Grant -
Very, very true. Nothing in my experience beats stats. That said, it's a pretty closed ecosystem. Not a lot of amplification choices, and the two primary players are Stax & Koss. Both situations are slowly changing. The equipment does keep its value.
I do want to try the Koss, using an adaptor cable & my SRM-1/Mk2.
I prefer the 507s, although I'd be intererested in listening to the L-700s. The opinion of some on Head-case.org is that the 507s are awful, the worst compared to others in the product line, that even the intro-line 207s are better. I won't engage in defending my personal preference. I respect one specific person's other opinions on that board, and pissing contests are not for me. This is a hobby, not religion, politics, nor soccer.
For me, Bass definition is better in the 507s compared to the 207s. Drums sound more saturated. Presentation may also be a bit quicker. The 507s have a thinner diaphragm, which means less mass to move. Ergonomically, they fit my head more comfortably. The pads are leather, and the cable is detachable. The cable itself & the plug are quite durable.
