## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the sound quality on these compare to the ath-m40x? If you had to choose between the two for piano practice/orchestras, which would you pick**
A: As the m40x is closed, I would imagine your question is about recording and monitoring? A closed monitor headphone would suit that objective very well. If you meant you were planning on enjoying music in a quiet and comfort of a room somewhere the ad700x will definitely open your ears and blow your mind a bit if you've never had an experience with open headphones before. Closed for monitoring or noise area, open for quiet and most enjoyable sound. Closed may have better bass.

**Q: Does the cord have the option of detaching (unplugging) from the headset?**
A: No

**Q: How do these compare to Sennheiser HD 598 headphones?**
A: The sound quality is good for listening to music via computer or iPhone without an amp. In response to how they compare to the Sennheisers I would say both perform well while listening to music via computer or iPhone with or without an amp. Where they differ is comfort. I acquired a headache after wearing the AD 700xs for only 10 minutes. They apply pressure to the temple region of the skull and I did not enjoy that. The Sennheisers on the other hand are by far more comfortable. I now own the Sennheiser HD 598s and the Sennheiser PC 363Ds. I would recommend the Sennheisers over the AD700xs.

**Q: Can you ship to Hong Kong?**
A: Yes. We are pleased to ship it to Hong Kong.
