Hey everyone. Not sure if this thread is still alive, but I was thinking about selling a pair of my K702 65th Anniversary Editions with the box that I haven't used in years, and I can't even find a recent pair that has sold on eBay so I have no idea what they are worth at this moment in time. I...

Quote:   They sound about the same to me, but I'm going off my memory of the K702 sound, since I got rid of them last month. If I need a little extra bass boost, I use my Yamaha receiver which has a bass and treble boost dial. Works perfect! But the earpads are definitely more...

In case anyone is interested, I got a pair this weekend and I'm very pleased, mostly due to the new headband. Thank GOD the bumps are gone! I loved my old K702s, but they had to go because they irritated my head on long sessions. So glad to have that sound back!

SoulSyde, just found this thread. You rock. I saw your photo elsewhere on the site and wondered how to get the black stand! Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

Ditto on MAX - it will do it in one step, not two as previously suggested. I don't like to re-encode more than once.

Cool. Two amps I've never even heard of. Thanks!

Speak of the devil. This popped up today, bidding starts at $150 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200822033956&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

Very interesting. For me I loved the sound of the K702s well enough, it was actually the discomfort of the headband bumps that killed it for me. Doesn't matter how good it sounds when there are bumps digging in to the top of my head. But I hear others didn't suffer the headband like I did.

I would think they would both have to have a DAC to serve the same function...

I've never checked out goldenears, I'll have to do that. What don't you like about the K702? I thought the Q701 (which you said you have?) and the K702 were the same sonically, just different cosmetics.

Thanks. Yeah I don't need to color the sound, I love the 501 sound, but I was surprised that they are even harder to drive than the K 702!
