Hailey Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Quite possibly the best headphones you'll find for the price. Here's a review: Sennheiser HD700 Review - Our Official Headphones Review Here they are: Lightly used for about three months. I listen to classical music. Condition 9/10. Although they look new to me. Why am I selling? Because I'm an idiot. I just bought the HD800S, which I doubt are going to be 10% "better" let alone four times as good. So the HD700s have got to go...to cover the sales tax on the HD800S. Headphones ship in original box, including the original Sennheiser storage case case. $450 or best offer. PayPal and shipping CONUS are on me. I've now sold three items on CA, and everybody has been really happy with what they bought. I also have a perfect seller's record on EBay (check out my profile...60second_dabbler) Oh, one other thing: I'll list these on EBay, maybe tomorrow, if they don't sell here first. Link to comment
bobbmd Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 'better' than my HD 598's or my RS/HD 195's ?? Link to comment
Hailey Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 With respect, the HD700 is in a different league than the HD598. It's just better at everything. In fairness to the HD195s, they're a different beast altogether, being wireless: Their selling point is convenience. Sonically, I would not compare them to the HD700. But ask around and see what others say. Now, if you wanted to ask about HD650 vs HD700, well, that might invite a "tastes great, less filling" argument without end. The HD650 has fierce partisans. In my opinion, the HD700 crushes the HD650 but "them's fightin' words." Link to comment
karmanfamily Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've owned: Audio Technica W1000, W3000 and W5000. Sennheiser HD600, HD650. Beyerdynamic T1, DT880. Grado RS2, 325i, 125. Hifiman 400, 400i. From all those the Sennheiser HD700 are the most comfortable, neutral and enjoyable. I use them in my office for up to 6 hours at once. Tried that with all of the above and none of them lasted that long. Just the Audeze LCD-3 sounds WAY better, but is heavy and not as comfortable. Happiness is wanting what you have. Link to comment
Hailey Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yeah, to be honest, I'm feeling like a profligate ninny on the HD800S. The HD700 are a great set of cans. I probably should have left well enough alone. Oh, well. Too late now... Link to comment
Hailey Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 I should have done my homework. You can buy these now, new, on Amazon, for $458. Wow. Ok, so I'm dropping my price to $297, shipped to CONUS. Link to comment
Hailey Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Here's the EBay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/322213834396 Link to comment
Hailey Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 FYI, I just received my HD800S pair today. I would say the HD700s are 98% as "good." Maybe 99%. Geez... Link to comment
Sal1950 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Here's the EBay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/322213834396 Looks like you got a number of hungry fish on the hook. You should do well by end of auction. Personally I'm happy with my HD650's "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years. How is it possible, how did it ever happen, that they trust fairy-tale purveyors and mystic gurus more than reliable sources of scientific information?" Peter Aczel - The Audio Critic R.I.P. MQA 2014-2023: Hyped product thanks to uneducated, uncritical advocates & captured press. Link to comment
