  1. from www.crutchfield.com
    5.0 Stars the sound reproduction was what i consider "studio quality", the full rang of sound.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars doesn't try to be a details leader or super treble shining star or a sterile but trusted studio advisor but plays well with all the kids in the sandbox.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars but, if you are looking for the absolute best sound quality, bar none...maybe you are a professional musician/audiophile/studio mixer/etc...then the custom-3's might be for you.

fetching price...
$165.00 Est. at Amazon

  1. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars the ad700 emphasizes to much the high frequencies and the surround perspective is not helpful at all in studio-recorded music.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars they provide a crisp and clear reproduction that is very accurate to what the studio intended when initially recording the tracks.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars i bought it because i was curious why so many people (including some studio pros) recommended it and i just could not believe the price.
