Wow, M-13 sure hasn't hyped these for nothing!    Dat attack and speed. Detailed to disturbing levels. From record to record I'm going "****'s got too much bass" and "****'s got too little bass". I think these play the chameleon role even a bit better than the Paradox. Definitely more detailed...

Ordered the on day of this post and they got shipped on the 3rd of April. Well, ok weekend and all, but still took their sweet ass time.    Hehe, this is exciting. I haven't purchased a new headphone in a long time. 

  1. See my previous post. Big emphasis on the word "possibly", because I can't assume anything yet.    2. Those impressions obviously are of the current version without the "upgrade". All have been very highly praising of the product. What if some of those qualities suffered just because of...

I'm all for a fully finished product. I can see how people want to avoid the confusion and constant upgrading. I'm not going to buy this product based on the impressions here alone nor am in a hurry to even try these.    I don't see how some see "better" as such a black and white thing. Let's...

  I'm not slamming Jerg! Distinction needs to be made. I'm slamming people for trusting his modding logic so... dogmatically. 

  All hail grand daddy dogma.

The guys at Amazon.es sure are enjoying their siestas!

  But it hasn't. Only Jerg has the word. No measurements, other substantive reviews, nada. Only "holistic" reviews that seem to echo each other. Not that I don't trust Jerg, or any of the other listeners, it's just too soon to make such claims and alter production!

  I assume Dr. Fang has ears of his own and even good measuring equipment. But he's also a businessman. "Deep bass" is such a sexy marketing term, conducted by the music and trend paradigms of today, which makes it easy to prioritize it over everything else. Though with products at this...

  Except people here don't really talk about music... Good point otherwise :)

  You are right I might've lost my reading comprehension regards to the different baffle designs and bass conduction. Got mixed up and didn't bother to go back enough to properly quote. But speaking personally, I'd leave the conduction behind. Have you listened to music that doesn't extend...

Kudos to Jerg for all his contributions in this hobby in general, but Fang has potentially just lost a customer.    I personally simply cannot go and purchase something based on all of this mess. I'm mainly pointing at people obsessed with sub-bass (as Jerg himself has admitted being), as I...

To me the T1 have always, in every instance, been a huge facepalm. That price is inexcusable. Win win for me, since the 702 do everything better and at a much more affordable price. 

Nice. 

Quote:   Checked them out and they still don't. I don't really like coiled cables.. Heavy and tend to pull light headphones off your head. Well, it's mini-xlr so I'll probably find something :)

Quote:   Where'd you get it? Been meaning to get one to reach my av-system as well.

Just want to bring to everyone's attention, if it already isn't, that the 209 version of the mkII is very susceptible to gsm-interference. Much more so than my previous GS Voyager. I noticed today when I got onto the bus at the same time with a girl talking to the phone, the typical buzz came up...

Quote:   As I mentioned earlier, the Q701's I tried had this harsh/tizzy quality. Don't know if it was an anomaly restricted to that pair.. The 65's were better though, but I'd have to give them a listen side by side to say any further than I already have.    I'm not so sure it's the...

Smooth also means detailed. Some CSD's show that they don't have much ringing. It's easy to see an uneven and peaky treble response with a bit of ringing as detail, though in reality it's just highlighting parts of the spectrum. These don't highlight anything, therefore they aren't the best to...

Quote:   Incredibly smooth, even and fast. One of the few headphones that does this right. There's no sibilance and they're not harsh. Overall, depends on the recording whether these headphones can be regarded as bright or warm.    Foremost, however, I respect the musicality and...

Quote:   Yes. Sometimes with certain material a bass peak can indeed make it sound more clear in this regard even, but usually fails to do so on average :)    Linear and fast without distortion. I'd also take a gentle roll than a rise if I had to choose. 

Been listening to these for an hour or two. I can't really offer a clear reference to the earlier versions since I've never owned these/them. Neither have I compared these side by side with any other version. Everything's from memory for clarification.    Two days ago I ran the Q701's...

Quote:   Fails to distinguish notes in pitch. Well, they don't really fail but don't pass with flying colors either. Especially bass department is just mediocre.. The K702 Ani just made the music "sing" in comparison, for lack of a better word.    I'm open to ideas that would explain...

Funny thing is, I tried a Q701 yesterday and it had this tizzy quality I'd associate with a poor chain behind a K70X. The Anniversary editions did not have this out of the same portable system...   Have to admit that I got a good price on them and couldn't resist so I'll get to listen some...
