Audio Technica Unveils New, Classy headphones
|
Nowadays, we're listening to more and
more music so why penny-pinch for listening needs such as headphones? For music lovers with exceptionally deep pockets, the people at
Audio Technica have, not just one but two treats in store.
The
Japanese makers present 2 new headphones, the ATH-EC700 and the
ATH-EC700Ti. The difference between the 2 models is that the first
one is aluminium-made and the second one is made out of titanium,
but then again, let us take a look first in the aluminum
variant.
The ATH-EC700 is made up of aluminum, falls under the
dynamic type, the driver is 15.44 neodymium magnetand it offers 16Ω
on a 10Hz - 24kHz range and 100dB. It weighs 11 grams with a 1.2m of
cord length. When you purchase one of these bad boys you get two
accessories - a dock and an ear pad; and for added kicks you can buy
separately the top of the line ear pads (HP-EC7). It would be
released on May 26, 2006.
On the other hand, the ATH-EC700Ti offers
the same punch but in a titanium package which means it is lighter,
more durable and offers good sound quality. It would also be released
and sold on May 26.
Aside from that, their only other
difference is their corresponding price tags. The ATH-EC700 is valued
at 15,000 Japanese Yen (US$132), while the ATH-EC700Ti has a price
tag of 20,000 Japanese Yen (US$176). I told you that these babies are
for those with deep pockets!
