New Head-Fier
Pros: Mids, Comfy & pretty flat spectrum
Cons: painfull treble-spike, over-priced & bass
So ill keep this short, and ill relate this to the norwegian market.
 
I have both Sennheiser HD650 & HD700, my experience with both is awesome, therefore I had huge expectations to these as in Norway the T70 
is in the same price range as the Sennheisers. Even with High-end headphone amp I feel i miss something, I were running them at 250Ohm, and the clarity was
great though it sounded so "surgical".
 
With surgical i mean that while other headphones in this range plays and actually gives me a greater experience of the original song, then these seem to
either make the music sound ****, or make the songs flaws so accurate that I no longer feel the same good dynamic sound. 
 
The closed pads are actually really good, they are comfy and you can wear them for quite the time. 
 
If you have the money, look towards Sennheiser or maybe AKG, its not worth the money. (In Norway these are about 4000NOK, comparable to 520$!)

"painfull treble-spike"  YES - but it seems very individual, some love it, some hat it ... I am on the hater side ...

I have the same feeling about them, of missing out on something. But my source and amp is a Fiio E10k. Which amp do you pair them with?

**TRIGGER WARNING**
 
This is my opinion.
 
The first time I heard them, I was astounded as I had not heard such crisp and clear vocals before in my life. I purchased them and brought them home so very excited! I plugged them in, turned on a song I know well and ~5 minutes later regretted buying them. I figured since I have them and spent $250, why not just keep listening to them.
 
Fast forward about four days and I was in love. The treble spike people speak of begins to disappear, I assume because the brain is adapting to it's sound, and they become quite magical. It seems that my preferred sound signature is more analytical than any other. Comparing them to my UE900s and HE-400, they eat them for breakfast in terms of vocal performance.
 
Like most others, however, I do agree that the bass is lacking quite a bit. There is virtually no "punch" at all and the sub-bass remains subtle, yet present. I have checked out the InnerFidelity frequency response graph and am aware of the impedance spike at the ~100Hz area. I use the Fiio E09k as my main amp, so it may be a little underpowered.. I'm not sure.
 
Long story short.. if you love an analytical sound then I say grab a pair.
