Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These are the Audio-Technica ATH-Pro5 V headphones, and boy they sound nice. They have a flat response, and clear vocals. The description is somewhat misleading. The bass isn't powerful and deep as you will expect, it's flat. Meaning it tries to replicate accurate sound as it was recorded, not adding bass enhancement. Even so, if your looking for bassy headphones, these aren't them. They do produce fairly accurate bass. Are very portable, and extremely light weight.
After calling Audio-Technica for a chat they said their ATH-D40fs model is the only model with it's bass enhanced, (not to be confused with the superior ATH-M40fs). It depends what your looking for. Most recording artists will want a flat response. While casual at home listeners will mostly prefer the enhanced sound when watching movies, playing video games, etc.
Personally I prefer the bass as it was intended. But I can see the some preferring a deeper bass than these produce.
On the severe negative side; these hurt after wearing them for about 1hr.
They pinch my ears badly, and it really freaking hurts!
The manufacturers product description says they are a circumaural design, but the pads touch my ears! And the pads are also very flat, less than half an inch from the padding that covers the speaker driver. I don't think I would even consider these semi-circumaural, but thats really what they are considered by other headphone manufacturers.
IMO I feel they should remove the circumaural labeling on this product. You won't get what you expect.
But the sound that comes out of these is really great!
When I called up Audio-Technica, I asked if they had something with the design I wanted (complete over the ear circumaural) with sound rivaling or better then these Pro5 V's. They recommended the M40fs's, and I went with that choice...WOW, how right they were! The comfort level is spectacular, and the sound uncompromising.
