I recently posted this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/640363/a-beginner-question-never-had-amped-headphones-before   However, after doing my research, the K701's and K702's appear to be possibly weaker on the bass than I might want.   Is there a next-best option in that price-range, or...

Hello fellow audiophiles, Recently I have been into music, well I have always loved music and after a year with my Reloop RHP 20's (Great headphones btw, amazing sound for 150$) I have decided to shoot for the stars and pick up a pair of AKG Q701'S. I thought I understood that this kind of...

Hey, Long time lurker, first time poster!  A topic that has been covered hundreds of time, but please bare with me!   I've decided that I want to take the plunge into mid/hifi headphone listening.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser IE6 and Sennheiser HD202, but recently I've been listening...

After having the denon d5000 for nearly 2 years and buying cheaper mid fi (such as the AKG K702) cans along the way I have decided I like the denons sound the best. However it's been quiet a while so an upgrade is in order. I'm currently running the denons through the fiio e7+e9 combo and that's...

Ok, I'm new here so please bear with me.  I know a lot about computers and I'm pretty knowledgeable on home theatre equipment but I'm totally new to the ins and outs of high quality audio.  I currently own a pair of Tritton AX Pros that I use for Xbox and PC, but mostly PC.  My AX Pros just plug...

The title says it all. I recently got a pair of AERIAL7 A-List absolute royale used (paid 100$), but they are selling at 300$ according to multiple retail website.   These cans are fancy, they look good when they are on the table but once you put them on you head you like like an idiot...

Note in what follows I’m not saying judgement is impossible, just that there are so many variables involved it is too easy to come to the wrong conclusion.   These variables are:   ·       The person judging.  No two people (even identical twins) have exactly the same brain and the same...

I currently have Westone 4R and Sennheiser 650's. I am using them with ALO RX Mk3 amp and CLAS.   I really do not like the 650's and want a full size cans that are comfortable, great sound, and no ear splitting treble, and good quality base. (Gee isn't this what everyone wants?) :)   Can...

Guys,   I've been reading headfi for awhile now and decided to take the plunge in building up a quality setup.    What i've got so far    DAC - Schiit Gungnir being run from pc via optical spdif, most tracks are from spotify, hdtracks or existing cd collectoin   Mogami 2549...

Hi everyone,   My ATH A700s recently broke (although they lasted 6+ years). They've served me well but I'm looking to buy new headphones -- although I don't mind purchasing the same ones again, haha.   So I was looking at the following:   ATH A700 (again) or   AKG K702 Sennheiser HD...

My AKG K702 just went south for reason which I can't figure out.  Generally, I use the headphone for my gaming and music sessions. Which headphone should I get for my requirement?   I've with me a first generation Audio-gd Compass which my AKG is connected. What I look for is a headphone with...

Hey guys,    I'm looking for some headphone advice.  Ive been up and down the Grado line up to the 325, Beyer DT 770, ATH M50, AKG702, not really sure where to go now.  I'm looking for a V shaped fun signature, but I'd like closed if possible.  I mostly listen to rock, heavy metal, punk,etc ...

Hey guys I was wondering if there are any decent headphones that I can wear while wearing glasses?  These over ear headphones seem like they might not work.  My brother has some kind of over ear AKG's that were 150 or so but they don't work with glasses. I am looking for headphones for general...

Hi Head-Fiers !   I've been told that this combo is amazing for the Seenheiser HD 650. The thing is that I also have a pair of AKG K702. Would they work nicely with this amp too ?   What about the characteristics of the amp ? I mean, if it's a DIY amp, since we're not all THAT experimented...

Hei   New here :)   Have a bada ph-12 that plays really nice with my AKG k-702 , warm detailed sound, like it a lot.   But it gets so warm... is that a problem? i mean how many hours can one listen before it gets dangerously warm?   Also first time i turned it on, got warm and smells a...

Hi all,   I thought I would share my first impressions and experience with this headphone. :) I will only concentrate on the sound part, since everyone knows how well built and comfortable they are (or can be... for me they are really comfortable).   First off, let me tell you that if you're...

Hei, I am planning on buying a headphone in the next couple of days and is wondering whether to buy the Philips Fidelio X1 or not. It is gonna be used primarily for gaming and I'm worried it will not provide any good "surround quality" aka being able to her where footsteps/explosions originates...

So, I was looking to get some new headphones. IEM's hit the marks when it comes to portability and being able to listen to in public/working out, but can they match/near match the performance of my AKG k702 annies? I even considered the HE-500's. I prefer a neutral headphone that has great bass...

So these puppies are on sale for $150. I recently picked up an interface (Focusrite 2i4) and wanted a pair on phones to mix commentary vocals with along with my studio monitors (Mackie MR5MK3). I also wanted to use these phone for movies and music listening. I have the Sound Blaster Z as a...

Hello,   I am interested in purchasing a pair of AKG 702. But    1. Do these need an amp if so which one to get the best out of it. Price range £100 2. Will they work okay with an iPhone 5s?   Also if anyone could recommend any others if the price range of £150 or $200

I plan on getting a pair of these cans in the next couple of months. I know that they need an amp/DAC to perform well, and I just wanted to see my option. My first choice would be a Schiit Modi/Magni combo, but honestly that costs more than I would like. Would it even be worth it to just buy a...

Hi all,   Finally ponied up and bought a high end headphone in the AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition. From the moment I first listened to them, I was amazed at the sound stage and clarity of mids and highs, however, on some of my songs I noticed a "scratching" sound when there wasn't much...

I am specifically looking for another pair of headphones. I've heard the hd800's are comparable with these ones so I was considering that but for audio production I find the open backs are much suitable for non-coloration. Perhaps any of you might have similar experience of switching from...
