I ordered my C700's yesterday from Amazon instead of a pair of AKG K271S since I haven't built my Millett MAX yet (I'm waiting for the PCBs to arrive next week and order my other parts from Beezer as well). So, I decided to grab a set of C700s so I can run them off my 3G iPod or old Phillips PCDP. These C700s may sway me to buy a set of AH-D2000s instead of the K271s and K601s as well. Or I may just jump in with both feet and go for the AH-D5000s.
I have one question though... Has anybody used the C700s on an airplane? I have a set of E2Gs with the foams that I wear on the planes for the isolation, but I know my E2Gs are weighted for more bass and sometimes it's too much with over-produced music tracks and lower bit rates. My concern is having the background noise from the aircraft kill the benefits of the C700s better response and greater sound stage. I'm going to try the ear plug foam mod on the C700s and see if it helps. I'll post up in a couple of weeks after I receive my 'phones and make few flights. I'll be comparing the lower E2Gs against the C700s in the worst environment for background noise, so it might be interesting.
Thanks for pointing me to these 'phones everyone!
Edit: Well, I checked Amazon and because of the free shipping, everything will be shipped together and one of the books has a 2 week lead-time, so my order and 'phones won't ship until the last week of January. This sucks!
