Quote: Yea I would like to know the answer to this as well. One reason I am returning the E07k is on the assumption more power will give me better sound. I can get the volume to be too loud on 6db of gain, the amp turned to max and itunes turned to max. Bring the volume down a tad and I...

Quote: Well as I said before, the Q701 adds a of bit bass coloration in my opinion and anymore would be distasteful in my humble opinion. Therefore, a transparent amp such as the O2 is a welcoming solution in my situation. Furthermore, I am very doubtful that the O2 would struggle with...

Quote: How was your experience with your order from the Harman Ebay store? Get any sticky cables? LOL .Did you buy them refurbished, or new? How do you like the magni/modi stack?

AKG Q701 vs AKG K240 MKII   Both headphones are compared using an ipod touch.   K240 MKII:   I had a lot fun listening to these headphones. I found myself asking, "if these headphones sound this good how much better will the Q701 sound?" I was not disappointed with the MKII...

Well I have contacted harmanaudio ebay store and they are not very helpful or responsive. I am so far disappointed with their customer service as it is almost non existent. Not sure what my next step is, may have to return the whole thing and get something else. I don't mess with companies that...

Yea I can handle the scuff marks but these cables are really sticky. I mean after handling the cables I feel like I need to wash my hands! I tried cleaning them off with a mild soap but still just as sticky as before. @jasonb are your cables sticky at all?   @Saleri. Where did you hear the...

@Jasonb: i noticed that the description of the Q701 on the akg site states that the Arches are metal. I am guessing that the arches they are talking about are the bands that carry the wire to the right speaker. Are the arches on your headphones indeed metal? I ask because mine are clearly a...

I got my q701 headphones today. Pretty cool. As I stated earlier, I got the headphones from harman/kardon store on ebay. They where 200 dollars plus 16 dollars tax, with free shipping. The box they came in was somewhat large. The headphones where securely placed in the box. However, the original...

If you go to ebay and look up harmanaudio store front, you will find the seller I bought the q701 from. As of right now it looks like they are only excepting bids on these headphones. So try placing a bid. Otherwise you can wait until the "buy now" option becomes available. That's what I did.  

Nevertheless I think I will wait just a little while and see if they drop in price. Amazon does have the green ones for 250...but their green. Not sure if I like those very much. Also it will give me time to figure out what I want to do for dac. I am leaning towards getting the focusrite 2i4...

Sounds like I may have made the right decision sending back the mkII. Does anyone have any input on how much I should spend on q701. I mean what is a fair price? Amazon is currently selling the black q701 for 280 dollars. Is that a fair price?  

I sent back my MKII so I will most likely getting the q701 very soon. Unfortunately I will not be able to do a comparison of the two headphones when I get the q701 since the MKII are no longer in my possession. Perhaps I spent enough time with the MKII that I will be able to do a comparison. I...

Hello. I recently bought a pair of akg k240 mkII brand new for 105.00 dollars. I like them and feel they have a nice amount of bass for my taste, but also feel they could be better. I listen to bands like Opeth, Alice In Chains, Porcupine Tree. I do listen to bands like radio head, Pearl Jam...
