRADO si 325 and sold them when I bought the HP50. I think the viso are better.

msr7 - Fun neutral m70x - Uncompromising true neutral

MSR7s are superior due to the bigger drivers. Although at this point I'd recommend you wait for the MSR7b to launch. They'll be an improvement over the big MSR7. I own the MSR7 and a pair of MSR7SE which use the new 2017 drivers and I can tell you the improvements with the 2018 successor will be worth the wait (if you haven't bought anything yet).

How would you describe the sound of the IM70? I'm considering buying them.

Bradford Thornton I'm not sure what you've heard before, because I can compare them to other headphones, but to describe them on their own? I'd call them "aggressively neutral" with a bit of boosted bass and treble, much like the M50/M50x. They sound very similar to the UE Super.fi 5/UE600 as well, but with _much_ more low-frequency oomph, better and more detailed highs and less forward mids.

Corinn Heathers I think the IM70 is more mid-forward than the M50x, less v-shaped - IMO highs are almost rolled off unless you take of the filters or use wide-bore tips. It might be more similar to the MSR7 in terms of signature (I only tried them briefly)

Corinn Heathers I hav ethe IM50, and i think its the very best for my main genre of music (anisong) with most are female vocal. but i sometiemes still get the feeling of unnatural in acoustics music... and not really recommending it for movie, especially with it's mid forward signature. I use my M40x for out of house movie watching.

+Corinn Heathers The Sony MDR-100AAP (h.ear on) has a similar bass and treble to the IM70, but I found it lacking in the midrange, even compared to the M50x (which already wasn't known for its midrange). It's still a good choice if you can get it for under 200$ and it's more comfortable than the M50 or the MSR7 (I decided to get the MSR7 though as I wanted something with more sharpness in the midrange and highs).

Karlo Krapec mdr 1A , unless you're a masochist that likes to be in the middle of 0 sound stage .

Yes.

Random observation, but yes. I see it too.

Would love to hear your thoughts, coming from the V-6 and moving to the MSR-7. I'm a bit worried about the harsh highs. I do really like listening to mid heavy and high heavy songs, however all listening would be indoor, at moderate volumes.

Same situation here

+Jan Peter van Irsel it seems like out of the two in the video the sony would be the best. if you liked the sound of your ue 6000

No but I have been meaning to try the M40x for some time!

I'd be cool with sending you mine to test.

I actually have the Ath M40x and they are awesome. They are flat studio headphones and with a decent amp (Fiio E6) they will play music off a phone pretty freaking awesome. Im not sure about it sounding like the MSR7 but they are excellent sounding headphones and for under $100 I would definitely get them (and i did)

Sony claims its hi-res but i think the ath-m40x is much suited for this term. If you listen to the orchestral music with 192khz 24-bit, Clarity is superb.

+Lee Yew, Tan How does the Bass Boost sound?

Hey, thanks for the info :D I've read a lot of good reviews about the ad900x, one of my friend who's currently working at Jaben actually recommend me the ad1000x for games, movies and musics but since I would want to travel around with them and like what you said, they're not really the "outgoing" type of headphone >< am currently in dilemma on which to pick haha, they just wont allow us to have all the pros eh :)

StrawKid Glad to hear that you like it :) just ordered mine and will be arriving today, can't wait to try them out before and after burning in :D

Py T Not really any more comfortable. To be honest I don't really recommend either just because I don't think the MSR7 comfortable and I found the MDR-1A isolates dismally. I prefer the sound of the MSR7 but in the end neither made my favourites list.

Thanks for the tips!

i got the msr7 recently, and i stretched the head band a little, just like what i used to do with es7, and just after a few days it actually feels much better! at least it feels very secure, and the sound is much more spacious and crispier than sony's

+lachlanlikesathing What is your list then ? :)

I haven't heard it! It looks nice though.

I have the K702, the soundstage is massive, vocals sound decent, and the treble is on point. Although it can get fatiguing at times.

i have the k7xx its the honest akg answer to the various short comings of the akg 7 series...a few twists and turns from, all of the models imo. The foam covered outer caps implemented in the 702 annie for im guessing less leak and inclinations to bass isolation though its open backed....what the k7xx has shown over the 712 and 702 is the implemented foam additions in the inner lining between the earcup and the driver itself. Though for 200$ the high density memory foam earcups, the biggest stage AKG has to offer at the 7 series is quite nice. I wouldnt say that the overall sound signature is as good as the 702 annies though again with the price comparison the 7xx is very value driven. The audio playback is a sound signature ive grown to seek in most headphones, an appearance of neutral but with a necessary bass boost that most reference headphones lack due to the ideal reference headphone being as neutral as possible...does it make them ideal for most no...but again i find that reference headphones though as a quality stand point of pure unmolested playback is nice i still find them lacking in bass so its almost as if akg knew this and went heres a not to be taken seriously depiction of what youve been seeking. The k7xx stands out to me highly in gaming due to the vast sound stage, as well as generally neutral sound with that bolstered bass that shines out in explosions and gun play. Also when watching movies the immersion is highly apparent and sounds like engines in car chases or glass shattering is spot on. Vocal playback in videos like these is also animated in a proper fashion that i find ideal. The k7xx might not be everyones cup of tea but if you find that various AKG options fall short than the K7xx is your bet as its obvious akg attempted to make a more "fun" headphone where the 3db bass boost is implied to distract from its short comings. With all of the bells and whistles that the k712 and 702 annies contain while being priced near the q701s. Above all they score very high in the comfort area, i wear thick glasses so this was a high regard for me. They are also rated at 62 ohms so they dont entirely require an uber setup to run and IMO benefit from more transparent sounding amp/dac setups. For an open backed design its nice to have the presence of bass and a near neutral sound signature im not going to vouch that these should be regarded as ideal reference headphones, but more as reference headphones that were made into ideal headphones if you can see what im saying.
