What We Don't Like
- Expensive
From crispiness of the high notes to the aesthetically appealing and dynamic open-back design, everything about the Sennheiser HD 700 headphones is ‘premium.’ While our experts were testing the headphones, the only issue they could spot is that at times they leak the sound, which can be somewhat distracting.
In the Sennheiser HD 700 review, we’ll discuss the headphones in detail. We’ll list their features, pros and cons, and so on. Let’s jump to the detailed review and see if the headphones can be a good buy.
Sound Quality and Noise Isolation
The Sennheiser HD 700 headphones have a sound quality worth boasting about. Being open-back headphones, you can expect an impressive sound stage. In fact, the sound stage is so good that you tend to forget you’re wearing headphones at all. For all the bass-lovers out there, these headphones are just for you. Both the mid-range performance and treble are good.
Our experts simply admired the crisp detail. Each beat is heard crystal clear, without any distortion. The clarity remains unmatched by other headphones falling under a similar price range. However, the feedback has been received by some users saying that the headphones tend to sound ‘too sharp.’
While the overall frequency response and total harmonic distortion are good, we weren’t as impressed by the noise isolation. Since the Sennheiser HD 700 are open-back headphones, they were not primarily designed to block out ambient noise. Due to the open ear cup design, exterior noise seeps in and at the same time, your music will ‘leak’ out. Hence, these headphones aren’t ones you can wear to public areas, like the library, for example.
Design and Features
Compared to headphones of similar price range and offering resembling features, the ear cups of the Sennheiser HD 700 have a more comfortable and snug fit, and are also slightly smaller in size.
We have noticed that with headphones with smaller ear cup sizes, the level of discomfort is high. Fortunately, that’s not the case with these banger headphones. Thanks to the soft cushioning lining both of the ear cups as well as the headband, the headphones can be worn for extended periods without the user experiencing any discomfort.
While the headphones are quite lightweight, they feel bulky. Unfortunately, unlike many headphones, the Sennheiser HD 700 DJ headphones are not collapsible or foldable.
This means that they aren’t portable and are not travel-friendly. Due to this, users will have to be careful when placing them in bags or carrying cases. Nothing’s worse than investing a good amount of money into headphones only for them to snap into two pieces!
Taking into consideration the budget, we were expecting Bluetooth and microphone connectivity. Unfortunately, the brand has not provided users with either of these features.
