The little brother of the universally regarded ATH-A900, The Audio-Technica ATH-A700 is a medium priced closed circum-aural headphone. Presenting a dark, non-fatiguing listening experience, the ATH-A700 is also very comfortable, an important variable when considering a headphone. While featuring a closed design, the A700 has a fairly large body,and is thus not an ideal option for travel or listening on the go. Rather, it is much better suited for use in a quieter environment for things such as gaming, watching tv or listening to music.
