Review on 🎧 Experience True Wireless Freedom with Audio Technica ATH-DSR9BT Over-Ear Headphones by Roberta Carlin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nearly. An almost perfect headphone.

I have several headphones and they really don't compare to any other. That's good and bad. These are great cans with crystal clear sound. Not loud and not bright. Very neutral. But let's just say, AKG K701s are neutral. I will say if you are looking for the sound of ATH MSR 7 or 9 in BT format these banks will disappoint you, they don't sound like 7 or 9. Although they sound great. I noticed that these cans have no background noise. A pause in the music when you hear that hiss of nothingness. he is not there! This allows you to hear the nuances of the music much more easily and clearly without the need for expensive HQ headphone DACs and power amplifiers. They connect easily and quickly to your device. Bad site. The controls are not easy to use and take a long time to get used to. I've been using them exclusively for over a month and I still accidentally pause my music when I'm about to reach for the volume knob. And the volume control is clunky at best and just doesn't feel expensive like you'd expect from a $500 can. They also don't have NC functionality, which is good, but don't use them in noisy environments as you'll quickly find that they're not loud enough to drown out the noise around you. The lack of a 3.5mm jack is also an issue, but they're designed for wireless devices, so I can't beat them for these two issues: no NC and no controls. I can't give them 5 stars. Overall I'm happy with the sound, looks and finish of the cans. If you are looking for the best sounding BT cans, you will be hard pressed to find a better set than this. The AT just needs to improve handling and it will be a must-have 5-star can set.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Hard to say
