            While they share some of the same sonic DNA, their sound signatures are actually markedly different. And – we'd bet – a significant number of people will prefer the cheaper HD 700. Their sound is thicker and warmer, making it easier-going than the analytical, challenging personality of the Sennheiser HD 800.Mar 13, 2012
