I just got my ATH-AD700s in yesterday - my first pair of "good" headphones. The sound quality is decent, though it didn't blow me away as much as I thought it would, coming from a simple Sennheiser PC-160 headset, and driving them with my Essence STX headphone output.
They're not bad, and quite comfortable, but the main thing that is making me consider returning them is the size. I knew they were going to be bigger than my headset, but I didn't realize quite how HUGE they would be. I think I'd be happier with a set of on-ear headphones rather than something that encompasses my entire ear.
What do you guys think? Comfort wise, I know that's 100% up to me, but would the M-80s be a suitable replacement? They're $100 more, but I'm willing to spend it for something that's comfortable (to me) and that sounds decent.
