So, I am not the most technical listener, I don't produce music professionally. Here are my thoughts, the built quality of the headphones is pretty good, kinda of bulky but solid. More importantly the headphones uses standard sizes and shapes for its earpads and screws. I have replaced the headband screws with off the shelf stuff from the hardware store.
In terms of the sound quality, the sound stage is seems large. The earpads are a large circle and may have some influence. The only reason I don't rate the sound quality higher is that getting a good fit and seal are kinda hard. The handband is kinda large and for smaller heads you have to bend the metal headband into shape to get a good seal, once that headband breaks in the headphones sound great.
Comfort wise, pretty nice to wear for longish listening sessions.
Good value at its normal MSRP, great value when it goes on sale for less than 100 USD.

Got As A Free Coupon For 12 Days Of Christmas
Got this at a ridiculous deal from the 12 Days of Christmas coupon giveaway which resulted in me just having to pay the shipping for this item. As someone who has only used open-back headphones, I'm a fan of these closed-back ones when I need to use a pair of headphones that don't let in too much ambient sound. The clamp strength isn't bad at all as well, which is great for someone that wears glasses and has a big head. Great set, especially for the cost of shipping only!

Great deal awesome sound
When first listening to the HE-R7DX, I wasn't impressed by its sound but after several hours of using them they really opened up. Very balanced tuning and comfortable with no clamping issues. What a steal for $80.
No matter how much EQ, no matter how many tuning adjustments I made, and no matter how much I've tried, these just aren't good. They sound worse than most other closed backs at the price. If you can go open back, get Thieaudio Ghost. If you need closed, AT M40x.
