Im still on the search for a perfect headphone. Its hard to think that no one manufacturer has cracked it. I have some m50's which were my first headphone for getting into this stuff. I got the es700 later after some initial disappointment with the m50. I now see where both headphones fall short...

those headphones are even larger than the m50's. Were trying to progress this guys choice eh

Very lively and dynamic. Like being at a live show, you hear it all around and "feel" the music presence.

What kind of music are you enjoying with the ES700? What sounds best with em. Are they exhibiting a hi-fi sound?

Would anyone describe the ES700 as having a hi-fi sound?

I would really consider the ath-es700 by audio technica. Really sleek and good sound. Sennheiser momentum are also great I hear but don't have much swivel action that you might want in a portable.

Hmm i guess the only thing stopping me from hopping on these es700's is rather or not they are neutral enough and decent bass. Thing is i enjoy some punch in the bass but most music i listen to now is indie (lots of instruments and warm melodies) mixed with some more modern beats every once in a...

Thanks. I've read a lot of people saying they have less. Can anyone elaborate. Is the mid range really standing out or is it just really nice and detailed and still balanced withe mids and highs. I'm looking for a can that's still neutral for mixing and would like a comparison with the ws77 if...

Yea I'm wondering about the ws77 too. How does it compare to the es700? Is the es700 bass lacking at all...sayyy compared to the M50?

I have a pair of M50s I just got and plan on returning because I thought the mids were too recessed and they could be a bit harsh sometimes in the highs. I enjoyed the cushy bass but it kinda wandered into the mids jus a bit sometimes. I don't want to go down much in bass quantity but im really...
