Hi, my first post :) Jumped in at the deep end with these; had a large amount of credit to use so bought some HD700's! Always wanted a proper pair of phones; never spent more than £60 in the past... System is quite simple, Computer Audio based:   Shuttle XS36V (running...

Im currently saving to upgrade Tia pair of hd 700s. I love the look and feel of them, most curious what you guys think what would a food portable amp be. Im now lookivg at a bit head. Any help would be much appreciated

Hello everyone, I'm new here and am hoping someone can help/advise me.   I just bought a set of HD-700's not quite one year old and with only twenty hours break-in. I've put in a dozen hours over the past week. I use a Rhinelander amp.    So here's my issue: Listening to a high-res flac...

I've been all about IEM's and have had quite a few but now I'm looking for a good full size headphone and I really don't know much about full size cans at all.  The ones I've listed are all around $1000 and I'm open to suggestions but want to keep it under $1500.  I'm really not picky when it...

Hi guys,   what would you consider to be the best selection of headphones at about £600. The sennheiser HD700's have caught my eye with a great deal of people giving them a great review. Are there any obviously better alternatives that i have over looked at this price point. Also, i have a...

I'd like to make a custom cable for my HD700, but I can't seem to find the 2.5mm mono jacks for the headphones. The problem is that they have a very small diameter and everything I'm finding looks too big. Does anyone have ANY idea where I could find a pair of 2.5mm mono plugs whose shafts are...

I hear they have pretty fast transients resembling electrostats in that respect. I really love the lambda sonic signature. Would the HD700s sound anything like electrostatics? I particularly enjoy the lambda's mids, and the airy treble in the sounds of acoustic guitars.   Another thing I...

In the thread in this forum on the AES2012 paper about perception and measurement of headphone sound quality, I asked the Harman research team whether they have considered measuring desired headphone frequency response using loudspeaker playback on a dummy head as reference, similar to what is...

Just came back from Macworld in San Francisco and to my amazement, Sennheiser is selling HD700 for $749 and Momentum for $249. Their retail prices are $999 and $349, respectively, so it's quite a deal! The return window for for my HD700 ended yesterday and I paid full price for them so I'm quite...

Hi I'm looking for a DAC/Amp combo for my HD 700.   Should be preferably about max. 700$ and be better than a colorfly c4 player because I already own one of these. Would use it with my laptop. Or is it maybe better to buy a cd-/sacd-player?? I´m really lost on this matter  so if anyone...

I will make a trip to NYC recently. Can anyone tell me is there a store or something where I can listen to headphones?? Place close to Manhattan would be most ideal! Thanks a lot for answering! 

Where would one go to buy the 2.5mm mono connectors used to attach a headphone cable to the Sennheiser HD700 headphones? Is there a parts store that sells these?  They need to be narrow to fit in what seems like an ordinary plug.

Since there is no direct comparison between these tow marvelous headphones, i started this thread. I was determined to get the Audeze LCD-2 but the HD 700 proved it self. From what I know the HD 700 has more detailes, cleaner sound and enormous sound stage against the LCD-2. if that is true then...

Hi guys,   Long time no post, can someone confirm whether the new HD 700’s are a massive upgrade to the HD 650 combined with the glorious Cardas cable please?   Thanks alot :) M

Hello Head Fi, I am a newb. And I am gonna receive a Sennheiser HD 700 as a gift this June. So, I immediately went to the only good Audiophile store I know in the Philippines, Egghead. And I found out that the best Amp they have over there is the ALO Pan Am. Now, I gotta ask myself a...

I have owned HD600 in the past but I didn't like it a whole lot. I'm looking to get HD700 and see if it is a better choice.   I am currently using T1's and I just love them. I'm not gonna get rid of this phone for HD700, I'm just looking for something fun to extend the collection with. Or...

Hi everyone. New user here. I've gotten into the world of audiophiles recently "thanks" to a friend. Now my bank account is in a drought. Anyways, I got the M50 a few months back, and at the time they were an amazing upgrade from my long list of $20 headphones. However, summer came and it got...

Hello head-fiers, I recently purchased Sennheiser HD700. I ordered Matrix m-stage amp and Schiit audio Modi DAC for temporary use. (I am on a low budget atm after I bought 700 I will be upgrading to a 900 dollar dac amp at the end of this year suggestions please?). I was wondering if the...

Hi. I don't know much about audio equipment and i'm hoping you guys can shed light on my concerns.    I'm currently enjoying the Sennheiser HD700 and ATH-W5000 with my iPod Classic and the HiFiman HM-602. I'm into pop, rock, jazz and am most concerned with getting the best possible...

I just bought them today. Took the mesh off to check if everything was in order but then noticed a a small dent on the driver a picture is attached below.     Just next to the big blue arrow. It does not seem to be a hole but still i dont think it should be there. Any one from...

I'm pretty new to the whole audio obsession but nonetheless I am very curious about all the stuff. I have seen some post about tube amps and their benefits over solid state but I am curious as to what headphones pair well with tube amps and why they don't drive all headphones like they should?

Hi everyone I am fairly new to this website sorry if i posted in the wrong section :P Ok so i am just about the average listener, not really an audiophile compared to many of you guys out there. I am actually very into sound however the thing is i never had the time to sit down on a computer...

If you have the chance to listen to these headphones, be very careful! They can send shivers up and down your spine and give goose bumps all over your body! This has happened to me many times, especially when I throw them some good music:   Porcupine Tree – Blackest Eyes  Frankie Goes to...

Hi everyone. I may have some issues with my HD700 and I need a second opinion. While listening to some bass heavy music I noticed that the left channel made all kinds of cracking sounds on higher volume like when the driver overextends way beyond it's limits. The things is that this is only...
