hey guys.. need some advice here... i was looking through some AT products and i find the model ATH-ES5 looks damn cool and it has good reviews on it (websites and lowyat forum)...
basically, i'm a gamer here which i need a decent treble kinda headphones to hear properly while i'm a music lover too.. so i was thinking getting a well balanced headphones to serve this 2 purposes... what amazed me in this model is the design and the price which is within my budget
so, anyone that own a pair of ATH-ES5 can give some opinions regarding this headphones? is the headphones good for both treble and bass?! does it work well on high volume range?!anwz i prefer bassy type of headphones because i listen to lots of clubbing musics... i dislike headphones that blew up cracking sound when comes to high volume... thx for advice in advance =)
I own ES5 more than 2 years.
treble is crisp and clear, but the mid range a bit lacking to me.
To me the bass is strong and punchy , very good for Trance,Techno kinda music.
The noise isolation wasn't good.
Main problem to me is the not really comfortable for long hours listening, because the way the cans CLIP on the head and ears. Many people can't get used to the way of this headphone put on their head, For example, my brother try ES5 once, and he said here never want to use it again.
That why I Only use on long travel journey trip on bus or train.
I strongly suggest you try to find a ES5 to try on your head. see whether it fit or comfortable on your head.
