The first thing I did after reaching home with that package is to change to a comfortable pair of pants after which I immediately started to open my pre-christmas present. It is really a beauty, the design. Supposedly this is due to the reason that I have spent freaking 87 bucks for this piece, my first and probably going to be last pair of cans.
So anyway, right now as I am blogging away, I am listening to my favourite singer 張懸 with this new pair of cans. I could feel her singing right beside my ears... It is beauty not just the external design, but the sound that it is producing right now. The song 討人厭的字never sounded like this before. I was mesmerized, still, right at this moment. Finally I can really understand why they songs of Dessert are suitable for the night.
Technically, when I first tested out ATH-ES7 in an audiophile shop in Manhattan was a bit disappointing, mainly due to the poor connection which produced a lot of noise for the music. Secondly, the music played was not really a good demonstration for this headphone, sampler song emphasizes bass, but with the poor connection, I did not really hear any nice bass sound coming out. Further, since the song was more instrumental than anything else, so I could not gauge how it produces vocal sound. I took a little bit of risk and got it online at Amazon.com, mainly because, albeit the disadvantages, the mid-range from this headphone is pretty amazing, given the retail price of US$169.00. Right now, as I am listening to 張懸and Norah Jones, I knew I was right to purchase this piece of headphones. :D
Took some photos of my new love. I have to say, although this is a portable headphone, I do not think it is any inferior to Bose models, which, in my opinion is pretty over-priced. Cheers to Audio Technica, great job!!

wahhhh!! fantastic stuff! do you look like an alien when you wear it? ixxit comfortable enuff to sustain long hours of wearing?
not really comfortable to wear long period of time, probably because I am wearing glasses? The band is a bit too tight though I heard you can adjust it somehow to make it fit more comfortable.
I refuse to look into the mirror when wearing this, so I think I look very pretty in these. Ha!
Did I mention about the bass? I heard that it gets better after burn-in around 80-100..
