Ratings & Specs

The Audio-Technica ATH-A700 headphones are on-ears intended for use with your home sound system. The cable is long and covered with a woven-cloth casing, so it should be safe stretched across your room. There's also a 1/4-inch adapter included to accommodate all stereo systems.

Like fellow homebodies, the Pioneer SE0A100s and the Sennheiser HD 555s, the Audio-Technica ATH-A700 headphones shouldnt' leave the house. They have very poor isolation and leakage control and they're not even particularly portable to begin with.

Assuming you keep them inside, they'll offer some low-distortion playback for $300.

Section	The Good	The Bad
Tour & Design	Interesting aesthetic, seem durable.	Will look silly on a layperson, bulkier than average.
Performance	Very, very low distortion, good maximum volume output.	Average to below average performance on every other test.
In Use	Very comfortable, long cord, can disassemble .	Not portable, not many customization options.
Value & Comparisons	They have much lower distortion than we typically see.	You can find better headphones for less money.
