Audio Technica reveals updated ATH-MSR7SE headphones

Audio Technica's ATH-MSR7 headphones are back, and now they're even more special. The ATH-MSR7SE is the 'special edition' version - Audio Technica says audio performance has been enhanced, along with a new finish and improved sound isolation.

Let's start by looking at the looks. The aluminium housings now have a deep metallic navy finish with gold accents, while the earpads have faux-leather wrapping for greater comfort.

There's also a new 6N-OFC cable, featuring in-line controls and a microphone.

If this has tickled your fancy, the ATH-MSR7SE will be available in October, priced at £300.
