Living up to the brand name, the 700s have an engineered feel and that machined-aluminium appeal. They're feather-light at llg, comfortable and easy to attach to your ears. and their 15.4mm drivers promise superior performance. With the foam bud covers in place they provide a thrilling balance of detail, dynamics and bass attack (but without them they're shrill). There's a hint of top-end harshness and they can be heavy-handed. but if you want fun, the 700s won't disappoint.
