Headphoneus Supremus
I waited few weeks before writing impressions on my new purchase as I wanted to make sure the case were burnt in, and the 'honey-moon' period ended.
First of all, Drew has been really patient with me, replying every single email in few minutes, despite the time zone. I counted more that 30 emails
And I changed my mind a few times before deciding for the AKGs.
Finally I went for a pair of K702s, with detachable dual-entry modification, and Black Dragon cable terminated with 4 Pin connector.
They're visually stunning (though next time I would go for the white and poshy K701s) and they sound great.
They're a really nice match with my Roc amp and the music listen to (mostly acoustic jazz and chamber music): the level of detail is fantastic, with a nice sound stage, and a treble never too hot. I compared them against a a pair of balanced DT880s and I ended up selling the beyers.
I like the wide presentation, with the sound coming from 'outside of my head', really 'polite' and balanced. The bass is great with a punch never heard with the beyers, fast and tight, with clear attack and decay.
The sound of the double bass is really something nice: Ron Carter, Dave Holland, Charlie Haden never sound so real to my ears.
Highly recommended.
