## Description

desertcart.com: Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X Audiophile Open-Air Headphones Black : Electronics

Review: Finally a pair I can wear with allodynia and they sound great - I struggle with allodynia — a condition where ordinary pressure can register as varying levels of pain — and over the years I accumulated a mass graveyard of headphones from trying pairs that didn’t work out. Most over-the-ear ones cause a tight band effect around my head and even headphones touted as comfortable would become quickly intolerable, sometimes as quickly as a few minutes. Earbuds are a mixed bag too — sometimes they're fine, other times they’re excruciating. The ATH-AD700X are designed differently in a way I can actually tolerate. Instead of a traditional headband pressing down, they use what Audio-Technica calls "3D Wing Support”. These two padded wings rest like butterflies on the sides of your head to keep them on while the band floats across the top. This significantly reduces the amount of pressure and it’s a drastic difference for me as I can potentially wear them for hours. They also work with most of my earrings, including tragus and conch piercings (though I do have a lot of real estate to my ears so ymmv), and don’t feel too hot. On the sound side, these are open-back and as common with that style, they excel in clarity over bass. They’re fairly neutral with a spacious soundstage, so both music and calls feel natural. Its bass isn’t deep and rumbling so boosting is necessary if that’s your preference, but they still sound lively and full. Though sometimes higher pitches can come through a bit sharply, overall they’re very clean and well-balanced. My only real complaint is that the cable is fixed. I prefer coiled ones, so when I converted this I had to use a heat gun instead of baking in the oven. It had me so nervous I was gonna mess up and cause myself a lot more work needing to repair them, but thankfully it worked out and they hold a coil well. These have been my go-to headphones since mid-2023 and I’m still incredibly happy with them. While there are days I have to use earbuds or speakers instead, this is the most manageable pair I’ve found for allodynia so far. For anyone else with head pain that misses wearing cans, I still highly recommend these even in 2026.
Review: These headphones are AWESOME - So, I was in the market for some new headphones. A friend of mine had suggested the AudioTechnica ATH-M50x, but after perusing lots of extensive reviews on them I decided against them. The most important factor to me is comfort, and from what I had been reading about those, they weren't necessarily bad headphones, they just weren't very good ~$200 headphones. And apparently, they take "some getting used to" in terms of comfort. I was turned off by both of these sentiments and decided to look for something else. I figured open-back may be the way to go, and eventually settled on a pair of the ATH-AD700X's. In my opinion, the best things about these headphones are, ironically, things a lot of people have outlined in their own reviews here as being negatives. Let's start with the mechanism these use to stay on your head. You have likely seen many reviews here saying the mechanism these headphones use is "too loose". In my opinion, they are not too loose at all. They grip your head with a very light, feathery touch. At first it may feel like they could slip off if you just tilt your head the wrong way, but they will not. Unless you're thrashing your head to some VERY SERIOUS metal there is no way these are going to fall off, whether you're laying down in bed or sitting in a chair. Also, I have always had difficulty laying down in bed and using big headphones. More often than not, the cans just get shoved into strange, awkward positions, or the whole thing is really just gripping my head way too tight and it gets VERY uncomfortable VERY quickly. That is not the case with these headphones. They are extremely comfortable to wear in bed, and they sound great too. Next, let's go to the cable. I've seen SO MANY reviews saying they hate the cable for being "too long", and they hate how the cable "coils up." In my opinion, these are actually things worthy of praise. I would rather have a pair of headphones with a cable that is too long than a pair with a cable that is one inch too short. NOTHING is more frustrating than that. As for the cable "coiling up", when in use this is never a problem. The cable is so long that any coiling is going to occur pretty far away from your body. And the cable "coiling up" sounds like a bad thing at first, until you see HOW it is coiling up. This cable has a tendency to coil up into the shape it was originally packaged in. So if you put the headphones away somewhere, you can rest assured knowing the cable will VERY EASILY arrange itself back into a very space efficient form factor. This is a pro to me, because I do not have a dedicated microphone. So I will often switch between headphones when using my computer. Additionally, you will know the cable is also SAFE in these conditions. I have broken many headphones over the years because I have poorly maintained the cable. This cable going into the exact arrangement I need when I wish to store it somewhere, with very little effort on my part, is a godsend and I am totally cool with that. Now that these two are out of the way, let's move into some more pros. The sound is great. I'm not an audiophile, so I have no opinion on how "chocolatey" the mids are or how "minty" the treble is, or whatever buzzwords those people like to use to describe their sound equipment. But what I can tell you is, the sound is very clear and crisp and you will no doubt pick up on details in music that you never heard before, especially if you've spent your whole life using substandard, cheap headphones or "gaming" headsets. I play a digital piano through my DAW software, and immediately I could tell a massive difference in not just the overall quality, but also the clarity in the finer details of the various piano libraries I had been using for months --- details I previously did not even know were there. And this is straight, out of box performance. No EQ, not even hooked into an audio interface. Just plugging right into a line output on my computer case. So, how about audio clarity in a noisy environment? In my opinion, ambient background noises are only SLIGHTLY easier to hear through these, than my usual pair of closed-back headphones. I have a fan in my room that I run pretty much all the time on the lowest setting. Even with my usual pair of closed-back headphones, I can hear the fan. The only time I can't is if I barrage my ears with a constant stream of very loud noises. The same exact case applies with these headphones. If the sound is loud enough you will be completely tuned out to any external noises. I don't even need them that loud to reach a point that they overpower the sound of my whirring fan. Are there any cons I can think of? Not really. I guess they aren't quite as bassy as my usual headphones could get, but I prefer that. Sometimes stuff would just sound so...mixed up and muddied on my other headphones, and that was all due to their closed design. I'm sure someone with vastly superior background in audio equipment can find something to dislike about these headphones, but I'm a simple man. As that kind of person, I really can not find anything to dislike about these headphones. So far they have been a blast and I am loving them. If you are a relatively simple person too, and you just want to get something better than whatever dollar store headphones you've been using for years, these will definitely be good value to you. I will not be giving any rating towards "Noise Cancellation", because these are not noise cancelling headphones. Why that is even something I can rate on these doesn't really make any sense to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not Great
*by A***N on February 9, 2026*

Great Headphones, they sound excellent, and are the first pair of open back headphones I have ever owned. While the headband looks awesome, the 'wings' start to slip at about 2 hours of wear and the headphones start to sit on my ears, and after 3 hours I have to keep readjusting them to sit on my head and not my ears. I want to say again that they sound awesome, and certainly are a good pair of cans. Another issue I have had is it seems the cord is coming disconnected from inside the headphones as sometimes I get a crackling noise that goes away if I push the cord gently back into the headphones. I only started getting this problem after about 2 years of use though. The padding is very soft, and the headphones are lightweight and comfortable. I would certainly purchase an upgraded version of these that address the qualms I have.
