Audio-Technica ATH-A990Z Wired Over-Ear Studio Monitor Headphones for DJs & Gaming | High-Res Sound, Deep Bass, Soft Earpads | DJ Headphones with 3D Wing Support

Sono cuffie ottime, la prima cosa da dire è che non vanno giudicate subito. Necessitano un po' di ore di "rodaggio", non propriamente burn in perché basta ascoltare semplice musica, magari diversi generi, per rodare i driver, che dall'iniziale impastamento acquisteranno sempre maggiore pulizia, dettaglio, e separazione degli strumenti. Hanno un soundstage e una gamma invidiabili per della cuffie chiuse. Il sistema di appoggio può lasciare interdetti, ma di fatto permette l'ascolto per ore senza affaticamento. Al prezzo al quale vengono offerte credo abbiano un rapporto qualità prezzo invidiabile.

Having looked at many headphones to find a high quality well made & comfortable product for the home that does not rely on electronic gimmickry of noise cancelling. I also wanted to use it to listen to Hi resolution streaming ( Qobuz). I discovered this by searching across many reviews but most mass-market headphones these days are designed with Bluetooth & noise cancelling and has apps etc to determine the sound signature. This does none of that but produces a rich, well-integrated sound best listened with a DAC ( not essential as impedance is not so high it requires a DAC or Headphone Amp) Also, I did not want to spend hundreds of pounds as audiophile headsets with this sound capability often cost a lot more. (At least double) Let me begin by saying what this headphone is not. Unless you are used to wearing 53 mm domes, outside this is not the outdoor headphone. It also avoids high tech electronic noise suppression ( for that Sony WH - 1000XM3 or 2 range is fabulous). What this does well, is deal well with a wide range of music from rock, jazz, classical for home listening. Use with a DAC and it will be even better. I have used this with different range of DACS (Chord, Arcam, Marantz) and these have performed as well as my rather old but very expensive T5p These are closed headphones so you won't scare the cat or the neighbours. To keep the weight down the metal covering uses aluminium so you get some leakage but unless you are playing at very high volumes ( not recommended) you won't get any sound leakage. I found listening for a long period was not a challenge as the "headband" gave great support The overall feel of this headphone is that it is very well engineered with a good thick cable with two jacks. The size of the drivers at 53 mm gives this a spacious feel so the constricted sound that you get from closed-back headphones are not as evident in these headphones. In terms of value, this is a fabulous buy at £179 as the other headphones with this sort of capability are at least double the price. The sound signature is very similar to the now discontinued Bowers & Wilkins P7 but this one can play high res files. I would not say this matches the Beyerdynamic which is nearly eight times more expensive than this. Finally, the sound needs to settle down, so use this headphone for about 2-3 days and the quality of the headset becomes obvious. For the price/value/ quality equation home listening phones, I have yet to find one that matches these headphones. For that, it deserves 5 stars

piękne, w odcieniu butelowej matowej zieleni, bardzo dobrze wykonane i lekkie, a przynajmniej takie sprawiają wrazenie na głowie. w Porównaniu z Philips Fidelio X2HR to słuchawki filigranowe w odczuciu. Duży driver 5,3cm robi robotę, ale nie oczekujcie basu jak w klubie. Mnie osobiście ta sygnatura nie odpowiadała bo bas był w okolicy średniego basu, troszkę "buczący" a osobiście wolę zejścia niżej i bardzej spężyste. góra jest bardzo muzykalna, ale znów nie moja bajka, sybilanty mocno ćwierkają i szeleszczą. Skrzydełka 3D są świetne, natychmaist po założeniu zapomniałem, że je mam. Jesli lubicie soczyste muzykalne i dość analityczne brzmienie bardzo polecam te słuchawki. Są piękne, wygodne i bardzo muzykalne. Przewód jest miękki i w oplocie, bardzo przyjemny w dotyku i nie powoduje efektu mikrofonowego co sugerują recenzenci..

Je possédais un casque Beyerdynamic qui a rendu l'âme au bout de 2 ans , un dt 770 pro en 250Ohms , déçu alors que toutes les reviews vont en sa faveur Ayant un micro Audio Technica , j'en étais très content au niveau qualité donc j'ai décidé de faire confiance à la marque et de me lancer dans l'achat du ATH-A990Z Surpris lorsque je l'ai reçu en 2 jours , de la qualité des matériaux proposés , les coques en aluminiums sont vraiment superbes , elles donnent une sensations de qualité vraiment appréciable. J'ai beau le mettre dans plusieurs position , le tordre rien ne craque pas de bruit , ne se déforme pas Le câble ne se décroche pas c'est le seul point négatif que je lui donne ; cependant le câble est vraiment de bonne manufacture, il est gainé en tissu tressé , il ne s'emmêle pas pour l'instant aucun souci à ce niveau la Coté confort , rien à redire je peux le porter plusieurs heures que ce soit 1h ou bien 6-7h je ne le sens même pas sur la tête , aucun désagrément au niveau du système 3D, il tient bien en place pour ce qui est de ma part, attention aux petits têtes il a tendance a un peu trop bouger contrairement au dt770 pro ou j'avais besoin de faire une pause au bout d'un moment car j'avais une douleur sur le haut de la tête ! Les coussinets sont plutôt confortable Coté son , après l'avoir écouter a peu près 50 heures , absolument pas déçu , il est couplé a un ampli casque pour vraiment avoir le maximum de qualité, je l'ai utilisé pour un peu tout , que ce soit du jeu vidéos , des films , de la musique évidemment la ou il est excelle , le son est propre , ne sature pas Les basses sont profondes , pas de grésillement même lorsque l'on met le son plutôt fort , les bas mediums sont bien présent ca donne pas mal de chaleur Petit plus sur les médiums supérieurs que je trouve vraiment bien présente Les aiguës sont clair , même en cas de forte basse on arrive toujours a les distinguer correctement sans distorsion ce qui peut arriver sur certains casques et rien de plus horrible que des basses qui empiètent sur le reste du spectre En conclusion c'est un très bon casque malgré le peu de test que j'ai vu sur les modèles de chez Audio Technica , la qualité est présente que ce soit sur les matériaux , la qualité sonore C'est un casque que je recommande fortement !

Der Sound ist super, du kannst die Kopfhörer ohne Amp benutzen und die Flügel zum aufsetzen sind absolut klasse und einzigartig. Nur das nicht abnehmbare Kabel und die Isolierung an der Klinke nerven bisschen. Wenn du Probleme mit zu viel klemmkraft oder Kopfschmerzen nach langem tragen hast, sind diese Kopfhörer ein Segen. Stylisch sind sie auch noch.

At first I disliked these headphones and was on the verge of sending them back. They sounded cold, tinny and didn't thrill me at all. All headphones need to be worn in, as they play and things loosen up they sound better. So I kept them to wear them in. The next thing that was holding them back was my media. If you are planning to play compressed MP3s via your phone, these are not for you. When playing MP3s they did not flatter the sound like my other headphones. It sounded compressed and lacked detail. I connected to my streaming service and played some high definition audio. They immediately came to life, the bass became defined, there was plenty but it wasn't overpowering the other frequencies. Firing up Akon's I wanna Love You, when the bassline dropped, they kept up but never lost sight of Akon and Snoop, even at the busiest stages of the mix. These definitely do benefit from amplification, my computer has a built in headphone amp (Xonar DG soundcard). It isn't the best, but pushes all my other headphones no problem. They can also drive these fairly well, but I think they will be even better with some higher-end amplification to them. I am currently doing research on headphone amps. The design is quite good, I don't have any problem with them slipping on my head or shifting, and they do feel comfortable. Overall now that they are broken in, I am happy with these and would purchase again. They are a change from my usual bassy headphones, but the way they keep their composure and handle my music has made these my new go-to. Now that they're broken in, they even sound okay with MP3s, although lossless audio is where they truly shine.
