I'm not a fan of the HD 700's sound either. Used to own it. But it looks so cool and has such great comfort as well that I may end up adding it to the collection again someday.
This is exactly the type of reviews that give Head-Fi reviews a bad rep. Reviews like this should be taken off by moderators. Let's see, listening to one song from one amp? But I'm a classical music expert, I've heard it played live! Lol
You listened to it for a couple of minutes at a meet and didn't enjoy it... no offence, but this is hardly a review. Perhaps you should ask this to be removed, for the sake of your reputation. It's often best to post "meet condition listening sessions" as impressions.
I was straightforward about what I heard and how. Is this an exhaustive review? No. But a serious impression. Back and forth between the Senn and the old AKG K-340. I said it was surprising what I heard. But I also suggested that the reader not simply take my word for it but go listen and compare himself. Sorry, but if a phone cannot reproduce a big orchestral piece I'm not interested.
"The orchestral instruments did not sound faithful at all. Lots of distortion high and low, some instruments unrecognizable."
Definitely something off there????...and it shouldn't be the 700s.
