The K601 is still listed on their website, so I doubt it has been discontinued: http://www.akg.com/personal/K%20601,pcp_id,165,pid,2,_psmand,1.html Notice the retouched product picture (no "Made in Austria" anymore)...

According to their respective service manuals, the capsules of the K702 and Q701 share the same part number (2400Z00080): http://www.akg.com/mediendatenbank2/psfile/datei/4/k70248b2a8664eaf0.pdf http://www.akg.com/mediendatenbank2/psfile/datei/34/Q7014ccfcf894bb82.pdf For you information...

Just got the MeElectronic M2s Seriously hoping it improves with burn in, absolutely correct in your review where you say that the bass is boomy however I would like to add that the sound is just unbalanced and the bass really just overpowers everything. I would like to add that this is a newer...

Oh, so we are to distrust the presuppositions of the natural sciences and recognize yours as the "truth" instead? How convenient. This discussion is futile, just as the majority on Head-Fi.org, and you may be a troll for rejecting the fundamentals of the natural sciences in a science (and not...

I think it can be less than that, depending on frequency and testing conditions: http://www.audioholics.com/education/acoustics-principles/human-hearing-amplitude-sensitivity-part-1

How would I go about reterminating them? Just do like this thread says and cut the 1/4 then solder on the 1/8? http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/195316/senn-hd595-recabling-question

On my ipod touch and sansa clip+ both jacks are broken and only play mono on the right headphone due to bending. Any advice on how to fix them? Also if this helps, i would suppose that the cause was using them in my pocket while walking with my HD595s (HD5x5 owners you know how the 1/4>>1/8...

You contradict yourself with this example. The belief that nothing can move faster than light has not been disproven by the expansion of space because the expansion of space is not vectorial movement and hence space doesn't "move" (in which medium could it possibly move?). You seem to have...

Reorganized archive and removed a few duplicates (only if removed at headphone.com as well). Each device measured by HeadRoom now has its own descriptively named subdirectory for easy look up.

Neither microphones nor loudspeakers nor headphones need to compensate for equal-loudness contours, although headphones do have to simulate certain room acoustics. There is a difference between objective sound pressure and subjective loudness.

Updated and reorganized archive. The archive now includes measurements from headphone.com and innerfidelity.com in their respective subdirectories.

Lots of beats by Dre, Ibuds going as loud as they can get, low end Sony's and skullcandies. That's really all I see people wear nowadays. I have convinced my basshead friends to buy the Beyer DT770 though, never actually seen him wear it... Seriously I agree that spending for headphones has...

I've had a similar problem but it was due to the headphone jack on the source being bent.

Purple too.
