“The SR7000 isn’t a headphone that immediately wows you—it prioritises balance and neutrality, offering what some might call a “plain water” sound. Whether that’s a strength or a weakness depends on your preferences and use case, but I find it commendable that the SR7000 achieves such an open and natural presentation for a closed-back headphone.”
“I have tested many closed-back headphones of the same category, like the Sennheiser HD620S, the Focal Azuris and the Neumann NDH 20 among others, and none of them can really match the tonal balance and the overall sound quality of the Aune SR7000.”
“So is the SR7000 really all I need from a sealed dynamic headphone? You bet; with my 3m custom Forza Audioworks Noir leash and ‘lesser’ electronics as shown, I could easily call it a day despite knowing that there’s a tier beyond for which I own three different thin-film options if those are allowed to cost ten times more. That’s how balanced and comfortable these are; and how generously they scale up with elite electronics. The very happy end!”
