I have used these for late night TV/movies when my wife and son have gone to bed and I don't want to wake anyone but have the volume where I want it. I have used these for music (mostly Spotify) and also for gaming, but no FPS. They are just great for me. I often find myself reaching for these over my 400i, even though I do find the 400i is better in every way in SQ, but less so in comfort. I do find the 400i very comfortable, but these are just that much more comfortable and light - and don't require an amp which the 400i do in order to get them to their potential. If I do not amp the 400i, they are still better than the 500x, but only marginally so. What may be a fit for me (sound and actual fitment) may work for you or it may not, but I would say these are definitely worth a try, especially considering the cost, they might just surprise you. And again, I find the bass very pleasing and adequate in these, much more so than the 900x (and I assume the 700x). These have the bass you want the HD598 and 900x to have. Oh yeah, the cord, the only fault I have found with them, but not worth taking a star off. I deal with it.
ATH-M50x, but after perusing lots of extensive reviews on them I decided against them. The most important factor to me is comfort, and from what I had been reading about those, they weren't necessarily bad headphones, they just weren't very good ~$200 headphones. And apparently, they take "some getting used to" in terms of comfort. I was turned off by both of these sentiments and decided to look for something else. I figured open-back may be the way to go, and eventually settled on a pair of the ATH-AD700X's.
In my opinion, the best things about these headphones are, ironically, things a lot of people have outlined in their own reviews here as being negatives.
Let's start with the mechanism these use to stay on your head.
You have likely seen many reviews here saying the mechanism these headphones use is "too loose". In my opinion, they are not too loose at all. They grip your head with a very light, feathery touch. At first it may feel like they could slip off if you just tilt your head the wrong way, but they will not. Unless you're thrashing your head to some VERY SERIOUS metal there is no way these are going to fall off, whether you're laying down in bed or sitting in a chair. Also, I have always had difficulty laying down in bed and using big headphones. More often than not, the cans just get shoved into strange, awkward positions, or the whole thing is really just gripping my head way too tight and it gets VERY uncomfortable VERY quickly. That is not the case with these headphones. They are extremely comfortable to wear in bed, and they sound great too.
Next, let's go to the cable.
I've seen SO MANY reviews saying they hate the cable for being "too long", and they hate how the cable "coils up." In my opinion, these are actually things worthy of praise. I would rather have a pair of headphones with a cable that is too long than a pair with a cable that is one inch too short. NOTHING is more frustrating than that. As for the cable "coiling up", when in use this is never a problem. The cable is so long that any coiling is going to occur pretty far away from your body. And the cable "coiling up" sounds like a bad thing at first, until you see HOW it is coiling up. This cable has a tendency to coil up into the shape it was originally packaged in. So if you put the headphones away somewhere, you can rest assured knowing the cable will VERY EASILY arrange itself back into a very space efficient form factor. This is a pro to me, because I do not have a dedicated microphone. So I will often switch between headphones when using my computer. Additionally, you will know the cable is also SAFE in these conditions. I have broken many headphones over the years because I have poorly maintained the cable. This cable going into the exact arrangement I need when I wish to store it somewhere, with very little effort on my part, is a godsend and I am totally cool with that.
Now that these two are out of the way, let's move into some more pros. The sound is great. I'm not an audiophile, so I have no opinion on how "chocolatey" the mids are or how "minty" the treble is, or whatever buzzwords those people like to use to describe their sound equipment. But what I can tell you is, the sound is very clear and crisp and you will no doubt pick up on details in music that you never heard before, especially if you've spent your whole life using substandard, cheap headphones or "gaming" headsets. I play a digital piano through my DAW software, and immediately I could tell a massive difference in not just the overall quality, but also the clarity in the finer details of the various piano libraries I had been using for months --- details I previously did not even know were there. And this is straight, out of box performance. No EQ, not even hooked into an audio interface. Just plugging right into a line output on my computer case.
So, how about audio clarity in a noisy environment?
In my opinion, ambient background noises are only SLIGHTLY easier to hear through these, than my usual pair of closed-back headphones. I have a fan in my room that I run pretty much all the time on the lowest setting. Even with my usual pair of closed-back headphones, I can hear the fan. The only time I can't is if I barrage my ears with a constant stream of very loud noises. The same exact case applies with these headphones. If the sound is loud enough you will be completely tuned out to any external noises. I don't even need them that loud to reach a point that they overpower the sound of my whirring fan.
Are there any cons I can think of? Not really. I guess they aren't quite as bassy as my usual headphones could get, but I prefer that. Sometimes stuff would just sound so...mixed up and muddied on my other headphones, and that was all due to their closed design. I'm sure someone with vastly superior background in audio equipment can find something to dislike about these headphones, but I'm a simple man. As that kind of person, I really can not find anything to dislike about these headphones. So far they have been a blast and I am loving them. If you are a relatively simple person too, and you just want to get something better than whatever dollar store headphones you've been using for years, these will definitely be good value to you. I will not be giving any rating towards "Noise Cancellation", because these are not noise cancelling headphones. Why that is even something I can rate on these doesn't really make any sense to me.

Reviewed in Brazil on August 14, 2023
El sonido es asombrosamente plano. Quizás un poco recargado en los agudos pero nada que no extrañe.
Los he usado para editar y van muy bien. El resultado es muy lineal, que es lo que esperaba.
Los he usado para jugar y no siento que haya una ventaja táctica como se dice de los audífonos abiertos; más bien son muy cómodos y puedes tenerlos puestos mucho tiempo sin sacrificar detalle en el juego; se te llega a olvidar que los traes puestos.
Eso sí, cuando juegas online partidas con otras personas, las calidades de sus micrófonos te hacen pensar si realmente valió la pena, jejeje...
Los he usado para grabar y son pésimos. Monitorear con ellos es espantoso porque te pierdes de los detalles finos pero no son para monitorizar ni para grabar.
En general el sonido es de primera. Extraño mucho esos ohms extras de impedancia de los Beyerdynamics; pero no demasiado. El balance de los tonos compensa mucho la ecuación.
Recomendados.
