A700 is a closed Audio technica whereas AD700 is open... u just try listening to both. Open will certainly sound more natural even if Sound Quality is slightly inferior.

My denon d1001k sound leaps and bounds better than the hd555. They're closed. They don't lack bass emphasis and have decent sound stage. They don't make my ears sweat. A700's don't make my ears sweat either, nor do i find them lacking bass.

I'd like to request you stop posting opinions in a manner that makes them seem fact. Every post i've read of yours is like this, or just some other incorrect statement. I swear you cut up pieces of paper with audio terms, toss them around in a box, then pick them out blindly to form your statements.

^ Whoa. You made Ub3rMario angry.

Back on track: Sadly, open cans are impractical for me. It does seem that open headphones generally trump closed ones in SQ, though. At my price point anyway. I mean...KSC75, PX100 v. PX200, AKG K26P; Grado SR60 v. ?. The Denons are a godsent, though. And they're not very closed, even.

Great Ub3rMario, great. Keep on the great work!

But then again, is the d1k really better than the 555s? All a matter of personal taste here guys. Now technically speaking, Is the d1k a more sophisticated headphone than the 555 is the question.

When meager knowledge, expert-masquerading, and intense posting frequency are put together, you have a deadly combination of Nocturnal310.

It's one thing to utter an statement that is, well, lacking in truth.

But it is infinitely more annoying when he does it over and over again and remain unrepentant and habitual. An idiot is annoying. A loud mouthed person is annoying. A loud mouthed idiot is what audiophile calls synergy.

There isn't one thread that would paint the full picture. To fully appreciate him, you'd need to look at his trend.

But somehow, I kinda like this thread.

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/ho...r-20-a-330863/

Typically he'd found out a thing or two on a topic and talk voluminously or promote intensely as if he is an expert. The K1000 vs R10 mentioned in this thread is an example. Only a few days ago it appeared that he didn't know that those phones existed. Now he claimed that K1000 is better than R10, Of course he has neither heard nor even seen one in person.

If he saw or heard something new, be sure that he'd start start a few threads peddling his new discovery, that is not really new.

OMG! That is friggin' hilarious, and spot on...NB, you made my day! Directed at anyone in particular or not, that statement just reeks of awesome.

I have not heard a pair of closed headphones in the same price class as my high end open ones. Open vs. closed is irrelevant since the two types usually do the exact opposite of each other. I got the HFI-680 which provides oodles of bass and isolation whereas my AKG K701s gives me a good open sound stage with lots of high end details. The two headphones are not directly comparable because one is much more expensive than the other.

The best and most thorough comparison of closed vs. open is the one by Edwood. His comparison of the R10, CD3K, and the AKG K1000 is a good read plus he explains the differences in a very neat manner.
