Wait, what? I thought it was a legitimate question. New thread material, perhaps...
Sorry, sooz...
On topic, I'm in the early stages of listening to my new AH-C700s. First impressions after the original owner's several days of burn-in: Wonderfully full, detailed, and immersive bass. Impressive detail across the frequency spectrum, in fact. Lovely highs, mids a bit diffused (vs. up-front) but still very present. Also a bit more sharpness than I would prefer when it comes to the sibilant aspects of recorded material; it may actually be a testament to the C700s' revealing-ness...but my impressions seem to mirror HeadphoneAddict's on that front. I've done some experimenting with various tips (the Shure e2 soft flex and Ultimate Ears silicone being the most successful) and think I prefer the UE silicones at this point. I must say I'm hard-pressed to find a clear winner between these and the Atrio m5s...They are both excellent earphones that make the choice more a matter of sonic preference than absolute sound quality. That said, I do believe the Atrios are still my personal faves thanks to their slightly smoother signature.
