Sound quality
I was expecting a lot from these, as they were my first philips cans. At first they didn't sound right (They probably need some sort of break-in period) but after a day or two of EQ tweaks and bass heavy house the SHP2700's bass is tighter and has considerably more impact.
These are excellent cans if you can Work the EQ settings well ! They offers more clarity, listening to bass heavy music with vocals (Mos) is enjoyable and distortion free even at higher volumes.
A huge improvement over my crappy xd-100 which had weak constricted bass at higher volumes.I've spent some time with my brother's shp-805's , and noticed that these have better lower frequency reproduction than the 805's
Comfort:
They've got good soft cushioning , Outside sound isolation is fair. Nothing new here,The fit and feel is similar to the 805's.
Testing:
I tested these headphones with varying genres of music (320kbps) :
Santana ft Chad Kroeger - into the night
Sorry blame it on me - Akon
The way i are - Timbaland
Pink floyd the psychedelic years- Incredible bbc sessions
In search of sunrise ibiza mixes - Dj tiesto
Eric prydz dirty disco
The asot's never sounded better
hyeah: !!!
I'm not an Audiophile or even close to it, but do have musically trained ears.
Gripes-
Didn't like the ear cushioning material of the used ,Faux leather would have been better.
The long cord should have been thinner and lightweight.
Only one colour
Chrome plated connector instead of gold.

Thanks for reading y'all . It would be great if one of the Te audiophiles reviewed these and arrive at a verdict for the best cans in the budget category.
