Nitpickyness? Sure thing.
They're not purple, the cups aren't wooden, the balance connection is proprietary, not this level of quality and Bluetooth aptx... Can't think of other things to nitpick about.
hahah i didn't mean it in a negative way. i am really happy he is loving his headphones!!!!
would just love some nitpickyness heh
Relative price-point may be coloring perceptions here; at least it is influencing comparisons. The Z7 is less than US$500 here in Japan so the HD700 comparisons seem very unrealistic to me. (not to mention HE-6 comparisons)
I`d be much more interested in a comparison with something like the Shure 1540 or Foxtex TH600.
Bill I like to go by this. Not sure if you're a lefty or not but I have the same problem and I am a lefty. Not to derail the subject lol
Well, I'm a righty.
But I do have very particular taste in sound.
Very few headphones can satisfy my ears, and I'm hoping the Z7 will be the closed-back full-size to do so, so that I can end my search.
I have a closed-back portable headphone and a full-size open headphone already, but having something full-size and in-between would be wonderful. And especially if I don't have to tweak or mod it.
Since when did the HD 700 become a benchmark for other phones in a positive way? That thing is horrible and I still wonder what Sennheiser was actually thinking when they are capable of something like the HD 800 (a true benchmark).
I can't believe Z7 is being mentioned in the same sentence as HD700
?
This is sarcasm?
Anyway, I agree with Fegefeuer - the HD700 sounded pretty awful to me. It drove me toward the HD800, which may have been Sennheiser`s market-positioning strategy.
Anyway, can anyone compare the Z7 to comparable closed HPs ? I`m not going to make it to the shops today like I had planned . . .
Itching for more Z7 impressions,
d
well guys guess what... the ATH W1000Z is being released, and guess what price bracket it's in :/
I freaking swear this is nutz like every one over there it prepping for a Over Run of the Audio Market , let's hope the W1000Z and MDR Z7 [Z and Z ] have a touch of contrasting sound, as we don't need ATH and Sony pumpin out the same Sound sig...
Oh for eff`s sake.
Decision paralysis; 1st-world dilemmas.
Fotex TH600
Senn DJ H8
Shure 1540
Sony Z7
Ultrasone 880
Now this ATH. At least it has fixed cable and that wonky headband : should make it easier to disqualify. It`s become race of attrition.....
