Sony MDR-ZX700 Review

 

The Sony ZX700 headphones seem like they're meant to appeal to audiophiles and studio pros, but with such a short cord, sterile sound and no ¼-inch adapter included, we doubt they will end up being the top choice of either.

Excellent Vintage Sound

 

As others have described, the sound quality is very pleasant and reproduction true to a vintage sound. Very comfortable. Note the cord length and connector type. You probably need an extension and an adapter if you are using 1/4" plugs like in most...
