I think NC700's a keeper. This sounds much realistic than PX7 which sounds rather muffled with no sub bass. Very uninteresting.
Of course, the microphone's the best but I would give negative on comfort. I was going to also try out Sony M3 but will hold off for M4.

 

[dhc0329]

I have no problem with the overall sound signature of NC700. It's quite transparent with the well balanced bass frequencies
but its bluetooth stability is not something to boasting about. I get constant disconnect/connect state forcing me to shut down the
bluethooth connection and reconnect. My galaxy phone's fine but it's nitemare on DX229.

If this keeps on, I may have to replace it with Sony M4 as soon as they release it.

All features are fully usable out of the box without a phone. You can customize some button functionality such as switching between 0 and 10 noise cancelling with a single button press instead of 3 button presses for 0 to 5 to 10 to 0 (by setting the middle value to 0). The configuration is stored on the headphones.

Houston we have a equalizer!

My cans definitely sound better after the update in general. They now have a bit more “punch” when flat, which is great.

How is the sub-bass quality compared to planars? I got rid of my NC 700 because I felt the driver couldn't handle the sub-bass even if they added EQ later.

Yes and they go extremely high volume...

No dynamic headphone can give you planar-base...just physics.

A DSP-corrected dynamic driver can have extremely low distortion sub-bass with more slam than a planar, such as in the QC 35. There are almost no headphones which can compete with the sub-bass quality and quantity of the QC 35 out of the box. The treble is still distorted though, which they fixed in the NC 700, but then screwed up the sub-bass.

DSP only serves to increase distortion...not help it. Your comments of the QC35 are a bit over the top...and I liked them. Go listen to a pair of Audeze Mobius...it is on a different level of existence.

After the update, they’re doing the QC35 bass thing much better. You can turn it up and get slam going. They also turn into a massive bass sound when you crank the bass and turn the anc off .

Software can do only so much with physical drivers and their limitations. Still great NC headphones that are super comfy and compete with the NC700s.
