Audio-Technica ATHA700 vs. ATH-PRO700 SV headphones

[Andrew Barss]

I'm considering buying one of these A_T models -- I have a pair of Grado
SR-60 headphones, and need another pair of phones, and thought I'd try a
closed-back set.

Does anyone have any comparative info or experience with either or both of
these headphones?

Well I have the ATH-AD700 and a SR-60. I have never seen a bad report on the
AT's. Fantastic price peformance ratio. They never tire your ears because they
don't touch your ears. Not sure about the PRO700's.

One thing bad, is that their BIG, but not heavy.

I think the DJ model was slimmed down the look to look a bit more cool, and
perhaps stand more physical abuse.

I had a pair of SR-60s once upon a time, but one channel got burnt out while
being used with a headphone amp that I've been using for years with other
phones with no problems.

I have a pair of ATH A700 (closed) and a pair of the corresponding ATH AD
700 open air headphones. My other headphones include Sennheiser HD-580, HD
280, and Sony 7506, as well as a number of IEMs.

I would say that I prefer the 580s the most, but being open air they are
pretty useless for live recording. For that purpose I use the ATH A700s.
They are far less colored than the 280s or 7506s.

I use the 580s and AD700s for mixing stuff I previously recorded at the
live site, and listening for pleasure.
