Oh good I hope that not truly the case. I don't like really dark ones, but really bright ones may be worse for me....

 


One day I shall get both for comparison, but I really do hope I prefer K701 over the others, its signature just sounded so much like the promised land for my ears. 

 

Hmm, looking at the graphs the Dt's seem to have better bass for sure, as for certain mids, the K701/702 seem to have better response, and overall a more neutral tone (unless I'm interpreting the graphs wrongly).

 

graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=703&graphID[]=2621&graphID[]=2751&graphID[]=963

 

 


For graph i don't have the pretention to interpret them correctly :p , i can't really say if one is more neutral or not looking at this  , but you really should Try a DT-880 in your setup ^^

 



They are not soo different sounding , the first seconds i put my DT-880 Pro on my head i though hu , my K702 with a smaller soudstage confused_face_2.gif ,  it's not the same headphone ,  yes they have slighty more bass impact , medium are a bit less forward  but highs a bit more prononced  . It's less airy souding more grounded and with more body . But it's Brighter  to me , you wouldn't say that your K701 is brighter than your DT-990 right ? tongue.gif.

 

 

 


lol the dt 990s are brighter, but even then i never find them bright

 

my WA6SE's tubes seem to smoothen up the highs on all my headphones. but yeah thanks for the dt 880 comparison, its pretty much what i figured them to sound like.

There isn't a big difference between DT 880 Pro and Premium is there? It seems like the Pro is more analytical.

I only heard DT-880 Premium in a store (conditions were not realy good) . (compared it to K701/HD650) , at that time i slightly prefered the K701 .

 

The DT-880 Pro for me is a great head phone , in pare with my K702 .I should try to grab some premium edition , but i don't feel the need right now . Later , peraphs ...
