Headphones Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Black

Full-size closed dynamic headphones with balanced connection capabilities. The audio part of the headphones is the same as that of the most advanced SE version of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7. But the addition “Balanced” means that additional wires are routed between the cups and routed to a pair of adult A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors.

Next, the owner of Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7B decides for himself which of the two supplied cables to use: an unbalanced 3-pin with a “minijack” at the end, or a cable that uses 5 conductors and a 4 plug .4mm is a relatively recent standard used in high-end split-channel players.

The heart of the sound is the 45 mm True Motion driver - the proprietary driver of Audio-Technika. What makes it special is its nanometer-thick membrane, one of those that, without understanding it, is called “diamond.” The consumer vividly imagines something made of very expensive material, unless he is trying to figure out the carat weight of the precious membrane. In reality, we are talking about high-temperature spraying technology DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) and no one glues large and small Diamond stones onto the diaphragm.

The precious qualities of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7B membrane are weightlessness, the ability to maintain rigidity throughout the entire path of its movement, and high speed characteristics.

The powerful flow of air squeezed out by the diaphragm piston must still be managed correctly. The Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7B cups do this with multi-layer damping technology to control flow. Having passed through damping cordons and a triple ventilation system, the air flow forces dry up. And the aluminum cups of the ATH-MSR7B leave no chance for internal resonances.

In terms of passive sound insulation, everything is also fine. The last line of defense is simply luxurious ear pads filled with memory foam.

In the clear performance of the ATH-MSR7B, you understand in what proportions the bass should be tight and dense, the degree of excellent, but not excessive detail, the connection between airiness and the width and depth of the virtual stage.

The example of Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7B shows that headphones for every day can be very, very good, and receive decent ratings for the naturalness and purity of sound.
