But, whenever...

... the bass frequencies (or any single ASPECT of any kind, for that matter) seem to be ***the strong point*** of a pair of headphones, that is when I know that something fundamentally important is missing. Or, at the very least, such is an indication that the dramatic roles a given pair of headphones might play are limited ones.

I feel that almost every pair of headphones is going to have it's strengths as well as it's shortcomings. But one of the things I like most about the 701 is that it is one of the most coherent sounding headphones. In this case, "coherency" implies that select frequency range(s) rarely seem to overpower other parts of the frequency range.

When the frequency arc is ***subjectively smooth*** (regardless of the actual measurements) the gateway to Audio Nirvana no longer seems to be fronted by the Hounds of Hell. This is very comforting feeling to have.
