That is why the amp used is important with the HD-700, I couldn't stand them with my Asgard2, Magni, and AH-01 while they sound great with the Ember, pretty good to great with BH Crack and pretty good with Lyr2 depending on tubes used. My GF who is much more sensitive to highs only uses the Ember and X3 with the HD-700.
It's not an amp thing. It just takes some getting used to if you are coming from veiled headphones. Though, make sure you have low output impedance for them to sound right.
