Audio Technica ATH-S300

A budget headphone that delivers good sound and is comfortable for longer use

The headphone is well built and fairly designed. On first look it may look bulky but is really comfortable to use for longer listening periods. It has a swivel fold design for ear-cups that provides easy portability. The headphones are cushioned well and can block ambient amount of noise from outside environment.

The headphone delivers excellent high frequency sound but the volume has to be kept at upto 70-80% of the maximum to get clutter free sound. It sounded best with vocals and soft music tracks. The bass response at midlevels was good but with heavy bass it lacked depth. The highs in music were clear, rich and crisp but the mids sounded flat. The sound signature remains distortion free at top volume levels. There is sound leakage when playing music at max volume levels. The guitar strummings sounded sharp and rich. When using headphones while watching movies or games, dialogues and sound effects sounded clear. Also there is no hissing sound produced when the music goes quiet. The adjustable head band can fit almost all head sizes.
