ATH-AD700 vs ATH-SQ5

I listen to mostly R&B and trance/electro music. Which one is for me??? Seems like the ad700's offer more with the bigger drivers but why is the SQ5's at a higher level or pricier??

Or which Audio Technica phones will you guys recommend??

Thanks

I own the SQ5's, and I do like it a lot, but it suffers from the common AT weakness of anemic bass. Mids are amazing though, as one would expect, and highs are great too, though with ever slight roll off. It's probably expensive because they're more compact and stylish, and seems to be more of a fashionist headphones than anything else (I'm no fashionista myself, but I got these as a gift, so...). They're definitely compact and portable, though I don't know about comfort as they do make the ears very hot and clamps too much for my liking. Supposedly these benefit greatly from recabling, so I may look into that in the future.
