 Most Gratifying sub-$100 Audio Investment Possible March 7, 2010
Alexander Matheson (Boston, MA)
Wonderful, *wonderful* headphones! Exquisitely detailed, honest sound. The bass, while certainly lower-output than similar 'phones, is very pleasant to listen to. While mostly audible, at comfortable listening volumes, the 700s put out just enough targeted, focused "oomph" to be totally believable sonic performers. I could rave for ages.
The so-called "3-D wing" design is surprisingly comfortable (provided you're upright). Does sound leak out? Yes, of course!--they're open-back 'phones! If you're looking for transit-optimal 'phones, these aren't your ticket. But if you're wanting the hi-fi of your dreams wrapped around your head for a song, this'd be it :)
Joyous listening! Thanks, A-T!
Amazing! No more sweaty ears! March 3, 2010

I have a set of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs studio headphones that sound amazing, but I can't wear them for too long because my ears ... start sweating.
I got these open air headphones and they are awesome. They are huge, but fit very comfortably and no more sweaty ears!
Some reviews complained that they are too big. I fixed that by bending the two wires on top. It was very easy to adjust and now I have the perfect work headphones.
These are open air headphones so there is some sound spillage (you can hear what I'm listening to), which is not an issue because I have my own office. If you work with other people next to you, this might not be appropriate.
It's also nice that you can hear if someone starts talking to you because the headphones let some sounds in, but are isolated enough to fully enjoy the music.
I go as far as saying that these are the best set of headphones made for people working on computers.
INCREDIBLE FULLY DYNAMIC RICH LARGE CRISP CLEAN SOUND February 28, 2010

I will just say this. You have not experienced these headphones until hooked up to a proper source and have them amped.
I had these hooked up to a non-amped creative card and yes they sounded very good but it was a if I had to use a word "basic" very good sound, and as others have said the bass was extremely lacking if you like powerful bass.
HOWEVER!!!!
I decided to give these babies the chance they really deserved. I bought a Xonar Essence STX with the built in AMP.
Now let me tell you...................................
The first time I hooked them up and every single day since, I AM and HAVE BEEN completely blown away. The sound difference is from here to the moon and 10x beyond. Everything that shined in these headphones before became times more prevalent and YES EVEN THE BASS is NOW VERY POWERFUL RICH ACCURATE AND STRONG.
I am extremely satisfied with these headphones combined with a solid source.
Amazing for listen to music February 26, 2010

This is the best headphone I have used. I recommend if you want to listen to music in a very comfortable way. I tried this headphone on some first shooter games and it is ok, but I would not advice it if that is you main purpose.
By the way, this phone is supposed to be used in quiet places. So, if you live in a very noisy environment I would not suggest it.
 Almost no low frequency February 25, 2010

Bass-heads beware, if you like listening to any hiphop music, you wont get the right feeling with these, mind you I have a Sound Blaster sound card, designed to get the most bass out of my music experience.. even turned all the way up, I could not hear or feel ONE thump in any song I played for these..
The bright side- if you are not a basshead,
and like a crystal clear sound, these are great headphones for you,
and extremely comfortable. The most comfortable full headphones ive ever put on my head, I was just disappointed in the level of bass output.
