The Audio-Technica ATH-WS55 undoubtedly lives up to its being as a solid bass headphone. With this baby, listening to my favorite dubstep songs on my iPhone is even more engaging. Thanks to the textured bass this headphone gives off.
The ATH-WS55 Solid Bass headphones deliver incredibly full and textured bass, along with the astonishing clarity and fidelity for which Audio-Technica is renowned. Audio-Technica’s sophisticated driver technology and superior components deliver exceptional power handling, maintaining clarity of sound throughout their extended range.

Sound Quality
Audio-Technica is renowned for producing headphones that give off amazingly clear, rich and “oomphy” bassline. The headphone though does not completely surround my ear (yes, I have really big ears) thus external noise still pass through. My experience is, of course, very relative. If you’re looking for an affordable headphone with almost similar caliber that can outperform other expensive headphones, consider the Audio-Technica ATH-WS55.
Comfort
If you’re an aspiring DJ or a casual listener, the ATH-WS55 is perfect for you. The synthetic leather-covered ear cushions provides additional comfort; while the head band gives additional head support. The cable is tangle-free, thereby making it less annoying.
The ear cushion can also be twisted back so you can easily keep it without occupying too much space.
Design & Durability
At this point, I cannot separate design and durability. Over-all, the ATH-WS55 looks very sturdy and durable. The metal finish of the plate where the logo of Audio-Technica is placed adds glamor and luxury to this headphone.
Although some find this kind of headphone look dorky for the average Filipino, I still believe that function and necessity should always be utmost priorities when purchasing and using a headphone.
