AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition - Page 91

I don't really care about the K-1000, because is not such a great hps compare to the 702's. The four AKG flagship hps can easy compete and even win over the T1, and the HD-800 in most of the categories.

If AKG will come out with a new driver which increase the resolution, this will be simple the BEST dynamic hps out there!!

Well, now that we know the drivers are the same, I guess I should point out something I noticed, but to be taken with as little attention as possible.

I noticed that the K702 65th foam insert between the driver and the mesh was firmer, and looked more dense, than the one on the K701.

However, this could just be from being new and unused, and I have no Idea how to check the density of foam...

It's just maybe AKG heard about the "foam-rolling" mod people had done to their AKG's, and decided to play around with it.

There is one on sale right now:-)

If you get bored one day you can take a picture of the foam for us.

I can compare it with my Q701s foam.

K601 and Q701 have different foams.Well different part numbers at least.

The Q701 does sound about 1% clearer with no foam, but I won't bother with that nonsense. I did once and I must have been extremely bored.

I believe K701 and K601 use the same foams. I'll have to double check. K702 and Q701 foams look different.

Here's some photos for references:

Q701 foam is rougher feeling and sparkly.

You'd think that AKG would not be crazy enough to make multiple variations of foams, but they do have different part numbers,.

I spent big money this weekend after being a lurker for over a month on this forum doing research about gears.  I am moving from speakers to headphones because of my current living situation and room size.  Stuff I paid for this weekend:

1.  Oppo BDP-105

2.  AKG 702

3.  Schiit MJOLNIR

4.  Cheap balanced XLR cables to connect oppo to schiit

5.  Some cheap dvi to hdmi to connect my dell monitor to oppo

6.  Some cheap toslink to connect from computer sound card to oppo (might not need it because oppo is going to be a media server)

I decided to go with the cheapest hi-fi headphone that I can get my hands on first and will probably grab something else better after I got my feet wet in the head-fi world.
