Well, I had some extra Christmas money and decided to see if Guitar Center would honor their price matching policy and printed off an ad for the V700's for $84.00 and out I walked with my shiny, silver, gaudy cans. They don't sound too bad with my Panasonic SL-CT790 or my MZ-E90 minidisc player. But where they sounded really nice was with my D-25S. Since the D-25S is on the bright, steely side of things, it actually meshed quite well with the V700's mid-bass hump. And since the signal from the D-25 is so strong, and has no bass boost, it's a darned good match.

For the price, I'm very happy. I can use these in the club to hear how the band sounds as their being put on tape, and they're good fun cans (albeit inaccurate) for rock and especially hip-hop/rap, where the music isn't too sonically demanding. A decent all-arounder, much nicer for me than the 7506's, which tend to kill me with the upper mid/lower treble forwardness.

Flame away, and happy holidays...

I listen to it on my HD600s, and am now coming around to thinking that it sounds better on these than my old trusty V6!!

(Hmm... reminds me... must do the Beyer mod to them sometime today...

I must be one of those few people that actually enjoy the pleather earpads. I hate velour because it attracts so much dust and itches after a while.
