I tried HD700 for one hour and I want to buy for three reasons:     .cheaper than hd800...(but not much.)   .smaller than hd800...(can make more smaller?)   .easier to drive than hd800(good for my portable amps)                    

Intro I'd previously planned on not writing any more "reviews" on Head-Fi, but as I've learned, things rarely go as planned. I guess I'll just say this is my latest one of the Shure SRH1840, which I recently bought, mostly because of the raving on it by some very experienced Head-Fiers. The...

I'm currently using a Xonar Essence ST + M-Stage + AH-D5000 combination that I'm looking to improve. I'm thinking of adding a separate DAC and still keep the Essence ST as a low jitter source. Still, the Essence ST is fairly good.  I've been looking at Audio-GD NFB 3 and Schiit Bifrost, but do I...

I have narrowed down my search for a tube based amp (and DAC) to the Little Dot MK IV SE with the DAC 1 or the Maverick AI with the DC2.   I want to run my Sennheiser 700 with a nice starter amp and DAC.     Any recommendations?   

Hey Everyone, I'm a novice to audiophile and I'm trying to get a nice sound after all ^^ Current Rig: Headphones : T1/ED8 Dac/AMP : DacMini Source: MBPro   Genres: Trance/GeoTrance/Rock   I have made a to buy list but I need your advice on it or If there's something can add...

Don't read anything below, perhaps only the introduction if you'd want to do that. Otherwise just see my latest post, thank you.   Thanks for the help, I'm going to a audio specialist within 1-2 weeks, so I don't need any more help for now. I would like to hear some opinions about the...

Have aiaiais but it has veiled highs and is to bass heavy. Any suggestions?

Which one is better with proper amping?

HD700 Review (Purrin + LFF)   Introduction   Headphone meets are one of the best way to get to know how headphones really sound like. Both LFF and I have regularly attended meets. LFF was one of the organizers of CanJam 2009 and attended meets much more frequently in the past. I have...

INTRO   Since joining head-fi around eighteen months ago, I have (surprise, surprise :-) expanded my headphone collection, recently buying a few new items including Sennheiser's HD 800, HD 600, and brand new (at time of writing) Amperior headphones. I didn’t buy them all with the intention of...

Here's a thread for the appreciation of the Sennheiser HD 700 headphone.      Though - at time of writing - I don't have an HD 700 of my own, I've enjoyed them on the few occasions I've listened with them; some of my impressions can be found at the following links:     My initial HD 700...

Hi,  Currently, I am considering to buy the Audeze LCD2 However, the only thing that I am worried about is the place where I stay.   My room has quite high level of humidity (tropical area with no air conditioner at all) Hence, I am worried that I will grow a colony of fungus on the...

Like the title says - was the upgrade really worth it? for those that have made the leap. I'm after a candid response.   I have a Bottlehead crack and HD650 combo and am wondering if the LCD-2 would be the next step up...

  For so many years, year after year, model after model, Sennheiser has consistently made one of the top (and often the top) headphone at just about every price stratum, in just about every category, it chooses to develop and release product in. Such consistency of brilliance has made...

hope this isn't rehashed, couldn't find a similar topic.   i'm wondering if headphone amps are actually better at powering good headphones (something like Sennheiser HD 700) than a mid to upper range AV receiver would. i have a Denon 3313ci which costs a little over $1,000. however, a...

Can anyone recommend headphones that are comfortable for those with big heads? I don't really have any price point in mind, but it seems incredibly difficult to find headphones (particularly of the closed-back variety) that don't give you migraines after long term wear.

So, I've had my HD700 for nearly a year and have been very happy with the noise they make, driving them through a Lehmann Black Cube Linear.   I receive the e-mailers from Moon Audio and noticed they are now doing a V2 Black Dragon and a V3 Silver Dragon for the 700 now. Does anyone have...

I was surprised that the Shure SE535 was more clear sounding than a $700 Sennheiser HD-700 when I was shopping for a new pair of headphones. The big difference between the two is that the Shure SE535 uses 3 different drivers while the HD-700 uses only 1 driver. It might be the reason why cheaper...

Hi folks, I'm a bit overwhelmed. So far I have listened to lossless files on a very old portable amp made by Headroom. I love listening. To all types of music but have a preference for classic rock and jazz. My Dad passed away and left me some money to buy a personal listening "experience " in...

Am currently running my Senneheiser HD700 on a Creative Sound Blaster ZxR soundcard, and to me they sound great, though the phones have a small problem with sibilance, and i wouldn't mind if it was possible to get a bit more oomph/bass out of the cans, without destroying anything else of the...

I have been strongly considering buying the HD700s. I can get a pair of open box ones for $530. I can't quite afford the 800s, and definitely can't afford to adequately power them. I know that the 700s don't receive glowing reviews, but I have heard some good things about them. My main concerns...

Hey all, been doing a lot of searching over the last couple days, and just cant seem to find what I'm looking for.  Here's what I'm working with:   I have a laptop and my PS3 at my desk.  I want to use USB out to the DAC from my laptop, and optical from my PS3.  Connecting to it I will be...

I think I'm not allow to post links to auctions here... but I see a HD700 on ebay right now for $709 free shipping brand new in box...   Too good to be true?

Anyone find a nice carrying/protective case for HD 700? I carry a large backpack with my notebook, etc and would carry the HD 700 in a case inside the backpack.   Thanks for any help.

just did some research and if you look at my last thread you know I am looking for an upgrade for my HD598. All I want is increased bass, without loosing any of the pros of the HD598. The cheapest solution from what I can tell or the viable option for me would be the HD700 or the HD800. (90...
