ATH-E40 Professional In-Ear Monitor Headphones, Black, Wired

There are many options out there today for those who are looking for a great sound, but would like to pay less. The reason i picked these is because the pair seems to be very well received by the audio community so i decided to go for it and get them. And i was not disappointed, the audio is clean and powerful with minimal distortion at high volume levels. And with some extra voltage pumped through them (with an amplifier) they sound even better with the low end being crisp, punchy and coming across with weight and air, but is a bit boosted which i don't mind. The soundstage is quite nice too. There is ample width and air, and the separation of instruments is very good for the price. The highs are just a tad exaggerated, however do not sound harsh in any way, unlike some other popular brands... All of these elements combine to create a very pleasant and fun sound signature that makes music sound more believable. Hence why this great pair of in ears gets my recommendation. Also the cable is replaceable, so that's a plus, should it ever get damaged.

I got excited about this product during ordering as my Sony MDR ex750ap died a few days ago and I needed a better pair for myself... And as cherry on top the price was 4170 rupees only..so I quickly order them..the seller was crystalarc lifestyle But when I put them on my ears the story of doubt about the product rose...the bass was not there.. absolutely absent..I read in some reviews that the burning of drivers slowly reveals the bass in these iems... I have not burned them yet..I tried different eartips starting from the provided ones to the Sony hybrid eartips for snug fit..none improved the situation with bass..in contrast my Sony pairs had quite good tight and deep bass right from the beginning with less clarity than this on mids and highs.. In these iems the mids ( vocals ) are quite upfront..the drums and guitar strings are excellent and clear.. infact clearer than Sony MDR ex 750ap..try listening bollywood song "hum to dilse Harte".. and you will find as if the drums are playing infront of you..I guarantee you will believe actually the real drums are there not the recording of drum sound.. thanks to the its soundstage.. instruments separation is effortless.. better sound separation than Sony..but lack musical resolution that Sony MDR ex750ap had.. May be because this is an iem for professionals that require accurate reproduction of sound...not coloured or punctuated sound tuning... But still due to my doubt regarding genuitity of the product I inspected them ..to my surprise I found the soundtube acoustic foam cover has some strange kind of black solid rings around the outer corner perimeter of foam( may be glue) or (may be the leftover marks from ear wax stain washing)..or may be they are manufactured that way and glued to stay intact with the sound tube..i am unsure about what is the real reason because I can't compare since I don't have a similar second pair... .and both earpieces had the rings.. Now considering both of right and left earpieces have same physical appearance of sound tube foam cover I am skeptical of refurbishment... because all of my previous purchases never had these..rings Or may be this was a review unit piece that was sold at lower price after it was returned to the sellers place after review by today's tech reviewers..😂😂 Anyways I hope after somedays of burning these cans I get the desired sound quality that matches with the highly pronounced reviews about these earphones.. One more thing that the seller was quite good at customer relations... I hope that after some days the earphone reveals its true potential for bass ,mid and high frequency.. I will do some critical listening and post my further findings in future

Comfort 1/10 (The thing that goes over your ear is not practical at all because the IEMs are not deep in your ear at all) Got a static noise after few hours of listening that stayed by changing to my amp and changing iems removed the static so its the Ath problem. Sound is actually good tho (atleast better than the "Shure SE215" in every way (Im a noob in audio tho) The only positive thing is cable, looks cool:)

Un completo DESASTRE! Frecuencias graves y altas correctas pero el rango de frecuencias medias es un total desastre de resonancias internas, la gráfica de espectro debe ser una montaña rusa de vértigo; cambiando los capuchones el espectro medio permanente igual, antinatural con graves enfatizaciones y carencias. Las voces suenan horriblemente mal. Se devuelve. En absoluto es un auricular de alta calidad como se describe. Me cuesta creer que audiotecnica haya lanzado un producto de tan pésima calidad de audio. He usado muchos auriculares de esta empresa con un sonido de mayor calidad con un sonido muy equilibrado y natural a menor precio. Completamente DECEPCIONADO 🫤

Consegnato puntuale, direi un prodotto professionale, nulla a che vedere con le cuffiette in-ear da € 5 o € 10 che sono in dotazione ad esempio col lettore sandisk clip-sport che ho usato come primo test. Mi ha sorpreso il fatto di trovare all'interno della scatola anche un'ottima custodia rigida, marcata Audio-Technica, con retina che contiene agevolmente cavo e auricolari oltre ad aver spazio per contenere anche il Sandisk clip-sport. La custodia, chiudibile con zip, ha dimensioni (100x80x42) mm. La confezione contiene cuffie in-ear, 4 paia auricolari in silicone di varie dimensioni, cavo rimovibile da 1,6 m, 1 mini spinotto stereo dorato a L da 3,5 mm, 1 plug-on adapter dorato da 6,3 mm. Prova d'ascolto con file .flac senza rodaggio delle cuffie: L'ascolto della voce femminile+bassi direi "emozionante" anche a volumi medi, testata con Clip-sport e "Runaway" di Aurora. Ripetuta prova con iBasso DX-80 volume 95, basso gain, ottimo risultato con naturalmente migliore separazione strumenti, quindi provata "Cosmic Love" di Florence+the Machine, volume 95 direi eccessivo dovuto alla bassa impedenza (12 Ω) delle cuffie, ho dovuto ridurlo a 90; di nuovo ottima esperienza. Infine sempre con DX-80, volume 90, "Dog Days Are Over" reso perfettamente dai bassi agli alti. Nota indossabilità, io ho orecchie direi medio-piccole e nessun fastidio nell'indossarle, ho solo sostituito gli auricolari "medi" montati di fabbrica con quelli di una dimensione minore, perfetti, isolano tanto dall'ambiente circostante. Sono un po' macchinose da indossare la prima volta se si proviene dalle cuffiette da quattro soldi, ma successivamente tutto viene naturale. Sintesi, super soddisfatto € 100 spesi bene.
