I don't know if it's just my ears but pretty much every headphone that gets plugged into my brother's computer becomes quieter on the left side permanently. He has 3 headphones and I've plugged all of them into different devices and they're all quieter on the left side.   So I tried one of my...

Hmm I might actually get these. I'm really looking for a lot of detail. How's the soundstage for the ESW9? I love how with the Q701s I can hear all the instruments seperately and clearly. There's no collision.   Do you enjoy listening to music more with the ESW9 vs Q701?

Hey guys my Q701s finally died on me. The right ear just went out one day. I'm planning on buying new headphones, and I've been through 2 so far.   The "Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, 250 ohms" and the "Audio-Technica ATH-A900X." The DT 770 weren't good. They sounded so colored. The mids were...

  When you say extension cable do you mean the cable that connects  your headphones with the amp? Is it possible that my Q701s are doing the same?

I don't know if it's the Modi or Magni but during bassy song, there's crackling and static noise. Also, I can hear some noise when I turn the knob all the way up. I don't know if it's just me, but when I turn the knob all the way down, I can hear some static "scratching" noise and when I turn it...

Currently loving my setup. Looks very lovely.

  The STX with the built-in amps on "High-Gain" is definitely not enough to drive the Q701s I'll tell you that for sure. I knew I wasn't getting the full sound that the Q701 could provide. I hooked up my Schiit Magni to the STX via RCA cables. Definitely had a fuller sound but I expected more...

  So I just tried my Magni with an STX. The STX had a better soundstage than the Modi but the highs were still too much for me. I do like how the STX has an EQ. With the low ends turned up a bit, the bass sounded terrific and I was mind-blown with how my bassy electronic music sounded with the...

My Schiit Modi + Magni just came in thank god my Q701s finally have that full sound that I've been looking for. The bass is clear and the highs aren't ear piercing anymore. I don't know if the Essence STX would serve to be a better DAC but I can tell you right now that the Q701s do not run...

Hey guys I just ordered a Schiit Modi and Magni and I was wondering if it there would be a sound quality difference using the PYST Cables vs Monoprice RCA Cables Thanks guys.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/607019/akg-q701-simple-mod-increase-bass-and-decrease-soundstage-a-little This is the mod you guys are referring too correct? @tdockweiler you seem to be very informed when it comes to the guts of the Q701. Would it be too much to ask for you to make a...

Did anyone ever make a video of the Q701 mod that everyone is talking about?

  I don't like headphones that are really bassy. When I say the Q701s have no bass I mean that the bass is very low compared the the K271 MKIIs. I tried listening to the Q701s with my iphone and it's the pretty much the same. Yes the STX gives the Q701 a fuller sound, but in general the mids...

So after some researching, I've come down to 2 setups. Either the DAC Destroyer + Little Dot 1+ or Schiit Modi + Magni. Anyone have experience with or opinions on either of these?
