The mids here are the only saving grace

Incredible boomy bass, smooth mids, and nice but not pitchy highs

a while back due to a stellar experience with the AD700 sound quality (previous model).As expected, the AD700X had the same wide soundstage, brilliant mids and highs

But, if you do need bass with great mids and highs, I would suggest you spend your cash on other headphones.

It feels open, and freeThe noise leakage isn't as bad as I thoughtThe comfort is outstanding

To correct I have one of my wife's hair elastics that I put around both pads problem solved

Just one has to be careful when takin' off the headphones as the 3-D adjustable pads can easily come off
