Man, there is such mixed opinions on these cans...
I got a surprise audition at a Best Buy/Magnolia Home Theater store, and I have to say I was expecting to cringe, with all I had heard about spiky treble, etc; they sounded terrific to my ears. Not a hint of sibilance, with very smooth, much tighter, more detailed bass than my HD650's. And this was out of my Samsung GIII phone, I really wanted to take it home to my, ahem, Crack and give it a proper audition. If I'd had the money, it almost would have been a toss up between the LCD-2s I had test-driven this morning. The Audeze cans clearly have an advantage in the bass department with that ruler-flat low freq response. The short version is I was shocked at how much I liked the 700s when I expected to be appalled.
Lesson learned.
