Q701 impressions thread
I've read that a lot, and I think I said it the past. I lived for a while with a modded and an unmodded version and ended up modding both. It improves slightly the bass (subbass is not that much modified) and it's nothing crazy (HD700 still delivers waaaaay more bass and specially subbass). I...- Ashade

Q701 impressions thread
I use O2+ODAC with modded Q's. I can only say I like it a lot. I got rid of all my other amps (I even use it as my "portable"solution). It's bright a bright combo If you compare it for example with HD700. Still, it doesn't bother me, but I have to say I like sharp and fast sounds so... To each...- Ashade

Sony MDR-1RBT mods, equalization, impressions and so on.
I don´t think is a biggie to replace the battery if needed, but I think I´ve charged mine like 5 times since I have them. The battery last for ever. On the pads topic, I would give a second change to the beyer pads. If you look at my pictures, they lip just penetrates into the case in just...- Ashade

The day I tried them I said: This is the ultimate thing! I know I will eventually end up with those headphones. Quote: I found the HD700 and HD800 waaaay more comfortable, but they are at another completely different price tag sooooo... Quote: I honestly didn't find the...- Ashade

Maybe there's other pads that fit better the NC version but I don't know. I've never even seen those headphones before.- Ashade

Hahaha. Sounds good. There's nothing like tuning in order to achieve what we want. What matters is if you are happy with your headphones, if you like the AD's better, return the Q's- Ashade

Q701 impressions thread
Pretty much the same stuff. Much nicer looking etc... I find them over priced. Don't get me wrong... having the Q's at its price I mean. Maybe you should try going higher 500-1000-ish... the Q's are the BEST bang for the buck, reason for the rating, and super sexy... (the k712 is sexier though)- Ashade

Just kidding. Give them a second try. Maybe it's the DAC, or no, or you just prefer the other ones. For tastes, the colors. XD PD: the gif it's awesome. EDIT: HD800. Period. Pffff... Can't wait to stop wasting money in stupid things like quadcopters, 3d printing, tuitions and cars (used...- Ashade

I'm pretty sure they are the Beyer. They don't convert the ring tab completely, but they've never feel out in my case. Are you having problems? These are the ones I bought, for sure: http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-Velour-Earcushions-MDR7506-Headphones/dp/B0016MF7W2 Although they don't...- Ashade

If the NC is somehow similar to the the BT, the pads "tab ring" should insert in another ring form that the headphone has in the cups. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow to show you, but I have the Shure pads mounted on the BT and even considering the fit is tighter that with the original pads...- Ashade

I don't use any case... sorryp. It will fit the slappa one for sure, but it's kind of big. The pouch they come with does the work for me. :D- Ashade

Specify! Other people might wanna try it! :D I keep enjoying the Q's. They don't stop surprising me, although lately I eq' them even after the mod, in the search for a little bit of extra subbass. Cut them off!! You can get the Q's for around 100 bucks right now, man! (Used, of...- Ashade

Can't you just do that with a cable? Either way, you can find that in the ODAC+O2 combo. Some people just entered the wagon! Life is a cycle man! :D- Ashade

That's how I did it. I think you should be able to find some pictures in my profile. I don't have many though. Let me search for the thread that tells you how to do it. EDIT: More pictures in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/660408/reversible-akg-k701-bass-mod- Ashade
