According to our headphones expert
With the Sennheiser HD 700, Sennheiser introduces a new premium product from the high-end segment. With this pair of headphones, it doesn't matter which style of music you prefer: classic, jazz, or rock, everything is reproduced as natural as possible. The special 40mm drivers can deliver high sound pressure levels while the ventilated magnetic system minimizes air turbulence which in turn reduces sound distortion. The open ear cups facilitate an especially transparent reproduction. To protect the ear, Sennheiser has built in a 3-dimensional cushion that ensures that the sound is evenly distributed across the ear canal. For extra comfort, the Sennheiser HD 700 has very soft ear cushions, so your headphones won't irritate you when you're listening for hours. All these techniques have been incorporated in a remarkable stainless steel casing. With the Sennheiser HD 700, you'll have a pair of eye-catching headphones that you can use to enjoy listening to all styles of music.

When I ordered the Sennheiser HD700 to replace my (slightly outdated but perfectly working) HD 570 there was secretly the fear that the difference in quality would not be that huge despite the high-end price.
Due to Coolblue's usual service, the HD 700 was delivered on the agreed day.
The fear of a minimal difference in quality between the two headphones quickly proved unfounded. The HD 700 sounds very defined and the smallest details are perfectly reproduced. Even in complex passages, all instruments remain easy to identify and distinguish from each other.
One important note, however: The Sennheiser HD 700 comes with a standard Jack connection! (and therefore no mini-jack connection as on most PC sound cards, MP3 players or smartphones) Somehow it makes sense since these headphones are intended for more high-end configurations and also needs a good quality source to come into its own.
Of course there are also transitions from Jack to mini-Jack but you have to take it into account that the connection itself in that combination is about 10 cm long, which is of course not really practical.
I myself have the HD 700 connected to the Asus Xonar Essence One and in that combination it really sounds incredible...
Furthermore, the HD 700 is very comfortable, personally I can wear it for hours without it disturbing.
Decision: The HD 700 comes with a serious price tag, but they are by far the best headphones I've heard.

This replacement for my 22-year-old Sennheiser HD 530 II is a big step forward, especially in the bass reproduction. The definition of the sound reproduction is astonishingly good, so that the smallest details in the music are perceptible. The headphones are very comfortable to wear and have plenty of room for the ears. These headphones are once again good for many years of listening pleasure. Unfortunately, an adapter is required for connection to a laptop. But you only really get to know the quality of these headphones when they are connected to a good external sound card.

After doing some research, I ordered the Sennheiser 700HD, and as you are used to from Coolblue, shipping was flawless, and I also received it on a Sunday!
Once inside I was quite pleased so especially after the research I was convinced that these were my kind of headphones but unfortunately... They are not and I will tell you further why..
First off you need to have a pretty good amp if you really want to get the very best sound out of these headphones, I used a FiiO myself.
You get crystal clear sound from these headphones, you can pick up the mids well, close your eyes and you could swear you're there during the studio recording of the song itself.
But one thing I didn't like about the Sennheiser 700HD and that is its bass, yes the Sennheiser has a beautiful deep bass that you can hear well, but it was simply not loud enough for my taste. I like a mighty bass that makes you think "WOW!" and the Sennheiser couldn't give me that.
Anyway, Gaming with these headphones is a big plus, try Battlefield 4, you get the feeling that you are really shooting with a weapon, Explosives are clear and close and make you feel like you are really in a warzone.
Let's not forget that these headphones are guaranteed to give you positive reactions, because they have a very nice design and the material and wearing comfort are top notch of these headphones. It can hardly be otherwise because it is a 'Sennheiser' and they are known for this.
All in all, these are fantastic headphones, which unfortunately don't fall for my taste, but I'm a hundred percent sure if you like classical music, acoustic guitars or artists like Pink Floyd. That these headphones might become your best friend!
