Our Verdict

Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X 2013

Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee

The Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee are better headphones than the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X 2013 if you prefer a neutral sound profile. The Sennheiser have an impressively well-balanced sound signature that's not too sharp or piercing. The Audio-Technica, unfortunately, don't have a very accurate treble response, so sibilants sound sharp and piercing, but instruments and vocals lack detail and brightness. They also feel cheaply made, although they're more comfortable than the Sennheiser.
