55 Stars from a VERY picky audiophile  Jul 28, 2010
Credibility: I am an audio engineer and know a thing or two about audio.

I typically don't use headphones because of the poor frequency response and therefore misleading interpretation most headphones give to the source audio. And because most of the ones I've used have been uncomfortable. These phones have a great natural response that will reduce listening fatigue and they are very comfortable. Simply put, I have yet to find a better set of phones for the money. If this set is in your price range, do yourself a favor and get them. Now.

To me, the only con about these phones is the 1/4" jack. I replaced it with a standard 3.5mm jack and use an adaptor to 1/4" if necessary because that is more sturdy than adapting from 1/4" to 3.5mm.

Great set. 5 Stars. Nothing more to say.

Oh, and I've had these for years now.

1Right headphone does not work  Jul 23, 2010
I bought these mainly for mixing my music, and to have a good pair of headphones. The music sounds great on the one ear phone that actually works. When they arrived i pluged them in and the right ear phone already did not work! Once in a while the right ear phone will scratch back on and it will work, but i dont think i have to be able to tap the side of the headphone to make it work, especially sence i just spent my money to buy these.Otherwise the cord is nice and long to plug into your stuff and you will have plenty of room.The ear phones do get uncomfortable real quick.

4Pretty Good Sound, Not Very Comfortable  Jul 18, 2010
I listen to a lot of music and make music. These are good enough. They have a bit of bass, not too much. Wearing them for long periods of time will give headaches, they hurt my left ear sometimes too. They sound well and I know the cable won't need to be replaced any time soon with how sturdy it is. Buying the adapter required to plug it in my computer was very cheap, not more than a dollar with the free shipping when included with the headphones. I usually have to turn up the volume a lot to get it at how high I like it. Sound does leak from them a bit, and they do let sound in. Nice monitoring headphones, worth a buy if you can't afford great ones but like good sound.

5Big Headphones For Big Ears! The Best For The Buck!  Jul 14, 2010
The Audio Technica ATHM40FS Precision Studio Headphones are the best quality you can find for the price. They fit very comfortably and a have a frequency range that is true to form for mixing everything from sub-bass synths to strings.

Big headphones for Big ears!

3Usable product  Jul 09, 2010
The headphones are usable, but not great. The best atribute is the good sound isolation that prevents most leakage, which is great for recording studios or for on-air work. The spl (sound pressure level) capacity is good, and the comfort is good. Distortion also seems to be low.

On the negative side, I did not find the frequency response to be as flat as I expected, thus making the phones inadequate for reference use. In fact, the audio quality is marginal in this regard. The deficit is even distracting for voice-over work or DJ use, which was my prime interest.

Although I won't buy another due to my specific area of interest, I'll continue to use the phones in other contexts. They aren't bad overall; they just don't excel, in my opinion, due to some audio coloration.
