Introduction
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 shouldn’t 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.

$65.633Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
