Yes nowadays youngster cares so much for their hairstyle, that they worry even the slightest wind would slightly twist their hair’s angle by 10. This reminds me of one of my friend who would check on his hair on the window of the shops, or mirror at anywhere we go, and goes to toilet every one hour when he’s working, just to check on his hair. They would hate to wear huge full-size headphones out to the public because the headphones messed with their hair. But now, famous audio product maker Audio-Technica has solved that problem, with two new models. One for those with hair and one for those without hair.

The new ATH-XS7 comes with a ‘wide back band’ headband that won’t screw your gothic or dragonball hairstyle, while the ATH-XS5 is for those bold people that wears a baseball cap in public. Though both designs are different, their specs are still identical, with 110dB/mW output and 47Ω impedance. I wonder how comfortable can the neckband be, since I have a Siberia Neckband, and it’s awful to wear despite my tiny head. It’s just not comfortable for long wearing duration, and it drops easily. I’d still stick to the HD650 as typical headphones are still the most comfortable ones.
