Audio-Technica ATH-A2000Z and Sennheiser HD 4.30I headphones – Review

Audio-Technica’s new ATH-A2000Z Art Monitor Closed-Back Dynamic Headphones are the best sounding headphones I have ever heard. The audio presence is full-spectrum almost neutral with crisp performance at all listening levels in every genre and a slight upward sweetness, which I prefer. They are efficient and don’t need loads of power to drive them.
