Does the cable weigh 17 grams?
And I HIGHLY!!!!! doubt anyone is selling a fake HD 700.

I have the HD700 and the Momentum. Never heard the 650. The bass on the Momentum is somewhat exaggerated but decent. Definitely a bass-lovers phone. The 700 raises the level of impact and preciseness way beyond. Sound stage and mid/trebles really shine. But they are 2 different phones, open versus closed so they will have limited similarities. The 650 and the 700 will be closer. What are you using for source, amps, files? That will all make a difference. The 700 will let you know you are listening to a sub-par file. The momentum is more forgiving. My suggestions is to get both as they do different things. But to chose one, the 700 by far. Too
many things it does well to list out.
I plan to use the 700 unamped.
I've listen to it on the X3 unamped, which has similar amping to the X5, and it was capable of providing enough power to be enjoyable. Yes I certainly prefer using an E12, but I bet it'd sound fine on the X5.
i would not use the hd700 unamped with a dap.
i have the akg k812 and the hd700. i tried both on the ibasso dx90 unamped, mostly flac files and some 320bps mp3's.
the k812 sounded great. the hd700 sounded dull, no texture, no soundstage, no imaging.
the dx90 could make the hd700 LOUD but it didn't have the power, and so the control, to make it sound GOOD. otoh, the hd700 sound terrific from the phone out of my integrated amp [nad c375bee]- great soundstage, imaging, texture and so on.
the hd700 is supposed to be a lot easier to drive than the hd800. but the hd700 isn't THAT easy to drive if you want good sound.
The HDP R10 can drive upto 600ohm headphones...I think it would'nt have any problems with the 150 ohm hd700,would it?
Hello People,
I recently got a pair of HD700 - driven off a Chord Hugo and they sound great but I have a couple of questions...
1. Break - in, How long? I've been driving them for about 3 days non-stop and they still haven't broken in.. the sound get's better but I still feel the bass especially sounds a bit muffled..? I've seen some people claim they need 300 hours break in - is that true?
2. The head band keeps sliding off my head... I have longish hair and as I walk around the room the headband keeps sliding forward to the point where the headphones can almost fall.. I've never had this problem with other headphones...?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
