Best portable on-ear headphones up to £100 - What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision Awards 2010.
It seems we're not the only ones to be impressed by the Audio Technica ATH-ES55 headphones. Take a look and, better still, a listen to these quality headphones and you'll see why the reviewers love them so much. First off is the finish. Aluminium cans with soft leather pads give these headphones a luxurious feel and great comfort.
The closed back design makes these headphones perfect for using on the move. Yet, despite their closed back design, the ATH-ES55's don't sound closed and shut in. Instead, according to What Hi-Fi, they offer, "balanced, transparent sound". With powerful 40mm drive units featuring special voice coils, the sound is also very dynamic and punchy.
As the ATH-ES55 headphones have been designed for a life on the move, it's good to see they've come prepared. The earpads swivel flat and a protective pouch is supplied for when you need to pack them away. The 1.2m cable is also just the right length for portable headphones.
Good looking and great sounding; we expect these headphones to be in high demand!
