For fun, I am going to use these terms to better state my opinion of the K701 (my favorite headphone out of what I have heard so far).
Traits that I think the K701 has or is good at producing:
airy, bright, dry, edgy, sibilant, thin.
Traits that I think the K701 does not have or STRONGLY lacks or is poor at producing:
attack, bassy, blanketed, bloated, body, boomy, boxy, breathy, chesty, dark, depth, dynamic, euphonic, fat, focus, full, imaging, juicy, musical (or musicality), puffy, punchy, rich, smooth, snap, sturdy, thick, timbre, tinny, transient, tubby, warm, weighty.
