Excellent soundstage, excellent clarity, one of the best open headphone at reasonable priceGot it at Rs 8000.. thanks amazon.Not a headphone that you can wear in public, or in library as this being open headphone, the sound, leaks,

A great headphone. Being an open drivers the noise leakage is expected . But never imagined it would leak so much (this is my first open can). You can listen to it 2 rooms across.This are excellent headphones but the real magic comes out only when you drive them through an amplifier. it has maxed out on my k5 fiio amplifier, there is no distortion at the highest amplification. So this headphone can handle a lot of power and can get insane loud without any distortion.People do complain and i too noticed that they do lack bass . But if you run it through amp or a good source . On high volume the bass comes out and slams you like a brick wall. The bass will blow you. It can manage entire range of bass from sub-mid-high bass so the bass is full bodied with the thump, so in short you get the rumble effect of 20 hz of sub woffers on your ears.Sound stage , i think is a myth .but if you have to ask being open cans they have an open sound and not a claustrophobic feel.ConsNoise leakage (so can be used indoors only . You absolutely cannot take them outside)Needs amplificationA recessed lower mid ( but you can ignore it considering the overall package)It is bulky with 3 meter long wireProThey dont heat up the earThey have good bass but only on high amplificationNice spatial location on gamesCan produces compressed sounds faithfully.so has high amount of resolution.Can handle a lot of power so they can get really loud.

My first open back headphones to start the journey to the audiophile world. Great sound.. People complain about the bass though, but it has a decent amount of low end and nice airy presentation of the highs and mids. Listening to acoustic and live performances is an absolute pleasure from a headphone at this price range.Proves itself extraordinary for low-key EDM or electro genres like chillstep and ambient as well.Also tested with BF3 and COD:BO3 and found the wide stereo imaging to be helpful for pin-pointing sound sources.

Awesome Sound Effects.... No one can flank u....its easy to listen footsteps and enemy positions and their spawns in BF4 easily...Good Headphone's go with this mic http://www.amazon.in/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ

I am in love with open back headphones because of these. 700x is my very first open back headphone. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are very good at what they are intended to do. I also have audio technica ath m50x which is a closed back headphone and is a legend in its category but 700x being an open back headphone sounds much better than m50x in every aspect of music, be it clarity, soundstage and impedance. The only thing that 700x lacks is bass response. Bass is inferior than m50x but it's okay with me. Believe you me guys, go for 700x if you want to experience the magic of open back headphones. Audio technica rocks!

My first pair of open back headphones. Audio Technica doesn't fail to surprise me. If you are new to open back headphones look no further. I heard some people complaining about lack of bass but it can be fixed by tweaking the eq settings. My only complaint is the long cable , but it might be of use to some.

These are Open Back headphones. This is a little different from the typical headphones most people have. Since they are open back, the focus is more on soundstage (how wide the sound is and from how far it seems to come) and it does it really well. But this doesnt have the typical treble and bass heavy personality. This one has a great neutral feel to it. You cant really make out in typical bollywood and EDM music. But if you listen to classic rock, jazz, blues, you would be surprised. It leaks sound outside so it not really for wearing in the metro (not portable) and the cable is very very long. Only reason i didnt give 5 stars is because for the price. At this price the AD900x which is slightly better, should be in worth.Suggested Usage: Listening to Jazz, Classic Rock, Instrumental, Ghazals, etcBest used with: Tube headphone amp really makes it sound very very good.Pros:1) Great soundstage2) Very comfortable3) Accurate sound4) Long cable to sit far from your source5) Easy to drive (no need for a headphone amp, although recommended)Cons:1) Leaks sound (its designed that way, not really a con)2) Headband is slightly loose (a rubber band can fix it easitly though)3) Highs can be slightly edgy (fatiguing​) if not using a tube amp.
