Mine is 504,xxx. Treble is pretty bright. Sounds perfect on a tube amp (SinglePower MPX3), but with the Schiit Fulla I have to EQ it. I'm guessing on a better solid state amp it probably wouldn't be so bad, but still up there.
Mine too is a 504,XXX. When I run it straight through say an iPod or iPhone, it doesn't sound bright, but it sounds... less full. I usually listen through my Mcintosh Integrated, probably not the best head amp, but it sounds great and on some tracks I even tick up the 10k band on the 5 band equalizer to open up the top end. I don't find them bright at all. One caveat, I've been listening to and loving my Grado RS1i for a few years now, so I may be desensitized to harsh treble, at least according to some opinions here. I have a Crack on the way, I hope it's a good match for the HD700.
The one I got from amazon says 3,504,XXX,XXX on the serial number, and the one bought directly from Sennheiser last November says 3,244,XXX,XXX on the serial number. Is that what you guys are talking about? How many revisions are there supposed to be?
