Yeah I should have gotten the closed sets, but as loud as this place gets, there are many times which its completely empty. However, fear of closed headphones like the G35's which squeezed my brain matter into the size of a pack of cards was too much for me to ignore. It probably was just as comfortable as the AD700s, but I couldn't risk it at the time.
I'm sporting a cheapy Zalman mic, I do miss the mic ALOT that was on the G35, was very good and easy to use. But once I own this for a bit more, I may do that velcro mic mod that was posted on >>13124793
And uh no...I tried the beats at the local Mac store, didnt suit me. I do wish the cloth was that gooey stuff that was on the Bose headphones. That being said, still would purchase these again, not sure if Id migrate to the A700's.
So much anxiety went into buying these.
