    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I dropped them last night.  So sad to see them laying on the floor like that.  Anyway, one of the ear cups popped off and it gave me a heart attack.  None of the plastic tabs were broken or anything, and I managed to gently reattach the ear cup, although I didn't really now what I was doing.  I...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Phillips is 3 weeks late on my refund for these headphones.  They appear to not give a damn that I got stuck with a bad product.  Never buying a Philips product again.

    Got mine for $530 at amazon a couple weeks ago.

    They are also probably the most badass looking high-end headphone I have ever seen.  It feels good putting them on when I'm about to play BF4.  I know its superficial, but it adds to the fun factor for me.  I am a sucker for that stuff at times.  I like aesthetics.  It adds to the experience. ...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    When I first heard the 700's a couple days ago I really didn't know how I felt about them either.  Comparing them to my X2's, they were so different that I didn't know if it was good, worse, better or what.  The mids sounded hallow or forward or something, I don't know how to describe it.  That...

      Sorry if your previous post went in one ear and out the other.  I am especially wondering about the high output impedance of the ZxR.  People seem to make a pretty big deal about that, so I was wondering what people's opinions are as far as putting a performance loss in percentage form.  It...

    OK guys, how much am I missing out on by driving these with a ZxR?  Really now, I know people hate sound cards because they are often targeted at gamers and we all hate gaming, gimmicky stuff, but what am I missing here by using these cans with this sound card?  50% less performance?  20%?  1%?

    How did you get the HD700's to float in the air like that?

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I have been using the HD700 tonight.  Firstly, the fit and finish and aesthetic is incredible.  The sound threw me off at first.  It was different from the X2 I had been using.  It took about 10 minutes of use and my brain started to adjust to the sonic differences and I began liking it.  I...

    The 700's arrived at my house.  I look forward to checking them out.  I'll come back here with my opinion and I'll compare them the best I can to the X2's.  Nothing long winded.  Just my opinion of the phones for my uses.  There is a tremendous amount of garbage separating me from that moment...

      Hey I have an idea.  I think the ZxR lets you change out the OP amps or whatever they are called.  I don't know much about them, but I do know you can get them to change the sound a little based on preference and I can research and put some more complimentary ones in the ZxR if I find it too...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    To be honest I just like trying new things once in a while.  I expect the 700's to be of high quality, but more importantly very different from anything else I've tried.  I will probably enjoy the whole super airy thing for a while, get bored with it and buy a pair if bassy closed cans.  I'll...

      Thank you for the input.  I decided that the crystalizer makes things sound too bright and I had to disable it even for the DT770's and the X2's.  If the HD700's are already treble heavy, I think turning on the crystalizer would make them go crazy in that area.  I think all the crystalizer...

    Trigger pulled!  Damn these things almost cost me $600.00 after taxes.  Never thought I'd buy phones this expensive, but I am an extreme guy who enjoys ridiculous crap.  I will feel better when I get my refund check from the X2's in 4-6 weeks (they take forever).  I'm pumped!  I want to play...

    They do bass better and sound stage size also?  I'm sold.  Thanks.  Also, from what people say about these I was under the impression that the lower frequencies weren't even generated from the 700's drivers.  People say they basically have no bass at all and that the only sound coming from the...
