AD700 is overall better than HD555 and is good all-rounder.

Wow, I think you forgot to put "IMHO". I would say exactly the opposite.

i think the hd-555 is great all around, but i havent heard the ad700 yet.

Do you think it is a must to put "IMHO" whenever anybody post anything? I think it is the default meaning. If somebody wants to claim something as an absolute truth, then let him to add extra wordings and bases. I do not like the idea to start my posts with "IMHO". There is nothing other than "IMHO" in any personal claims, so why to mess with more letters?

"AD700 is overall better than HD555" is a very subjective and somehat radical statement. It irritated me as I have the exact opposite view. Perhaps "I personally prefer the AD700" would have been a little less irritating. Thank you.

To OP: search head-fi to get the better picture of "AD700 vs HD555". I remember a few polls and direct comparisons, including "AD700 vs HD595" variation.

According my experience, the difference between HD555 and AD700 is more from sound signiture than sound quality. Choose a style fit you better.

Probably my English is not good. Does "overall" has a meaning of "general consensus"?

I'd have thought it meant, "In every sense" or "in every area".
