hello Head-Fi i would like to know your opinion on the AD700x
i am currently deciding on buying a pair for gaming but also just for general use on the go
1. When i wear em can people hear my music?
2. Are they worth the money for video games?
3. Do they overheat my ears?
4. What is the build quality? does it break easily?

Answers:
1.)  Yes they are open so other people will be able to hear your music at nominal listening levels
2.)  They are great for video games.  You can check out MadLustEnvy's game post here:

3.)  They should not overheat your ears as they are quite large and do not seal around the ear
4.)  The build quality is above average
 
Notes:
They are quite large so do not expect to tote them around without getting some serious looks or feel like you have a giant set of cans on your head.
 
They are also bass light so do not expect them to have much bass.
 
Edit:

I usually listen at low volume like 1 or 2 bars on iphone they can still still hear it?
