I am looking for a pair of headphones only to listen to classical music, I don´t want to spend more than 70$. Do you recommend this pair for that?

Are you listening to digital or analog recording? I have only listened to digital music with these, and they have had good response. Not having ever used say a $300 pair of headphones; I don't know how they would compare. They do beat the small earbuds by far; and are not too bad to sit for extended times on the head. You will have to sit up though, these are not that comfortable reclined or lying down.

the akg k77 is the best for classical music. you will enjoy hearing the different instruments. other headphones often muddle the instruments. with the akg k77 you will have true replication of the music. very very good at its price point

Sure. If you listen to a lot of organ music with low fundamental tones (<40 Hz) or really crave the low-frequency thud of a large bass drum (think Darth Vader's theme during the intro) you might want something with a little more bass extension. These sound natural and fairly uncolored, a good choice for most music.

I have listened through them with my 2013 11" macbook air, and it pushes enough volume through them to enjoy them, but you are missing a lot of what they can offer with an amp. I would very very strongly recommend the Schiit vali, at $119, it sounds wonderful and is considered by many to be one of the best pairings for theese headphones.Now with my iPhone 5s, I have to put it to maximum volume to get close to a satisfying volume, so when you get to a song recorded a bit quieter than average, you are left wanting for a bit more power.These cans are worth every last penny and I hope you do decide to jump into audio nirvana with them :) I have listened through them with my 2013 11" macbook air, and it pushes enough volume through them to enjoy them, but you are missing a lot of what they can offer with an amp.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

I bought these as an all-purpose set of headphones, but I use them 80% for gaming and 20% for music/TV/etc. I mostly play multiplayer, also. In my opinion, they sound stunning in games. I can hear sounds in these that I can't with other headphones (mostly ones that cost less than $100).In AC4 multiplayer for example, there are sounds that give you indications about your pursuers and targets that are clearer with these than others.Surround would be nice but I'd have to pay a lot more to get it. As far as the mic goes, for $10 you can buy a cheap headphone/mic adapter and a mic to go with these (can also spend more on better quality ones, though). Anyway, hope this helps.

It's almost like asking "are these the best shoes you can buy"? The answer depends on you and your intended purpose. Most headphones at this price point (and higher) are going to sound pretty good.

wire is even. is that your preference? I am not sure if i mentioned it in my review but i own a $100 pair of bose headphones (not that great) and a $300 pair of shure (awesome but delicate)these $6 headphones are one of the best deals i have ever gotten.

Hi, I would not use this for "quality" listening, but I use it for exercising and it's great for that. I can hear the music clearly, but if you're looking into listening to every nuance of the music (such as that you want in classical music), I wouldn't purchase this for that.

Hi, before answer your question I prepared my system and now running it (this time change the usual Emotiva DAC and the Magni amplifier for an Audio GD, very good sound too, by the way) and the sound is clear, defined and extremely well balanced as always with the T70p, really one of my reference headphones. I tried three Hotel songs, just to enjoy the test, the Eagles, Chris Isaak a Katie Melua, all sound outstanding. Beyer have very good warranty and support, must be a fault unit, rare, but happens. Happy Holidays. Leo

I don't use them to watch movies in computer. I only watch movies in cinema. I think their sound won't be bad. howerver, in my opinion, selecting an slightly lighter headphone is better.

The headphones are good. I heard good things about them, but they kind of didn't meet my expectations. The bass could be better and I think it would be hard to sleep with them in, mine keeps slipping out when I'm just walking around. You might have better bass if you went for the over the ear headphones. Hope this helps!

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.

Yess!! I use them for what they are made that is djing and the insulation is crazy i can hear nothing from the exterior world. I also have some Shure headphones, I have tested V moda, other sennheisers, allen and heath, pioneers and this have the best low end, also mids and highs are really clear, so if you are looking them form gaming I think they can make a really good job, but the thing is that this headphone are design for DJs, crazy insulation (I can bet that are the Dj headphones with best insulation in the market right now) and great low end I can't ask for more. And one more thing they are the most comfortable headphones I had ever own, This were very well think, cheers for Sennheiser!!

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps.

For crisp and clear mid-range and highs they're great. Classical, Country and some forms of Jazz they would perform very well. If you're looking for some equally good low end in your listening experience, a subwoofer is needed. There are some larger floor standing speakers with a greater range of low to high on the market, but they to require more floor space.

You should defenitly purchase V-moda Lp2It's one of the best headphones you could ever see, the sounds is amazing. I listen to fast and house music and this headphone works great with this type of music, also it works with other type of musics as well. I would defenitely recommend buying V-moda

I have not personally listened to this pairing, but i'll comment on how the vali did with my he-400 and dt770, which i feel are both a tad bright at times. the vali did indeed tame the highs every so slightly, which is perfect, as I found both headphones only every so slightly bright at times. the warmer sound signature of the vali mellowed the highs, smoothing them out and taking that random harshness from them. i think you'd be very happy with the vali and the 701s. you can also email schiit directly, they're incredibly responsive and honest. for example, when i wanted to try tube amps, i emailed them and told them which headphones i have, my dac (modi), and what i was looking for in sound. i asked them if the best starting point was the Valhalla or lyr, assuming the vali wasn't going to be able to drive my he-400 and 250ohm dt770. nick from schiit replied within 30 minutes saying get the vali, even after i had opened the door for him to suggest the higher end (more expensive) amps. that's one of the reason's I'm so supportive of schiit, they seem to honestly care. ok shameless schiit plug over now...

Great for classical music! Not sure I'd want to work up a sweat in them (or any other type of over-the-ear headphone).
