New Music Gear Monday: Audio Technica MSR7 Headphones

Audio Technica has been making great studio-quality headphones for a long time, and its recent M50 model has become an unofficial studio standard. Now the company is trying to take sonic quality to yet a new level with its new ATH-MSR7 to take advantage of the upcoming leap into streaming hi-res audio.

The MSR7 features the company's 45mm True Motion drivers for extended dynamic and tonal range, along with 3 precisely placed air vents designed to control airflow inside the cup. The headset also features an inline mic and remote so it could be easily used with your computer or mobile device.

Comfort is a big deal when it comes to headphones, especially when wearing them for a long session or plane trip, so AT used memory foam for the ear pads to keep those ears from feeling pinched. A padded headband also helps raise the comfort level for extended use periods.

The Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 is scheduled to ship in March with a suggested retail of $249, although some import models can be found available now for Christmas delivery at higher prices.
