Audio Technica ATH-ANC9

Zitat: Feine Auflösung bei Höhen und Mitten, Bass braucht Leistung; NC rauscht; Klang ist am Mac besser als am iPhone

Zitat: Klangqualität mit NC: gut Klangqualität passiv: zufriedenstellend Wirksamkeit Noise-Cancelling: gut Bedienung: zufriedenstellend Tragekomfort: gut

Zitat: Pro: + Excellent sound, with or without noise cancelling + Very comfortable + Stylish storage case packed with all the right accessories + Highly effective noise cancellation available in three levels Contra: - AAA battery life is short-lived - Slightly forward upper midrange when noise-cancelling not needed - Headphone cable smaller than we’d like - Single-button control Audio-Technica proves, once again, that its expertise in professional audio lends itself well to excellent headphone design. The ANC9 are wonderfully comfortable, effective at squashing noise, most importantly, sound like a high-end headphone with or without noise cancelling engaged. This performance, when combined with a quality, protective case and all the right accessories, puts the ANC9 in the top-tier of full-sized noise-cancellers, earning our hearty recommendation.

Zitat: In terms both of sound quality and noise-cancellation effectiveness, the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 represents a significant step forward from one of our old favorites, Audio-Technica’s ATH-ANC7b (which remains in the product line). For a product of its sophistication the ANC9 is well priced and what is more, smart shoppers will discover that street prices can be substantially lower than advertised "MSRP" pricing—making this new model an even better value. While the ATH-ANC9’s sound quality is not quite as high as that of today’s best passive headphones at this price, it is thoroughly competitive with (and in many respects better than) models from Bose and others.

Zitat: Pros: Excellent noise cancelling + Clear treble and solid bass + Good construction Cons: Bass and treble suffer when powered off - Strong clamping force may cause fatigue - Thin cable Audio-Technica’s top noise cancelling headphones do an excellent job of blocking outside noise. They also sound musical and detailed, but this is only true when noise cancelling is activated -- with no battery boost they’re flat and lifeless.
