What are the differences between the 701 and 702? From searching, I have found that it seems to be a different color and a detachable cable as the only differences. Am I missing something else?

thanks so much for all the replies! I was confused because I see one reseller on Amazon selling both a "White" version and a normal version, I got mine today and they are the iPod white and so I thought they maybe sent me the wrong color.. In the picture I found online though they look almost to...

Are AKG K701's white or grey? Or do they come in both colors?

does it ship with an adapter to make it work with a ipod or bithead?

I am considering purchasing a set of K701's and was curious how the cable is terminated out of the box? Will I need an adaptor to use it with my total bithead? I am just curious in the state AKG shps them i, are they terminated in XLR, 1/4 or ideally the standard iPod headphone jacks? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, My HD650's recently met an unfortunate death by someone carelessly knocking them off the table and stepping on them. I was always pretty happy with the pair, but now I am wondering what else is out there? I haven't been keeping current with the world of headphones, so I am...

i use mine with the senn hd650, works pretty well for me

Hello Everyone, Quick question. Is there any sound quality lost when I play my cds through my computer (Macbook Pro) via itunes and listen to them on my HD650s w/Total Bithead vs if i were to use a regular cd player as the source? Since the thing I am learning with this hobby is that...

thanks for all the replies, i want another amp since i basically just trying to learn the different sounds/experiences with different amps.. i was thinking portable amps = cheaper so I was just looking at the portable ones.. what I am really looking for is something that is going to be a...

bump.. i know someone out there has to have an opinion!

also, what is the difference in sound between a tube amp and solid state??

I recently purchased a Total Bithead (which I am pretty happy with) to use with my HD650s but since this website, as others have said, is somewhat of an addiction, I am looking at some of the lower priced amps to play around with. Since I just spent all this money on my Total Bithead and my HD...

i also have to add the best way so far I have found to test the cross feed. when using the amp on my mac via USB DAC I turned the cross feed off and went into my sound settings and put the balance of the music playing to only be on one side, I then turned the cross feed on and off and there is a...

probably am listening too loud.. just bought the batteries same day I got it in the mail (unless they were old on the shelf or something) also I have a lot of iTunes music store downloaded mp3s.. they sound about the same with the amp as without, is this just how it goes since they are a low...

don't get me wrong these headphones sound awesome, the bithead seems to make the sound a bit richer and produce higher clarity, i think i am pretty happy with the combo, and am getting more and more pleased as i listen to different music varieties i found the gain switch near the batteries...

just got my bithead yesterday to pair with my HD650s.. I have been listening to them a great deal the last day or so both from USB port on my macbook pro using the DAC and also just directly from the macbook pro. My first impression was that these did nothing and i wasted some money.. I...

is there a particular album or record company that produces better sounding albums that I can test these headphones out with?

i just ordered my bithead the other day.. should be here tomorrow... i'm a little worried now after reading this thread since I am going to be using it in the same setting it seems (USB DAC*from my Macbook Pro), does anyone have any suggestions on how to measure the performance boost in using...
