Don't count out the PX100, they don't sound that far off from the HD600. Not as damped, detailed, or as neutral, but all of the music is still there.

+1 on the PX100. Those and the Koss KSC75 were my first decent headphones. I decided to keep the KSC75 since the PX100 had a little too much bass for me.

He could go further and apply dynamat to the inside cups and add some stuffing in there, but I think that just reduces the bass further. I have some pretty high end audio equipment (car and home), and the 700s sound plenty "clear" to me afterward. Not perfect...they could be better. But for $35, it's totally worth buying. Either way, they're a pretty safe buy for a first-timer. $35 isn't TOO much if you don't like them. |

This details the mod (felt removal and more) for the HA-RX900, but applies for the 700 as well. First burn them in for a while (75+ hours). If you still don't like the sound, try the felt "removal" mod. If you still don't like it, do the dynamat mod. If still not to your taste, try the acoustic stuffing.
In the end, if you still don't like it, you're only out $34-40, and someone will probably buy them off you.
Keep in mind, though, that they are pretty big headphones. Comfy and stay on easily, but big.
