With the ATH-AD700X they can tell an enemy's direction but not location; the wide soundstage is almost overwhelming.

Owns the ATH-AD700X and AD900X and finds both very bass-light, with a sound signature unlike their other headphones.
Bought the ATH-AD700X for gaming for its wide soundstage and detailed treble, with recessed bass.
Broke their ATH-AD700X; great wide soundstage, but imaging was not on point.
Used to own the ATH-AD700X, with lean bass but a very clean midrange.
Found the ATH-AD700X much clearer than their HyperX Cloud 2, but the bass was too weak even for bass-heavy music, so they returned it.
Bought both the ATH-AD700X and an R70 to compare and found the AD700X better for gaming out of the box thanks to its lower bass and brighter highs.
Loves the ATH-AD700X for positional audio in games like PUBG; their only complaint is the cable.
The ATH-AD700X is as comfortable as their old AD500X, but sounded dreadful out of the box with no bass and piercing highs; EQ only got it to OK.
Paid about $80 for their ATH-AD700X; okay for the price, but it sits loosely rather than clamping.
Really liked their ATH-AD700X over about nine years until it finally died.
Was very fond of the ATH-AD700X: comfortable for hours at work or gaming, long cable, very clean and neutral sound.
Daily-drove the ATH-AD700X for most of a decade, but it is now dying because of the permanently attached cable.

Their ATH-AD700X sounded only moderately clearer than gaming headsets, with confined, inaccurate soundstage and imaging.
Their first audiophile headphone; the ATH-AD700X sounds great, though the 10 ft cord is too long.
Replaced broken gaming headsets with the ATH-AD700X and found it a big upgrade.
Owns the ATH-AD700X and K7XX; the AKG sounds crisper and cleaner, but the AD700X images slightly more accurately for FPS games.
Their ATH-AD700X is great for FPS but has no bass at all, so they switch to an HD 599 for music.
Bought the ATH-AD700X on the FPS hype and was disappointed; the soundstage is not nearly as big as claimed.
Uses the ATH-AD700X for gaming, music and movies but finds it lacks bass.
Finds the ATH-AD700X better than the AKG K701 they tried: better imaging, wider soundstage, more clarity and separation.

Their new ATH-AD700X hurts the tops of their ears after a couple of hours.
