Ah, It might be cos I have mine EQ'ed for a bit more bass via my Asus Xonar Essence STX.     Is this true?

Wait, is that £38 for ONE ear pad? Meaning I'd have to buy two?   That's stupid.

  2K treble spike? Not sure I've noticed it.   If someone here can confirm that they fit on the Q701's then I'll probably buy them if my next washing attempt doesn't last long.   Thanks <3

  I know don't worry. It only ever reaches that in summer. The sun on the roof doesn't help. Right now I'm at 21C so it's all good. Anyway, got any advice for my initial question?

  It's a very small loft room with a monstrous gaming PC. Saving up the £ to buy a new PC which doesn't kick out as much heat. Also might move rooms (but this is the only room upstairs with a phone line socket).

Hello fellow Q701 users!   I've had my headphones for just over a year now, but the ear pads are getting a bit grimy. I've tried handwashing them but I think due to the high temps in my room (25C-30C) it returns to its grimy self quite quickly.   Is there any other method of washing I can...

I never knew you could remove the pads!   I got really angry and, since I was replacing them start to tap the right earphone with some force to see if anything was lodged.    The rattling has pretty much gone, and I've now just opened the cup and checked to see if I could see anything...

Hey guys. I love the Q701's to pieces, a massive upgrade from my Razer Megaldons. Paired with my Xonar Essence STX they sound beautiful, until this horrible rattling noise appears in the right driver.   Disclosure: this is my 2nd pair from Amazon.co.uk. The last pair had the same issue where...

Quote: I hope so, apart from that I have never been so happy with a purchase in this entire year. I'm hearing things I have never heard before and it's beautiful. 

Quote: No I noticed the distorted crackling noise while listening to music/movies and playing games. I then went to a test tone and it was much more obvious, it sounds like the driver is rattling against the plastic or something.   I amp the headphones using my Xonar Essence STX...

Please I really need your guys help.   If anyone has a Q701 that has them driven properly (by this I mean at 300-600 ohms), can you listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtrgjCIKntA and tell me if you get a distortion crackling noise in your right earphone?   If not then looks...

Hey guys!   I just got my Q701's this morning to ditch my Razer Megalodons.   They're amazingly comfy, with the ear cups being twice the size of my old ones <3.   I also bought a Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard to power them and to get rid of using onboard audio.    Wow was I in...

I went with the Q701, thanks for your advice guys!

OK I want to buy a pair of quality headphones for my new Asus Xonar Essence STX.    I'm a games journalist so having good audio is important to me when judging any sort of game. But I also listen to music as I write so I need headphones that can do both.   I'm not as bothered as having a...
