The Sennheiser HD 700 headphones are designed for pure audio reproduction with angled transducers that mimic reference monitor speaker positioning, providing a wide soundstage and fast response. They feature DuoFol diaphragms, a patent-pending ventilated magnet system to minimize turbulence and distortion, and an open-aire housing with steel mesh for airflow management. The vibration-damping frame reduces unwanted resonances, resulting in balanced, natural, and detailed sound. The headphones have thick velour cushions and an adjustable headband for comfort during extended listening sessions. They come with a 10-foot detachable silver-plated oxygen-free copper cable and a gold-plated 1/4" stereo plug, suitable for home or studio use. The HD 700 offers a frequency response of 10-42,000 Hz, sensitivity of 105 dB, impedance of 150 ohms, and weighs approximately 9.6 ounces (270 g). The sound signature is balanced with a deep, clean bass, slightly recessed mids, and clear, detailed treble without harshness. The soundstage is spacious and immersive, making the headphones suitable for critical listening at home. They are not foldable and are intended for stationary use rather than travel. The package includes the headphones, a hinged hard case, and an instruction manual, backed by a 2-year warranty.
