    Does anybody here own Alienware's Ozma headphones? Considering getting the 7's over the 5's. Just wondering if they would be a waste of money, or are they really worth it?

    I too want to know, Ozma 7s are expensive, but if they really are good I'd buy em for sure. (Hard to find good surround sound headphones)

    Please do yourself a favor and get a pair of real headphones...:

    Started off with the Ozma 7, read my review/rant there. The Audio Technica ATH-AD700 headphones are much better in every regard: sound, positioning, comfort, and build quality. Just don't buy Alienware headphones just because of the brand name, get a real pair for the price.

    Hey Michael. Great recommendation. I am looking at the Technica ones now. How well would they be suited to a small head, do you think? I'm quite petite and my head is quite small really. :(

    I would think that it would fit almost any size head just fine.

    The Ozmas are great headphones, they are made by a company called ULTRASONE and I believe the Ozma 7s are based on their highly popular HFI-650s or 700s which PROFESSIONAL musicians use for monitoring etc.

    The sonar positioning is great and the build quality is excellent.

    The only issue I have with them is that they are slightly heavy in my opinion, but if you are after sound quality, these are top quality.

    Afterall, I dont mean to be sarcastic but they arent made by AW!! so it must be good LOL
