I had the T70 and T5p at the same time and ended up choosing the T5p because it got more listening time than the T70. The T5p does not have the same intimate midrange/treble forwardness as I hear in the T70 so that is the only thing I miss a little bit of in the T5p when comparing to T70. I could easily settle down with T70. I truly enjoyed the T70 for a long time but the T5p does a lot of other things a little bit better and sounds a bit fuller. The resolution is at the same level but most of all the soundstage is bigger or different with T5p. I think you are correct in saying that T5p places itself in the middle of T70 and HD650. But much closer to the T70. The T5p is still bright compared to HD650.
The T70 is also a demanding headphone when it comes to source material and it can sound a bit boring if not fed correctly. The T5p however is more forgiving which makes it more versatile for me because I listen to a lot of different material from CD's, high-rez files and Spotify either when in transport and at home. So for me the T5p covers more listening situations and the T70 is a more "feinschmecker" kind of headphone. I hope this makes sense.
So if you like the T70 signature and do not find it too thin or bright I would say - stay with the T70 until you have heard the T5p first. You might not find that the difference is worth the extra money!
I was planning to buy T5p, but wonder how much it differentiate from T70, which I currently own. I also have HD650. Like the lush sound, but compering to T70 so much details are missing with HD650. So more precisely my question leads toward: If T5p is smoother that T70, and closer to lush sound of HD650m but with tree detailed image of music?
