Review: Great, but Amazing when paired with Qudelix 5k - I got these because persona (just kidding) these are high quality exotic headphones that I’ve been meaning to pick up. The build quality is really good, but do note that they fit my ears but I have smaller ears, larger ears might struggle in liking these. The sound is warmer due to the wood backing, additionally these are tuned for highs and mids but lack base since they are clip-ons. Additionally, don’t expect any noice cancellation or sealing, these have a more open aired tone but suffer in noisy environments as it can’t isolate sound due to how clip ons work. However when you pair them to an external DAC like the Qudelix 5k, you can use an auto EQ which make these sound amazing, the EQ helps bring back the base while tuning down the sharp highs. These are very nice exotic headphones that I recommend if you’re looking for something different while still sounding good.
Review: Badass - Beautiful. Perfect. Retro. High quality. What else is there to say? These are badass and retro looking. I wish Audio Technica would continue manufacturing unique designs like the ATH line... ATH EM700 re-release when :")

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello, do these have a microphone too?**
A: No, these do not have a microphone.

**Q: How do I tighten this earphone after I clip on?**
A: You don't. It only has two positions, open and closed. You can raise and lower the ear-clip which might help it to rest more securely against your ear, but it should rest comfortably against the side of your head without falling off in most circumstances. It might not be appropriate for running, but I used to wear the aluminum variants when I worked out at the gym without them falling off, for example.

**Q: There were a black pair of these. Are there any left?**
A: No, there weren't a black pair of those. So, there aren't a black pair of those, either.
