Audio-Technica A2000Z High-Fidelity Closed-Back Headphones Metallic

Astounding sounding headphones. Owning several pairs of excellent, hi-end headphones, I was able to listen to true comparisons, and these really are exceptional sounding and light enough for long listening sessions. The soundstage is huge, listening to soundtracks you feel like you're sat in the middle of the orchestra. With pop music, the vocals sound like they're being sung right in front of you.There are three things that stop them from being my ultimate headphones. The headphone cable is not detachable, a big no, no as you can't upgrade the cables easily. The pads aren't really removable, so you can't upgrade them easily, IMO they should be almost twice as thick. The floating headband design works OK, but means it's hard to keep them firm on your head.I've learnt to live with these quirks as they sound so good and they're now firmly in the top tier of my headphone collection.
