Just received the JVC HAS700 today. To note, my hat size is 7 3/4, so my head is fairly large. The problem with my ATH-M50s were that they seemed to clamp onto my head, so I would get a headache after about half a hour of usage. The S700s fit extremely comfortably over my ginormous head.
Perhaps I need to use my M50s more often to loosen the headband.
Regardless, I don't consider myself an audiophile at all - I wouldn't even know where to begin, but I've listened to a few John Mayer songs on my iTouch (Treble Booster EQ) and the sound is surprisingly really decent out of the box. A few days of burn-in should loosen up the sound as it sounds a a tiny bit muddy. Also, it is quite bassy, but I don't mind this. I haven't tested out the noise isolation yet (on the bus anyways).
Another thing to note is the build quality. I feel the wires are of the same quality you would find in cheap-o $10 earphones. I'll have to be careful not to accidentally bend the wires, as there's no warranty coverage. The headphones are almost entirely plastic on the outside except for the metal on the inside for the extender and the leather surrounding the headband.
Aesthetically speaking, they look great and are very lightweight (compared to my bulky M50s).

edit:
No back of the head picture because it was way too awkward to hold the camera backwards lol. My arms aren't long enough. Sorry. It's the same exact way as the front anyways.
