hi Dave Taylor here and this time I want
0:13
to talk about these these I should say
0:15
beautiful headphones these are the audio
0:18
technica ath msr7 and as you can see
0:23
they refer to them as the MSR sound
0:26
reality which is pretty heavy but it's
0:29
true motion high res audio and truth of
0:33
the matter pretty darn nice headphones
0:35
so one of the first things that I like
0:39
about this before we even put them on is
0:41
that it actually labels right and left
0:44
now this might seem really dumb but in
0:47
fact it's remarkable how many headphones
0:50
we get here that you can't figure out
0:53
what the orientation is and sometimes it
0:55
doesn't really matter but sometimes it
0:57
really does and they might be more
0:59
comfortable one way than the other but
1:01
it also might be that your audio is
1:03
designed the music you're listening to
1:05
whatever is designed to have something
1:07
right channel on something left channel
1:09
so I really like that those are labeled
1:12
and as with most modern headphones it's
1:16
a plug to get the wire so you just plug
1:19
in and they have different cables so
1:21
they actually have this is the one that
1:22
actually also works with iPhones has a
1:24
built-in condenser mic so you can use it
1:27
for phone calls I find it really bizarre
1:30
to have phone calls when I have this
1:32
completely immersive headphone on the
1:35
feedback mechanism if your own voice
1:37
boots do sound very Hollow and I don't
1:40
particularly like it but a lot of people
1:42
probably do so it's easy enough you plug
1:45
it in shall plug it in you plug the
1:49
other end into your audio source we will
1:51
use my handy phone here and you're ready
1:55
to go let's see right left right left
1:58
right okay so now I have the headphones
2:02
on and let's give it some music
2:06
now you can hear this right can you hear
2:09
that you can't hear this which is too
2:13
bad because holy cow there's a big rich
2:17
sound to these that make them just a
2:19
beautiful pair of headphones and you
2:22
know they come with the price that
2:23
matches but before we get there let me
2:25
tell you some more specs about it so as
2:27
I said the the headphones themselves
2:30
have what they call the true motion
2:31
drivers with a multi-layer
2:34
air dampening technology I'm just
2:36
reading the spec sheet here and they're
2:39
pretty darn comfortable which is nice
2:41
because I often find that I'll be
2:43
listening to music for a couple of hours
2:44
at a stretch I know I should get up I
2:47
should walk around every 45 minutes my
2:49
watch bothers me about that but it
2:51
doesn't mean I actually do it there 45
2:53
millimeter drivers and the frequency
2:56
response they say is five to forty
2:58
thousand Hertz which is way more than I
3:01
can hear and I'm guessing probably way
3:03
more than you can hear but I guess they
3:06
can pull it off that just under 300
3:08
grams and weight so they're not
3:10
particularly heavy for this style of
3:12
headphones and let's see so it has a 3.9
3:17
foot and a 9.8 foot and this is the 3.9
3:21
foot with built in mic controls and
3:24
everything so you can see here it's it's
3:28
it's a decent length it's long enough
3:30
that you can obviously have this on the
3:31
table or in your pocket and you could
3:34
have your headphones on and there's not
3:35
tons of wire but the ten foot one and
3:38
that's almost three times the length so
3:40
I really like that they include all of
3:42
those so these are the ath msr7 and like
3:49
I said I wish you could hear them
3:50
they're very impressive they really have
3:52
a nice frequency response and there's a
3:55
lushness to the sound on these that's
3:57
really warm and really nice for those of
4:00
you that know audio technology and you
4:03
can learn more about them at audio
4:04
technica dot-com and if you pick them up
4:07
at Amazon they are 249 bucks and 95
4:11
cents so these are the audio technica
4:14
ath msr7 Audio Technica com

4:23
