Sennheiser HD700 Review

If you like listening to high-quality music or if you like to be called an audiophile, you'd probably have heard about Sennheiser. If you're even more enthusiastic, you'd also have read about the HD650 and the HD800. The HD650 has been a legendary pair...

When it comes to weight, the HD700 headphones might sound heavy in the spec sheet as they weigh close to 1.6 kg. However, wear them and you’ll realise that they really aren’t that heavy at all. The insides of the cans are extremely spacious so there’s...

Sennheiser HD 700

Sennheiser's new HD 700 ($999.95) over-the-ear headphones sound "effortless," without strain, harshness or aggressive edge. Their stereo soundstage is more open and spacious than you'll hear from most audiophile headphones, and the bass, midrange,...

The Sennheiser HD 700 is a large, full-size audiophile headphone model with a wide-open sound profile and transparency that sounds great on digital music players.

The HD 700 is very expensive, so some buyers might be put off by the amount of plastic used in the design.

Sennheiser's HD 700 isn't just one of the best-sounding headphone models we've tested, it's also remarkably comfortable to wear for hours at a time.

DISCLAIMER: I finally managed to get a sample of the highly discussed Sennheiser HD700 a couple of months after Mike was in possession of the pre-production sample. Do...

Thanks L, I’ve been rethinking this and might try the HE-500 instead.

Too colored

At first it sounds exciting and different but after a while I started missing my HD 650 because the sound is more realistic, the HD700 is very comfortable and fun but only at first, painful with certain genres of music.... I prefer to use the HD650 or...

More Forgiving for my tired ears...

I've had the HD800's for over a year now and I love them, but man, it's like living with a perfectionist. You have to have the best tube amp, with the best after-market cable and the best lossless audio source for it all to work together. Well, when I...

Either the HD700 or the HD800 ....

My hope is that this review will complement the material in the other reviews, and not be simply another rehash of how great the sound is. Of course the sound is great; it lives up to expectations, and the headphones are worth the price if you listen...

Warmth and elegance characterize Sennheiser's penultimate top of the line headphones

Designed to fill the gap between the HD 650s and the flagship HD 800s, the new HD 700s essentially share the status of flagship top-of-the-line headphones with the 800s. The open 800s are superb dynamic headphones featuring spatial accuracy and...
