The Sennheiser HD700 remains a standout open-back for its laser-focused midrange and airy treble, bridging the gap between the HD650 and HD800. At A$600, this asking price is ambitious compared to the typical used market, where most pairs trade between A$300 and A$450. While the original retail was around A$1,300, current resale data consistently places the median well under A$500, making this listing roughly 30–40% above the norm for excellent condition units.
That said, the HD700 is worth pursuing if you prioritize its signature open, natural sound and precise imaging, which still hold up against modern rivals. Its lightweight build and open-back design make it ideal for long critical listening sessions in quiet spaces. If this pair is truly from an original owner with no wear, includes the original cable and box, and has been stored carefully, the premium might be justified for a pristine example. Otherwise, it’s a fair but not urgent buy given the pricing.

Founded in June 1945 by Dr. Fritz Sennheiser in a farmhouse near Hanover, Germany, Sennheiser began as Laboratorium Wennebostel, producing voltmeters and early microphones amid post-World War II reconstruction. Seven engineers from the University of Hannover joined the founder, quickly pivoting to broadcast microphones like the DM 2 in 1946 and the groundbreaking MD 82 shotgun mic in 1956. Renamed Sennheiser electronic in 1958, the family-owned company passed to second- and third-generation leadership, maintaining its innovative spirit over eight decades.
Sennheiser excels in professional and consumer audio, renowned for microphones, wireless systems, and headphones that set industry standards. Pioneers of the first open-back headphones (HD 414 in 1968) and enduring studio icons like the MD 421 and MD 441, they also produce high-end headphones, earbuds, soundbars, and conferencing solutions. While strong in pro audio like mixers and geophysical gear, their consumer focus centers on headphones and wireless tech rather than amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables.
Sennheiser commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending mid-tier accessibility with high-end excellence for discerning buyers and professionals. Trusted for reliability and sonic precision, it appeals to audiophiles seeking reference-grade headphones without boutique obscurity, backed by a heritage of technological firsts that sustains its global leadership.
