" ... One of the biggest soundstage ever heard on a headphone for me. ... "
" ... I finally understand what the appeal for the 800s is - it's great for layered instrumental music like Classical or Bebop Jazz. ... unless paired with a warm amp like the Liquid Carbon or Woo Audio WA2. ... I've experimented with several equalizers that turn the 700's into similar sounding 800s and honestly it gives you a glimpse of what the 800s do better which is that they are even brighter, sharper, and the little muted sounds of the air between the artist reading lyrics, twitches of a violin swinging between one note to another, flipping pages as you sit in a concert hall, etc. ... Having collected lots of Classical Music when I was younger, I'm almost certain I will be getting the 800s as well to compare. ... EDIT: So I've had a few days with the Valhalla 2 and Mimby combo with these cans and they really smooth out the sound. ... It honestly sucked a little too much out of the sound for my liking so I equalized a bit. ... "
" ... Transitioning from the HD 598 to the HD 700's was a substantial leap in sound quality, so it took quite a bit of time to get accustomed to their unique sound signature. ... Most importantly, the highs of the HD 700 produce such a crisp, detailed response that I find myself discovering new, intriguing nuances in music all the time. ... As with all headphones, I highly recommend listening at a reasonable volume to prevent hearing loss, particularly since these higher frequencies are often the first to become lost in hearing. ... "
" ... The sound bleeds A LOT. ... If you're listening to music or watching a movie everyone will be able to hear exactly what you're listening to. ... "
" ... I listen primarily to orchestral (classical, movie scores), vocalists, acoustic performances, and some modern music. ... These are open back and yes there is sound leakage - totally fine to use at home or in a private office but not out in public or in close proximity to co-workers (unless they like your choice of music! ... "
" ... The sound quality is just amazing - as described in many other reviews. ... Haven't heard anything so close to a perfect sound. ... "
" ... They're obviously great headphones, but make sure the sound signature appeals to you before sinking any money into them. ... "
" ... I like HD 700s better for classical music, acoustic guitar, and female vocals. ... My new HD 700s sounded pretty good straight out of the box, but they sounded even better after about 500 hours of burn-in (I left them playing on a headphone amplifier 24 hours per day for 3 weeks). ... The HD 700s sound great! ... "

" ... I've got normal ears, so they fit great. ... "
" ... All that being said, this gave me a real itch to upgrade to the 800's. ... "
" ... Incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods of time - as opposed to other high-end headphones which weigh a ton or feel like the head is in a vice. ... "
" ... The headsets are very comfortable to wear and the sound quality remains stable, which isn't necessarilys the case with my in-ear headphones i-80. ... "
" ... As far as comfort go, I have no major quarrels. ... I have had no issues wearing these for hours. ... "
" ... I wear these for hours and forget I have them on -- except, of course, for the brilliant sound they produce. ... "
" ... They're also extremely comfortable – you can wear them for hours without experiencing fatigue. ... "
" ... Best headphones I've tried to date comfortable don't get hot after long periods of time with them on and large range frequency which makes them great for all kinds of music as well as tv shows an movies. ... They also feel very sturdy unlike bests that squeak and feel like they can break at any time. ... "

" ... Guitars sound wonderful with ultimate clarity and weighty bass like they do in real life. ... Not really recommended for heavy vocal tracks like Rap, Pop, Country, etc. ... The 700s are mini HD800s without their vast soundstage. ... I believe these are the ideal settings as they eliminate the V dip in the upper frequency response 8-15k range and increase the soundstage and sharpness by a lot, thus preserving the original character of these cans - they bring a ton of fun energy which sounds great with metal, trap, or cymbal music or music with mids that need sharp, clarity and accentuation without going overboard. ... You can turn them into deep bass machines or really laid back cans. ... "
" ... Immediately after listening to that first song, the depth and incredibly wide soundstage blew me away. ... "
" ... Doesn't have shake your skull bass, but otherwise these head phones are very crisp. ... "
" ... Bass is full and rich but not excessive - these would not be the headphones for someone who listens primarily to hip-hop. ... "
" ... The huge soundstage allows for a lot of those genres to flourish, but again, at the slight expense of the mids. ... "
" ... However, the HD 700's bass is close to perfect for acoustic music, particularly jazz and classical. ... "
" ... Nice rich bass response, too. ... "
" ... For a mid-range price, you get headphones that deliver high-end sound quality. ... "

" ... Are they worth the money. ... "
" ... The detail is excellent for the price you pay. ... "
" ... The HD 700s initially sold for close to 1000 dollars but they are now selling at a much lower price. ... "
" ... No as detailed as the 800s ,but good value for the price ... "
" ... I just didn't think it was worth the money to use these only to listen to music when I can use other headsets for everything. ... "
" ... Defiantly worth the price. ... "
" ... I power these with a SMSL DAC, which is more than enough to power these, and, for $400, these seem like a great bargain. ... "
" ... Now the HD700's are tremendous value. ... "

" ... Notes: Sennheiser HD 700 Final ... "
" ... For well-recorded tracks, however, the HD-700 headphones are my go-to and are awe-inspiring -- thank you Sennhesier. ... I'd like to own the HD-800S someday, to compare. ... "
" ... It has been almost one year since I received the HD 700 headphones and all I can say is "Wow!". ... Transitioning from the HD 598 to the HD 700's was a substantial leap in sound quality, so it took quite a bit of time to get accustomed to their unique sound signature. ... Who knows, maybe some day I'll have the fortune of owning the illustrious HD 800 S headphones! ... "
" ... I bought the Sennheiser HD 700 headphones to replace my Beyerdynamic T90 headphones. ... I was initially going to buy a second set of Sennheiser HD 650 headphones (I have owned a set for nine years) but I thought I would give the HD 700s a try. ... I love the 650s for rock music: I think the HD 650s are superior to the HD 700s for that genre. ... The HD 700s benefit from a period of "burn-in" (use). ... My new HD 700s sounded pretty good straight out of the box, but they sounded even better after about 500 hours of burn-in (I left them playing on a headphone amplifier 24 hours per day for 3 weeks). ... The HD 700s initially sold for close to 1000 dollars but they are now selling at a much lower price. ... The HD 700s sound great! ... At 150 ohms at 1000 Hz the impedance of the HD 700s is one-half that of the HD 650s (300 ohm). ... The cable on the HD 700s seem more robust than the cable on my HD 650s. ... "
" ... I tried watching TV and movies with them and they didn't live up to the hype. ... "
" ... I bought these to replace my venerable HD 595's, and the HD 700s are a huge improvement. ... I really like the HD 700's precision and the expansive soundstage. ... "
" ... the Sennheiser HD-598, Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium, Grado SR325e and Hifiman 400s. ... I'll mention these as a comparison to help impress what you can expect from the HD-700 if you happen to own any of these. ... The HD-598 is a good all around HP with good sound stage and I mostly use it for watching TV/movies, good mid's and the darkest sounding of this group. ... The HD-700 seem to display most all the things each of the previously mentioned models individually excel at all rolled into one and in most cases does each one even better. ... SR325e, HD-598,DT-990,HD-700,HF400s. ... "
" ... Words fail to describe how thrilled I am with these, as I thought there wouldn't be much difference over my venerable Sennheiser HD 280 Pro (64 ohms), but I was surprised, as these are simply fantastic headphones. ... "
