Hello, I use a pair of AKG K701 headphones. I use it with my Tag McLaren PA10 preamp, and I'm pleasantly surprised with the sound. These are really fantastic headphones. And I'm aware the K701s go better with a Headphone amp. I've read in places that some people like to use their K701...

I am consolidating my listening station down to a primarily CD-based system, using my PS3, Zero DAC, a new (to me) Darkvoice 336i, and a new pair of headphones. I have owned Audiotechnica A900s, Sennheiser 595s, Grado SR-80s and Grado SR-225s. Here are my impressions, as a guide:  ...

I have been reading as much as I can about the Ultrasone headphones and their proprietary S-Logic engineering. It seems to me that when someone listens to headphones, that the impression of its excellence should be fairly immediate. However, it has been said on many threads here that, because of...

My budget for headphones is $350 and those two options looked like my best bet. If anyone has some suggestions I am of course open to them. I have listed some songs that represent my musical taste on a normal day, and just from reflecting I suppose I am looking for a setup that is neutralish if...

  Hi everyone!   This is less of a formal review, and more of my thoughts on these headphones. This is not a scientific review in any way, shape, or form. This is all my personal opinion.   Perhaps this can be useful to a fellow noob or at the very least provide some unboxing pictures...

Hello there! just a quick question: what would be better? a pair of used grado hf-2 (modded with a viablue 3.5mm plug) or an akgk701 + senn hd650 combo?  I'd use the phones for almost all genres (maybe not jazz or alot of classical), and i'm a basshead, so DnB, dubstep and hardcore are a major...

I am looking for a pair of headphones that is very different from my Denon AH-D7000. At the same time, I want to wear an affordable one so I can take frequent naps with. I thought about getting IEM's, but I prefer using headphones instead. So far, I had narrowed down to the following:  ...

I think I finally found my true love, haha.....just picked up a second hand hd580 and this is the way music is supposed to sound!! Man the Beatles never sounded better....classic Miles Davis, etc., etc. The k702 won't be getting any head time for a while....at least for casual listening....still...

Greetings everyone! It's my first post here and I'd like to hear some opinions about my experience with these headphones.   I've been aching to get them for a while and now that I did...I am shocked that they were nothing like what I imagined. I ripped up the wrapper, opened up the box and...

Hello, This is the first post I have made in a long time. I have spent lots of time on this site, and I have read many reviews and impressions on all kinds of cans. I know its taboo to just ask without doing research, but I grow tired of everyone having their audiogasms, and want some...

  So I'm looking to buy a pair of full sized headphones, and right now the AKG K701/K702 have caught my eye. I am currently coming from Westone 2, which I believe is a bit neutral, especially compared with cheaper phones such as the portapros or the hd202 that I used to own (I do not like bass...

Hey guys~ So, I've been looking though every page of the DIY Headphone Stand thread and was wondering what kind of hanger would work best for my future K701. At first, I was planning to make something like this(second post tutorial) so that I could hang both my K701 and M50s, but then...

Hey I just recently purchased an akg k702 and an e9   and I was wondering what would be the BEST dac for this around the price of 200. If there is anything better than an E9 pricing around 130-150 I wouldn't mind returning my E9 and getting it.   I've read so many threads about this but...

Amazon/HeadRoom now list AKG K701 headphones for $349.  I just bought a pair a few months ago, (and then sold them for a DT880), for $239?   Anyone?

I've been looking at both cables and the both have a large following. The prices are pretty much the same with the exception that Double Helix 6ft costs the same as the 5ft Moon Audio Black Dragon. I emailed Drew and asked if the Blue or Black Dragon would be better and he recommended the Black...

Hey guys, so I've been thinking a bit, and I think it's time I start moving up the audiophile chain of monetary doom. I've stuck to budget-fi long enough. As much as I love it, I think it's time I begin to really notice upgraded sound.   I am setting a pretty strict final price limit of $300...

  Hello everyone, I’m new to Headfi, have been reading threads on this forum for some time finally decided to make an account. I’ve been into music and sound for some time but have just recently discovered the world of headphones. I promise I won’t be a troll and make repetitive threads. IF I...

  Hey everybody,   I have a BSG amp, (CMoy designed by Sanjay), that was originally designed for the Beyerdynamic DT880 600-ohm version, according to my buddy I bought it from (fellow Head-Fier). Funny enough, I didn't like it with my Beyers, but it's awesome with my ER-4S.  They seem made...

I have had my K271 MK II's for about 6 months and I have been overall pleased with them. however, I really wanted an open back over the ear headphone, and at the time of purchase, I could not find a K240 series for the same price. I was thinking the K601's would be a good upgrade. I enjoy the...

Imagine something happened (your house was set on fire, tsunami, earthquake, zombie apocalipse...) and you could only save one combo/set.   Rules: You can save 1 headphone, 1 amp, 1 DAC and 1 output to drive your headphone. (You dont need to choose one of each, it is personal)      Let me...

Hi, I am looking to get some good all-round headphones.  I want to use them for gaming on pc and ps3 and music also on the pc.  I listen to a wide variety of music including rock, punk, progressive rock, some metal, lots of irish music, lots of black keys and other bluesy stuff, and some other...

I found an interesting web page showing the way our ears shape the sounds we hear.  http://personal.cityu.edu.hk/~bsapplec/frequenc.htm   EQ can be used to make up for those curves, most manufactures already pre calibrate there headphones to make up for this. For example,      The...

i found this video on youtube and in it they are making the akg k702 and i thought you might enjoy it. i found it rather fascinating though i thought the soldering job was done badly.   edit: someone asked for a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LbsQRaQD6A&feature=feedrec_grec_index

I want to spend on the best headphones $300 can buy, I will not be using a amp too, but I will venture into amps in the future. I'm currently looking at the: AD1000 AD900 AD700 K701 K702 K601 HD600 HD598 HD558 PC350 PC360 SRH940 SRH840 I will be using it for gaming...

Hi, im new here… nice to meet you all. Im sorry for making such thread, but I already read the threads about portable amps for k702, but I still find ambiguity for the the conclusion from those threads. So I make this thread so we can have the up to date conclusion since you all may have new...
