I just arrived home from school to find these sitting on my bed! First listen and WOW, they sound amazing, and they're not even burnt in!

Thanks everyone who persuaded me that Hi-Fi Headphones rock, so glad I got these instead of the Sennheiser PC161.

Well I'm off to listen,
Laronzo.

Congrads!!! So whats gonna be your 2nd can?

 

[captainzoli]

Nice choice. Quit while you are ahead.

 

[Laronzo]

Thanks guys.

Haha, I'm going to be sticking with these for a long time.

It was either these or the Sennheiser HD595 and although both are great headphones the AD-700 seemed more suited to my needs.

You'll have a grand time with those purple guys. I'm jealous.

Glad to hear you're so happy with them - my pair of AD700s are in the mail!

I also had to decide between these and the HD595, and after a lot of research, I just liked the AD700s more.

 

[Laronzo]

Hehe Dissembled.

You will not be disapointed Sine, I've only been listening for about 1 1/2 hours and already they sound great. Can't wait to hear them fully burnt in and with an X-Fi Soundcard.

Laronzo.

Seems like AD700 is getting more popular here

What do you think about the bass performance of the AD700? I have searched for some ad700 reviews and there are some mixed opinions. I would like to hear a more detailed identification of its sound performance from you. Especially in bass department.

 

[Laronzo]

Thanks all.

Iced - This is my first pair of headphones, so I've nothing really to compare them to. Also keep in mind that they're not fully burnt in yet.

But so far the bass has been nice. Not overpowering, but what's there is tight and has nice bit of oompf to it. So far they've been great to listen to, and should be suitable for most music genres. However, if you're a basshead you'll probably want to look elsewhere.

Laronzo.

Thank you Laronzo. I guess ad700 is really source dependent. I may also buy one of these, which I think will match great with corda move.

 

[Laronzo]

Np. I imagine the source will affect it. I'm running them unamped out of an Audigy 2-ZS and the bass is pretty good. With a newer soundcard and an amplifier I'm sure you could get the bass however you wanted it. I suggest you give them a try, they've got alot going for them.

Laronzo.

Hi mate.

Could you possibly see how well they isolate? I know they're open headphones, but I'm considering them and I'd like to know just have much sound they let in.

When I'm watching movies with headphones, my bro is either playing music out of the computer speakers or playing Halo 2 on the Xbox. I can't hear him at all when he's doing this with my current Sennheiser's. Could you test how much sound is let in, from say, watching TV in the same room? Does it interrupt much?

Thanks
