Audio Technica ATH-FC700A
$100.00
Released November, 2007
The Pros:Sound clarity is consistent and distinct across the frequency response range. Compact folding design and light weight make these very portable. Clarity and response range is great for the under-$100 price range.
The Cons:Earcups do not fully cover the ear and can feel tight over time. Cable is Y-shaped and lacks an adjuster; this is sometimes inconvenient. Overall, high-frequency sounds playback louder than bass and low mids and can take adjustment.
The Audio Technica ATH-FC700A is a portable headphone with an aesthetic design for long-wearing comfort. An extremely affordable competitor to the 1000 mw ATH-ESW9A, the ATH-FC700A offers a reduced maximum input power of 500 mW (versus 1000 mW) and an inferior sensitivity of 102dB (versus 103dB).
