Go for them

They are unbelieveable bargain at the current prices.

They replaced Grado 225 in my system. Grado's were someqhat uneven and slightly forward. AT are smoother.

There are few negatives, though.

a) Do not anyone see you wearing them :-)

b) Based on AT dimensions, they are made for man of the future with head twice the size of normal person. I had to bend bars to get them to stay on my (not so small) head.

c) they pivot around vertical axis, not horizontal, so when I adjusted it for me, by method described under b, they may not fit someone else.

d) need decent amp to drive them or will sound slow.
