I am what someone might call an amateur audiophile. I love good music and I love to hear high-quality sounds. from Amazon.com The Audio Technica ATH-AD700 is one fine set of headphones. This is my 4th set of headphones over a bunch of years. from Amazon.com These phones do have bass and it's plenty deep, it's just not boomy and bloated with mid-bass like so many cheap HP's these days. I have tried Sennheiser HD555, HD595, and a couple of other high end cans all ranging from $199-$329 in price. In the end the AD700 was better than them all in my opinion. Compared to both HD models I tried the AD700 has tighter more accurate bass, an unveiled midrange, and crazy highs that are detailed but never sibilant. from Amazon.com These are really excellent headphones. Unlike the "noise canceling" phones that just squeeze your head so tight you can't hear anything, the "Open Air" design of the AD700s make you forget you're wearing them. The only, slightly surprising thing is the color. from Amazon.com I still remember the first time I heard a Sennheiser HD201, I've never heard a headphone that good! When my AD700 came, it simply makes my HD201 sounds thin and bad. For the price, AD700 is quite amazing. from Amazon.com I have listened to "cans" that cost 10 times Amazon price,on the AD700, (which is a very good buy), my only problem is to obtain the maximum acoustic performance I have to use a headphone amp, which I have hooked up to a to an old but trusty Pioneer Changer, that has only analog outputs. These are so fantastic sounding that I am going to invest in a very good Headphone Amp/DAC so that I may experience the sound from my Digital sources. from Amazon.com The first thing he said was how extremely comfortable they were and followed this up with "its like he's never been deaf" (he can hear again). These headphones have improved his quality of life. I also considered the Sennheiser HD 555 but in reading reviews I felt that the ad700s would be more comfortable. I am very happy about my choice. from Amazon.com After years of being disappointed with one set of headphones after another, I was lucky enough to find the Audio Technica ATH-A700's. Not only was the sound quality considerably better than the Panasonics, Bose, and Sennheisers, but they are actually comfortable. from Amazon.com The cable is long enough to allow connecting to the stereo while seating in the sofa (unless you live in Versailles Palace). I compared the sound with a theoretically much cheaper headphones: Grado SR60. The AD700 offer a much more surrounding sound but depending on the type of music you listen to the sound quality varies. If you mainly listen to pop or rock music, I recommend the Grado SR60 or superior models. from Amazon.com I debated for a long time between these Audio Technicas and the Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile Headphones, but based on reviews I read online and comparisons I found between the two, I decided to go with the AD700's. While I certainly don't have both to compare them, I can safely say that I'm incredibly happy with my AD700's. from Amazon.com
