Trying to add a little warmth to 701's...
Howdy all. I am still loving my AKG 701's and pairing them with the Headamp GS-X has been an unbelievable experience. (Justin rocks!)

What do you say to the skeptics?
I'm sure plenty of you have been in this boat: Explaining to family members what a headphone amplifier even is and why you need/want one, especially when they see you already own fairly nice gear, like I do. What say you?- A.Thorsen

What's next for Sennheiser?
DISCLAIMER: I know there's always something better that comes around the corner and you can always be "chasing the rainbow." That being said: While I'm going into my third or fourth week of waiting on my AKG 701 preorder, I had something come up in the back of my mind. The most...- A.Thorsen
