amazon Audio Technica WM77 reviews
Not only does the eye-catching design hold, the WM77 also offers users an immersive audio experience.
Finding a headphone is not difficult, blink of an eye you can think of Beats Audio (Now belongs to Apple) with very stylish design personality. If you put a bit of effort to use Google Search, there are also many other famous brands with eye-catching designs, eye-catching colors. But not all ears are good, there are beautiful headphones but the sound quality of it is bad.
And in a myriad of headphones, there are some really worth buying when you ask for the form, the quality of the sound to its origin. Audio Technica WM77 is a headset like that. It’s beautiful, both for men and women, and if you love good sound quality, it will satisfy even the most hardcore.
1.Design
The WM77 is an on-ear headphone, a headphone type headphone that’s small enough to fit in your pocket and carry it wherever you go. Today, this type of headset also acts as a fashion accessory, not just a headset.
Audio Technica did a great job of designing, the WM77 was launched with the ultra-basic design of a round headphone, round headband and curved headband with thin padding. If that is the case then it is normal, nothing to praise, but by combining these simple lines and details in a harmonious way such as the architecture of the Japanese house, WM77 really beautiful.
The box size is not very large, just the equivalent of the bag of women. The packaging is printed in color, text and sharp prints, not the dense text that annoys buyers.
The WM77 is also a special earpiece when the casing of the ear cup can be replaced, this is a very innovative part of ATH (Audio Technica), you can mix two colors together, each side one color, Or change to another color for more personality.
Inside the box, the amount of accessories provided is just as good as the one with two gray ear cups.
One design that I think is very creative is that the strings are designed to be folded into the ear cups, at the beginning of the box, because the strings are quite concealed so it’s a mistake to think of them as headset wirelessly
One good feature is that ATH’s strings can be squeezed in, which has two benefits, one that is not afraid of strings and breaks. The second is to help the headset look more like a fashion item when worn on the neck, certainly no one wants to always have ropes on the body. The draw and insert is very easy, only a small note is that when the yellow line printed on the wire, then you should not try to pull out again so that it can not be re-inserted.
The ear cup lid can also be completely replaced by a hand without screws or aids, only by means of a removable handgrip that can be removed and you can replace the cover. In this orange version, the second pair of ear cups are silver. Depending on the color of earphones, ear cups will be available in different colors.
The headphone jack is an L-type jack, and today the L-jack is more popular than traditional I because it’s more durable and more difficult to break.
2. User experience
The ATH WM 77 has a very padded ear pad and headband, which gives it a very comfortable feel, with enough pressure not to cause heat or ear pain.
The pad is very thick, well machined, you almost can not see the line that appears.
The padding is just thick enough to not break the overall design.
The ATH WM77 has a 35 ohm impedance and sensitivity of up to 103dB so it’s easy to mix. You can use with any music player or smartphone without fear of drowning or lack of volume.

3. Sound quality assessment
Not only beautiful, the ATH WM77 also owns very good sound quality, almost all three strips, but the bass is still slightly better, very similar to the frequency range announced by the manufacturer is 10 – 23000Hz.
To test the sound quality of the WM77, I used the Japanese album Feel by Namie Amuro. This is a great album with mostly vibrant pop dance songs and a light ballad.
Bass: WM77’s bass is not too strong nor is it a quick, deep bass that impresses when worn in the ear. Before burn in may feel lack of bass but after 50 hours continuous burn, the bass has improved a lot. Bass with force, depth, not too fast but compact enough not to tug at the tail causing fatigue. This is the type of bass that in my opinion is used to listen to pop music or market today is very suitable.
Mid: The WM77 possesses a warm midrange, not as sweet as other brothers of ATH that tend to be warmer. The details of the midrange are not high, but with warmth and bass as the background, it is more about bringing the emotions to the listener. Of course, the voice of the mouth, the sound of the singer you can clearly hear. And due to the slightly warm direction, the Mid of WM77 does not suffer from sibilance, which is a big plus.
Treble: Like its two midrange and bass strings, the treble is not prominent, but it is rounded. Not as rich as some M ATH’s earphones, but it did not disappoint me. Strange people and treble head may be poor at treble, but they are too strict and are forcing their midrange entry-level headsets to bump themselves up like a headset that costs close to $500. Remember this is a portable headset, its purpose is not to reproduce the best what the song has but to satisfy the listener, emotionally.
Negative field: This is a weakness of WM77, you can fully recognize the first try. WM77 makes the listener feel very little about the sense of space, you can only clearly feel the left position is far away. Showing deep space, or a large stage with sound radiated from multiple directions is not possible on WM77, anyway when you go out, you can not concentrate to see every detail.
Conclusion: Beautiful design, sound quality along with many creative design details from ATH. WM77 is near the new segment of the AKG K420 or Koss Porta pro or Sennheiser PX200II, but must say its design is absolutely superior. Within the range of less than $100, it is difficult to find portable headphones with such balanced design and sound quality. If you listen to a lot of music, or move around, using smartphones instead of dedicated music players and prioritizing more of emotion than music, WM77 is the best option, especially if you do not too much money to invest in reputable brands.
