I wonder if it sounds similar to ES10
Interesting, you think that way about the FC700, and ljokerl described them like this in his big review....
My impression is right between the two of you...lol. To my ears, they don't extend terribly far in either the low or high range, but they're nicely balanced and pleasing, with no EQ required.
Just proves the old adage, everyone's ears are different!
I recently bought these Audio Technica ATH-FC700A.
Very open, very very detailed, realistic, bright and lean mids with deep low end.
very flat mid to highs. very clear midrange.
for headphones they sound very large, but the bass is strange, especially in break-in period.
there was more subsonic feeling sound, which went away as the driver gained more control.
It goes very low, but at same time sounds lacking in overall bass region around 90hz.
This is because alot of other headphones of this type have an increased colored bass, but this one does not.. It is very flat.
I boost my portable's EQ only 3db in 90Hhz region to get that thickness I am used to.
Break in period gave even more midrange detail and tighter-controlled bass, instead of more bass.
I would rather have a bassy-er headphones, but cannot go back to duller sounding cans after hearing these.
Edit:
After a year and compared to my SonyV6 and Klipsh one, I am dissatisfied as they are still too lean and bright and while bass is there it is thinly in backgraound and not as punchy as it should be for a closed can with 40mm drivers
osted more comments here:
I had both black and white versions from Amazon.
So far it seems to be an improved version of the ES7 and that's exactly what I was looking for !
