Need advice... ATH-AD700's + HFI-780's = ?
I own both these phones. To cut to the chase... The ATH-AD700's, there are 2 things which prevent me from using these phones as my "listening to music" phones. First, the bass on these phones is weak. Second, these phones suffer from dynamic compression... further diminishing their bass...- ickyman

I love my ATH-AD700's, but..
First off, I love these headphones... they sound great. My only complaint... as I feel others have commented on, they are a bit weak when it comes to bass. This is by no means to turn anyone off to these phones. Their merits far surpass my gripes. I, like many of you ridiculous people...- ickyman
