I was comparing the frequency response curves of the K701 and K702 on headphone.com, and couldn't help but noticing that the K702 apparently has a good +5dB over most of the low-bass range compared to the K701...?   If any of you have compared them, did you experience the K702 as having...

Hello, sorry for my english . I have hd 650 and k701 with creek obh21. hd 650 sounds great but k701 with 80 hours it sounds acute something sharpened and little bass. Somebody that has proven headfive with 701 can say if it sounds well? thanks

Which of those has the best sound quality? Do they worth their price? This is probably going to be my first real good quality headphone.. I'm planning to spend around 300 dollars, I listen to all kinds of music, and I'm pretty concerned about look too. Are there any suggestions? THANKS!!

I was thinking of getting the K702 because you can replace the cable and I like the color better, but how does the sound stage differ between the two?

Hi guys, I am now tube amp-less and thus am planning for my next move (i.e. should I buy back same model or...?)   I noticed that the market has amps that need only one tube (e.g. 12AU7) and amps that need more than one tube.   Is there any difference between them and what should I (not)...

Any thoughts or experiences with the Ety HF5/3/2 that indicate they can compete with good "analytic" cans like the AKG K701s?

Hi guys,   This is my first post, although I have been lurking around these forums for a while now. I purchased a pair of AKG k701s recently out of impulse, and they are my first pair of high end headphones. And to my demise, they sounded the same as my cheap sennheiser HD201's. But they...

Hello guys, My name is Ryan and I have been trying to look for a new pair gaming headphones or headsets for some time now.

New here! And been lurking for quite a while...   Looking for an upgrade from my headset and wanting better sound for my music and stuff. Currently, I narrowed it down to the AKG K550 and K701/702. I mainly listen to Anime, JPop, OSTs (sound tracks), and sometimes electronic. Alot of the...

I was using the SR-60 w/flats along with my mach speed tablet and thought it sounded pretty good overall and didn't leak enough sound to bother people on the plane. After 6 years, the cable tore so I needed something else for my last impromptu trip. I tried Sennheiser 558, 518, 598, PX 100, 201...

In July 2012 I contacted AKG / Harmon regarding replacement ear pads for my K701 and was told they were unavailable at that time.   In May 2013 I again requested these ear pads and was told they were still unavailable but that I would be contacted when they became available.   It is now Oct...

Hey im rocking a standard mobo sound on my sabertooth x79 and i wanted to know if u can damage it with too high volume. im using a 2.0 speaker setup with subwoofer. also can the subwoofer´s volume also damages the sound card?

The major criticism for AKG K70X is they are too analytical and less engaging... I have read that Q701s are 'bit' warmer. Could anyone tell whats their opinion about Q701 on being 'musical enough', fuller sounding etc

Hi All,   I am a little confused about connections & whether my Beresford DAC is good enough to use as a headphone amp?   Currenty my set-up consists on Airport Express connected to the Beresford Bushmaster via optical and then the BM connected to my Naim amp (and speakers) via RCA out on...

What about the Sound field and the bass? I know K701 is hard to drive.

Hey all! I'm Dreeb. I've been to this forum several times, just for researching purposes. Up until more recently, I've usually just googled things and one of the first options would be a thread on here. Now I peruse the forums constantly for information.   I'm a newbie to the audiophile world...

I both love and dislike my K701 at the same time.. When it comes to details, clarity and soundstage they are truly amazing, but at the same time I experience the sound to be a bit cold and emotionless.   I've been using them for about 150-200h now, but the more I listen to them the more I...

I have owned a pair of HD595's along with various other high end open circumaural headphones for the last year or two and up until today I never was able to get anything close to high end sound from the 595's. Then I tried fiddling around with the headband adjustment, extending the headband...

After a bit of back and forth between many highly regarded open 'phones such as the DT880s, the 701s and the HD650s I suddenly realized that I'd do much better with a closed headphone to attenuate some of the racket in my listening environment. This racket includes, a window A/C unit, a ghetto...
