And to be clear, in regards to the HD700's treble issue that I described-- I don't just mean it has emphasized treble. Generally speaking I found it to be a touch bright but I actually really liked the signature (my favorite headphone is the DT880 and the HD700 was quite similar in that regard). Personally I would not say the HD700 is overly bright. The issue was that a very small section of the treble frequencies sounded overly-emphasized and *distorted*. To my ears, the HD700 sound like they are clipping in this frequency range. I don't know what causes that and its the first time I've heard a mid/hi-end headphone sound like that. Obviously clipping is something that happens in the source, not in the headphones, but this issue I'm trying to describe sounded exactly like clipping and/or distortion from an over-emphasized signal. It was very strange and very disappointing.
