We like:
General sound quality; decent comfort; excellent noise-cancellation; concealed battery compartment; detachable audio cable

Treble performance is weak; sound quality in passive mode is poor; sound leaks at higher volumes

Extra AAA batteries (only requires one for operation)
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Most notable for their excellent noise-cancellation, the ATH-ANC7s are decent performers overall. However, their slight downsides put them a step below the Sennheiser equivalent.
