Would a Cayin C5 and a DAC connected to a computer without EQ be enough to get quality bass with the S2ks? 

finally received by s2k's and my god I AM LOVING THESE THINGS. I actually have these paired up with my ZO FS and my E07k line out DAC. The bass on the ZO FS bumps the bass on these guys super cleanly. I would say the quality of the bass improves vastly with the punch becoming more pronounced. I...

wait till you guys try the k7xx with the ZO FS and any DAC. absolutely breath taking. it takes fun to the max

Followed and followed! Used to have a he400 it would be awesome to get any of these earphones!

has anyone tried these with q701 pads? if they are just like the annies, they should sound similar to the q701's with a pad change. for people with both, mind detailing any impressions of the k7xx's with the q701 pads? 

sorry to jump in, but does anyone know where to get a pair of q701 pads? i'm also willing to buy from anyone here willing to sell. 

Awesome! Keep us posted

I just got the k7xx. However im plannin on listening to the akgs for only classical. Do you guys think the q701s would be beter for that in that regard?

bumping an old thread, but I have several questions.   This or the ZO FS? I'm not a huge audiophile, but is wondering what is the better value for the money. Is the bass booster better than the ZO FS? And is the soundstage effect natural enough to add value?   And why does only one seller...

DreamKing, I think your comment settled it for me. HA-SZ2000's and a pad change ordered! I'm only getting this to listen to electronic dance music and hip-hop, I already have other headphones designated for other genres like classical/jazz/etc. I was just concerned that sometimes they may...

Yes, I've heard that a lot around these forums, but I am buying the Number 1 bass headphones on the basshead thread and want even more bass on those phones. I know what I am getting myself into when I EQ. So I'd still like an answer to my question 

I was wondering which would be better. There are a lot of popular bass eqs like the ones on the ZO FS and ZO2. However, I also have Equalizer APO and am willing to learn how to do accurate parametric eqing. What do you guys think?

Exactly. I think it would become enormously popular. Planars focus too much on the audiophile community. If they released a consumer bass heavy version, I reckon it would do might well. 

Are there any other downsides to getting the SZ1000 over the S2k? I'm thinking S1k is a better mixture of vocals and bass for that popular big room house music. I'm seriously considering picking one of these bad boys up

  Yup! Exactly those artists. Funny you should say Sennheisers, I decided I had more fun with my HD518's than the HE-400 orthos. However, I wanted to chase the detail and quality of the bass on the orthos. Some links:      I guess I'm just really chasing that PUNCH when the drops come in.
