Agnostic

I just found it today, so I have no idea what I'm getting into. I get the sligth impression I walked into the O.K. Corral of headphonedom though.

Yeah I got bored of waiting for Head-Fi to go back up, and I ran into a link to this place on another forum.

Which would explain why some people think the ATH-ES7 sound like crap. I've noticed the same with other headphones but not nearly as bad as with the ES7 Important lesson: don't listen to headphones when you're pissed off.

I agree with ATH-ES7: Slightly rolled of highs, not harsh at all, yet reasonably detailed. Nice soundstage, not huge but good for closed I'd say. Very nice, warm, smooth, slightly euphonic mids. A little midd bass hump but not too bad, goes pretty low. All in all I'm quite happy with them. They're better than I expected from what I'd read about them. Just one word of warning, if your one of those up tight guys walking around with cleched jaws forget about them, it completely spoils their sound. (I was annoyed about something and suddenly the ATH-ES7 sounded like crap to me, so I wondered what was going on, unclenched my jaws and back was the nice sound).
