I was planning to use my AD700s as portable phones but when I got them I realised just how massive they are, unless A700s are vastly different or you're totally indifferent to what people think, I'd advise against orienting yourself from that point of view.
Oh, I googled some people wearing AT phones to show you what I mean (yes, when you think about it that's pretty weird :P):
