Audio-Technica Air Dynamic Series Open-Air Headphones ATH-AD500X

Q: How does the sound quality on these compare to the ath-m40x? If you had to choose between the two for piano practice/orchestras, which would you pick

As the m40x is closed, I would imagine your question is about recording and monitoring? A closed monitor headphone would suit that objective very well. If you meant you were planning on enjoying music in a quiet and comfort of a room somewhere the ad700x will definitely open your ears and blow your mind a bit if you've never had an experience with open headphones before. Closed for monitoring or noise area, open for quiet and most enjoyable sound. Closed may have better bass.

Q: How do these compare to Sennheiser HD 598 headphones?

The sound quality is good for listening to music via computer or iPhone without an amp. In response to how they compare to the Sennheisers I would say both perform well while listening to music via computer or iPhone with or without an amp. Where they differ is comfort. I acquired a headache after wearing the AD 700xs for only 10 minutes. They apply pressure to the temple region of the skull and I did not enjoy that. The Sennheisers on the other hand are by far more comfortable. I now own the Sennheiser HD 598s and the Sennheiser PC 363Ds. I would recommend the Sennheisers over the AD700xs.

Q: Can you ship to Hong Kong?

Yes. We are pleased to ship it to Hong Kong.
