I doubt they sound any different, manufacturers love to make a big deal out of tiny changes in sound and there aren't any to be found here.  Sometimes the headroom graphs are inaccurate.

$100-150 is a fine budget, and there's plenty of good closed cans you can get in this price range, used and new.  Look into Beyerdynamic and Audio Technica.  Eventually you're gonna need speakers, so you don't really need to spend more than that on headphones.  I'd stick with closed headphones.

You mean like this?  

Well this thread sure took a turn for the worst.

Yes, I saw a thread where someone did a fantastic mod to their AD700s, I was considering it myself.

These headphones sell like hot cakes.  Also I think I might have seen some privately listed headphones for sale by brianf, but I'm not sure how private listings on ebay work.

It is very possible that you might not find a headphone you like more than AD700.

The M50s will definitely work for blocking out a lot of sound, though I don't know if they could muffle a baby screaming or something like that.  However, I found them to be a little uncomfortable even after stretching them out.  They clamp so they don't fall off your head, but some find them...

Will these get my M50s in the DT 770 ballpark in terms of comfort? Whenever I put on someone's DT 770s I easily forget that I'm wearing headphones. The M50s just seem too heavy for me, or it could be the clamping, and I am not sure if this mod will help. BTW how much can you bend the headband?

Are the HARX700 good for making bad recordings sound listenable?

Have you tried them on a different source with the same music?
