Sure. You are correct. Some just don't like the 700's, because of the sound. And that's fine.
And if you really read my post. You'll see why I didn't like the 700's, and why I like them now.
And It has everything to do with the sound. And if I recall. It does take other gear to create sound out of the 700's. At least the last time I checked.
And for amps. They're all good, by personal standards. One man's trash , is another man's treasure. And I think the standard of a good amp is set upon personal choice and preferences.
What I think is hilarious though, is that you seem to take others personal experiences, personal lol. We all get it that you listen to imperfect headphones, and you love the gear you have to play music on them.
But I guess it's wrong for others to share their same experiences.
Not once have I criticized anyone's gear. I simply stated my journey with the 700's , and my own personal experience to contribute to the forum. You seem to have this insecurity, that you or someone else is being personally attacked for the gear you, or others have.
Seriously. Get a grip bro. It's only headphones. And this is an impressions thread ***! Lol

Of course we can blame anything we want because it couldn't be some simply don't like the HD700's. It has to be the equipment, music source, or cables... not the sound of HD700's
Anyway while I fully agree the HD700's are headphone amp dependent, it also comes down to what you mostly listen to in music. If you like lots of bass and/or EDM, these might not be for you. If you love jazz and classical, these could be right up your ally. Thus primary music genre is also a factor in like/dislike of headphones, including the HD700. That even though you can play all types of music genres with these (I do), that doesn't mean they are perfect for all of them. When I do EDM and want more bass, the HD700's get put aside for my "cheaper", but bassier AT M50X's.
Also, what's considered a "good headphone amp"? And by whose standard? And if I thus found it, and still deemed the headphone's inadequate, would it still be the "equipment's" fault? Or could it still be that I (general use) simply don't like them?
Sorry, but just because you (general use) say it's our equipment doesn't mean it's true. It could simply mean we (general use) don't like the headphones.... period. Sound is subjective and we don't all hear things the same way.
While I personally love my HD700's, I don't love them for everything. Some won't love them for anything, that's the nature of the game.
Anyway I realize this is the "Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread", so while I'm overall impressed with mine, not everyone has to be. That's all I'm saying.
Peace
