I meant the 702/01s to the 242s or even the 272s(although there closed sets).

One more thing. Is it even fair to pit them together? The thing is I can get a hell of a deal on the k272-HD and k242-HD but not the 701s. If I do get the 701s it be a $105.29 difference for the 272s and a $127.79 on the 242s. So I'm at a loss as I want a open set of headphones.

Yeah my bad I kept picking personal audio with the pic of the k701s and thought that maybe they where discontinued. Thanks even thou I feel a bit dumb now.

Does AKG make the 701&702 anymore? I can't find them at harmon audio or AKG's website. If not how do they compare to the current AKG k272-HD(I know they are closed) or the k242-HD?

I have the XB700 and from what I've read they sound very similar. I also have the BEATs and I find myself using the sony most of the time.

The XB700 all the way! I have them and the Studio Beats by Monster try and guess which I have on now.

Hold and behold no sooner talked about, now are nowhere to be found. I stopped after work to see if I can pickup one to try out just to find them all gone. But thanks for the heads-up.

Or anyone for that matter,

@ .Sup did you happened to have heard The Sharper Image Bluetooth Hi-Fi system. If so how do those active monitors hold up? I have them at my work place and was wondering if I should upgrade my speakers as I can get them at a good price. Heres a pic of them.

Here my setup nothing hi-fi (FOR NOW)

I saw them at Wal-mart just today. They kinda reminded me of the Yamaha table-top iPod dock and found them to have an same attractive look. I have given my mother the Bose Acoustic Wave System. She was wondering what brand was Bose and why they can only be controlled with just the remote...

The Bose look good for portability but that price a little hard to swallow for some. I had been looking for set that can be taken on the fly and had stereo separation so decided to try the sony srs-m50. Out of the package they didn't hold up to well and distorted like crazy but after a little...

I have the Sharper Image Hi-Fi 1.2 Bluetooth KO-500 speakers and was wondering if anyone here had a chance to listen to them. If so can one recommend a better active set. My budget is about $600. My initial idea was to get a set of passive Klipsch-Icon-WB-14 powered by a single CryoParts Pop...

Again I like my Sony mdr-xb700 over my beats. BTW: I find the bass on the sony to be powerful but slow(thats the only way to describe it). Hip-hop, techno/trance, dance, R&B, they do really well but not so good for metal. I find that they can't handle acoustical heavy music well. Fast hard...

I might just be a novice but I do love my Sony MDR-XB700 over my Beats (I know big woop). Easy to power, very comfy, can be found for $70-$80, and some would disagree but I like the look of them and have a quality built to them. Just to warn you they do get warm and some don't like the the...
