Audio Technica ATH-SJ 33 review

ATH-SJ33 ($58 or 2490 Philippine pesos)
Type Closed-back Portable Headphones
Driver 40mm
Output Sound 103dB/mW
Freq Response 10 - 23,000Hz
Max Input Power 500mW
Impedance 48 ohm
Weight Approx. 110g
Plug ø3.5mm gold-plated stereo mini-plug
Cord 1.2m (Y-Cable)
Excellent for PC, movies, smartphones and MP3 players.
Almost as good or better audio quality than many $100-150 portable headphones despite of ugly, cheap underrated looks. Rewards you with loud, warm, clear sound stage with very good amount of bass but not as bass driven as fanny wangs and beats solo hd.
Smartphone used for mp3 portable is Nokia N8 not N98(sorry about that).

question sj3 or sj33, the sales man says the sj3 have better specs than sj33? is it true?

[chunky1x]

@007Scapula SJ 33 is the newer version of SJ3. They only differ in impedance but almost the same specs. SJ 33 is the latest reincarnation of the SJ3 but it was released first than SJ3 which resulted in a lot of confusion. Sj33 has 48 ohms while Sj3 has 32 ohm. This is the same argument between SJ55 and SJ5. I doubt that SJ3 will sound better than SJ33.

na-try niyo po ba yung Marshall Majors? Any comparison with sound quality?

[chunky1x]

@poiXquared I did not tried Marshall Majors. However there is a lot of YouTube reviews on this and they said it is not good.

I have tried Urban Ears, Dre Beats, Skull Candy, Philips, Sony and from my experience, Audio Technica is the best. Indeed, the build quality is plastic-y and the aesthetic is uninspiring. The difference is truly in the sound, crystal clear, beautiful. When you hear music though a pair of Audio Technicas, it's like hearing Chris Martin's voice come down from heaven or having Shakira's booty shake rise from inside you. If you want to feel music, then Audio Technica is the experience!

@mycelebrityskin It is true that nearly all Audio Technica headphones look and feel cheap but I'll rather have cheap looking, best sounding headphones anytime.

@spartafxrs5 Thanks.

@chunky1x thanks so much!!!! btw, this review's very helpful and precise.. i might go with the sj33, since sj55 is out of the budget.. hahahahhaa

[chunky1x]

@spartafxrs5 Go for SJ 33 or SJ 55. These two are better with great bass and treble which the SJ 11 lacks. I did not try the Pioneer mj 31 but they cost the same as SJ 33.

There is something wrong with the comments reply.
