Monster wouldn't have redesigned those phones so quickly. I would encourage you to return those. Any indication of where the seller procured them? As for Monster Cable's business practices, I find that they are no different then any other corporation. Yes, they aggressively protect their...

Okay, thank you. Wasn't sure if interference could have that much of an impact. I'll give that a shot tonight, and in the meanwhile will look at other options.

Thanks for the response. The bass certainly isn't dull, nor flat. I also now that the EF-1 should be capable of driving these. What do you mean by "clipping?"

I've found that when the (heavy) bass notes hit on my K702s, there is some distortion. Mind you, this is with my source volume maxed, and my Head Direct EF1 at a relatively high volume. Does this distortion result from a lack of power? If so, is there another unit I can purchase to supply my...
