After years of being content with my Philips SBC HP250s (full sized, closed back and cheap) the right earphone finally gave up. So I decided to upgrade and wanted to spend a decent amount of cash this time.
I've spent what feels like DAYS looking at prices, specs, pics, brands, styles, offers from companies around the globe, hundreds of expert and user reviews to narrow it down to 2 open backs for all-round home use. The Sennheiser HD595 and Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 but I CAN'T make the final, epic decision!
Due to the money I'm spending and the standard I've been used to (low), I figure the sound quality on either one is going to keep me happy. What I really want then is super comfort and great build quality/durability but after so many reviews read I've gotten mixed signals. (i.e. good and bad things said about the same aspect of each one)
Please, please, please!!! Make the decision for me - Sennheiser HD595s...... OR..... Audio-Technica ATH-AD700s ????
PS In the meantime I will be trying to find a store to try them out.
