HI I currently have a HD595 and a FIIO E11 Amp. I am Using a Cowon X9 as my player. I am looking for a replacement for my HD595. Currently FA011 (the original edition not the special edition) = $150 2nd hand, AKG K702 $200 Brand New, Q701 $250 New, HD 650 $300 New. So Basically im looking for a...

hey hifi community lately i have been alternating cables (since they identical terminations) between my q701 and k271(same cable as k702) and the difference came to me in the first listen, since (not to be modest or anything) i and my fellow audiophiles around town believe i have "golden ears"...

I've been looking at both cables and the both have a large following. The prices are pretty much the same with the exception that Double Helix 6ft costs the same as the 5ft Moon Audio Black Dragon. I emailed Drew and asked if the Blue or Black Dragon would be better and he recommended the Black...

Hey! I've had my AKG K702's a while now and have taken the stock cable out a few times, although I tried to to take it out before and it just. will. not. come. out.   I've pushed the little button right down and tried to pull it out hard and nothing happens, I've tried to pull it like...

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)...

That budget doesn't include the amp/DAC/etc. I'd need for it (which, if possible, I'd like recommendations for too, please).   Anyway, my two biggest requirements are that they leak as little sound as possible, and that they're comfortable to wear for 4+ hours. My current headphones, Sony...

So I am new to the whole headphone scene, but as in everything I get into, I kinda go overboard.  I bought 2 headphone last week, D2000 and Grado HF-2. And amps for each one ( KICAS and MAD Ear+) When I was looking for a Headphone hanger I ran into the IKEA hack and decided to but some furniture...

Anyone know which one is best custom made portable amp that still available for K702? It would be best the battery and amp is separated. ( I have lots 18650/16340 battery laying around, if I can use those that would be great!)

Hello, I'm new      But i mainly joined because i know you would all be able to help out my confusion about headphones and such, seein' as i am taking the first step into hearing for the first time. (Finally going to be getting a sound card for my computer and some actually nice cans)  ...

Dear enthusiasts,   I'm on the hunt for a new pair of headphones for my bedroom studio to replace my broken and worn-down Sennheiser HD555.    I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD650 and HD598 and the K701 and K702 from AKG. Right now I'm leaning most towards the 598.   I produce...

Hi guys,   I have recently been very satisfied with my current closed headphones FA003 but want to look into a home setup. I'm hoping to get a open headphone for home use and or reference for my audio engineering work. Looking for something detailed and neutral. If you could suggest a amp...

Searches on this forum might reveal a plethora of good amps for say a K701, or an HD650, but unless you fall into certain brackets, the prospect of selecting the right amp, or at least a good one, is more than a little intimidating. Every time I search for one, a few more pop up and the list...

I'm looking around for a DAC/Amp to match up with the pair of K702s. I value sound quality enough to make a slight investment (in terms of a student budget), but I'm not nearly as dedicated of an audiophile as some, so I'm looking to keep it just shy of $300, and I'm hoping to get some advice...

So this is my first post in Head-fi and hello to everyone! I've been a lurker, researcher and general Head-fi reader for the last few months, trying to make some good choices for my new headphone system. Thanks to the vast and varied array of knowledgeable folks here on Head-fi, I was finally...

I realize this topic of replacement cables for the AKG K702 has been done in bits and pieces before. I am considering buying a replacement cable for mine, and have narrowed it down to the Moon Audio Black Dragon v2 vs. the Toxic Cables Black Widow. I realize that people have said very good...

Hello,   I recently purchased a "Brand New" pair of AKG K702 headphones online, from a power seller on eBay.   The seller claims to be an official re-seller of AKG products and has excellent ratings (cobra-sonics).   I purchased the phones for $265 which was a reasonable price if they are...
