AKG Q701 is not comfortable
The Philips Fidelio X1 (or X2) is very comfortable. I was able to snag the original X1 on an amazon lightning deal for 150 about 2 years ago. It is much more comfortable than my Q701 primarily due to not having those asinine bumps on the headband. The sound stage and SQ isn't the same, but it is...- Hawkinsman07

Keyboard-Fi
Typing on my Das Keyboard Ultimate with Cherry Brown Keys. I love it, I've written probably about 100 pages worth of manuscript on it and its so very smooth. It's a dust and finger-print magnet though!- Hawkinsman07

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
I picked this mic up after I snatched up that ridiculous Philips X1 deal on amazon. Then I ruined my savings by getting a mix amp for my PS4. Either way, the mic is excellent and the headphone works great with it. I've used the headphone pair for Skype, projects, even talking on the phone...- Hawkinsman07

Philips Fidelio X1 | Review & Comparison
Just squeaked into the Amazon Gold Deal. 150 for these sounds pretty good. I already have a Q701 + 172HD. Should be a nice change until i get the mighty HE-400- Hawkinsman07

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
Finished listening to this beast after several hours. It is so much smoother than the e7/e9 combo. It has better clarity, separation and transparency. While I've only tested this with my Q's...I might have to dust off my K172 and maybe see if i can safely plug in my SE215. I'm listening to...- Hawkinsman07

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
I just got mine this morning for my Christmas gift from the lovable folks. (Both the Magni (#107 baby!) and the Modi + PYST Unbalanced cables) Anyways, I'm burning them in. As its early on, but from my Q701's...it sounds a lot more resolving than my e17/e7 + e9. Smoother with...- Hawkinsman07

AKG Q701 Review
Whoa, I need to check this post more often. Thanks a lot everyone for expertise and input! I've been using my Q's for probably 200+ hours. I'm just a poor college student but man do these sound great. The mids have gotten deeper and the bass is well defined but never booming. If you...- Hawkinsman07

AKG Q701 Review
Quote: While I doubt the difference (if any, YMMV) is worth $100 bucks, these were a gift. If I were buying I would have gotten the K702's. My parents just got their P's and Q's mixed up. I can't complain . I love the complete black look. Much better than the green or white Q's IMHO...- Hawkinsman07

AKG Q701 Review
A remix of the classic and controversial K701/2 phone with perhaps a few sound differences. I got these phones as a surprise birthday present from my folks. I panicked because I knew I had no possible way of amping this thing. Thankfully the next day my girlfriend purchased a Fiio E7 for me...- Hawkinsman07

A guy in my Digital Storytelling lecture was wearing some Aviators. I asked him how they sounded and he said "So much better than Bose" like i was supposed to be impressed.

K701 vs Q701? Take a look at this graph.
For some reasons, my family just got me the Q701's in black instead of the K's which are considerably cheaper.. I have never heard a stock K series phone...but I will be posting a review of it as soon as its burned in. Maybe in 2 weeks or so. What I can tell right now is that it has really...- Hawkinsman07

I should be receiving my E9 tomorrow pending the University mail system. I am trying to get a review started of all of my gear. Q701, SR60, AKG K172 HD along with my E7 and tomorrow, E9. I think this should make all of em sing, maybe not so much with the '60.- Hawkinsman07

My music is usually Rock/Jazz/Blues/Classical/R&B with heavy Eagles in there. My budget is around $300 but its a little flexible. I suppose DJ headphones aren't quite the right words to use. I am looking for more dorm use / escape the chaos/ enjoy the music headphones. I was hoping...- Hawkinsman07
