Hello all,   Been a couple of years getting into head-fi, coming from 2 channel audio. I moved into a smaller place and the neighbors aren't too fond of the Dyn's so I am looking to put my investment into some better headphone equipment. My cans currently are DT990/600, and K702 in the past...

Hello im planning to buy the AKG K702 and with it a Asus Xonar DGX and then for amp/dac i was thinking of getting the Audio-GD NFB-15.32 or the 11.32 which one would be the best out of the two for the AKG K702 ? Im mainly going to use the headphones for FPS (pc) gaming and some music/movies.

Hello, i'm new, sorry for my language.   I read lot of threads but i'm very very confused.   Schiit Lyr, Burson Audio, woo audio, rsa, Alo.... what's the best for them?   I like neutral sound without any coloration, transparency and soundstage, maybe a little warmth would not hurt... i...

What are your thoughts on the W4S u Dac Hd?

Hey guys!   A week ago i got myself 702 65th Annies and listen through my dac2.. well, to get more or less good volume i need to turn the knob to 3 o'clock.. while for my audio technica ath-m50s 10 o'clock is pretty loud. i guess the Benchmark is just not powerful enough to drive those akg's? ...

Hi everyone!  I'm one of those people who thought the Sennheiser HD280 was the pinnacle of headphone sound quality before reading the stuff on this site so bear with me if I say anything asinine.   The setup I'm looking to purchase is a Xonar Essence STX soundcard, the AKG K702 65th Annie, and...

I've read as much as I can regarding these cans and amps, but I still can't narrow it down. I just bought the Annies from a local store. They didn't have any in stock so they were ordered in and will be delivered to my door.   I would like to purchase an amp. My budget is $300. I just am not...

A quite basic question, but I am unaware of the advantages or disadvantages of each. I began my "audiophile" journey with the Dt880 premium 250 ohm, but decided to return those after I found them too laid back and boring for me. I'm now looking into buying either of the two above. My cousin...

I have just bought some akg 702s and was searching around ebay for a headphone amp. There seem to be a lot of cheap chinese amps on there and I was wondering if any of them are any good?   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110932150149?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649  ...

Hey I was wondering if someone could tell me if the AKG K712 is a recoloured version of the AKG K702 Annie? I was really interested in the Annie because of Mad Lust Envy's Headphone guide, but the Annie is extremely expensive in germany (569,00 € on amazon o.O). I will be mostly useing it for...

Hi people,   I have a dilemma.  I bought a vintage pair of K240 DFs some months back.  Basically, I love the mid range and treble on these things, they are so flat, neutral and clear (despite missing the very top end, it sounds), but I cannot abide their lack of bottom end any more!  I...

Hey everyone,   New to the forums and just had a quick question. Sorry if this has been asked before...I couldn't find anything related.     I am new to the world of headphone amps. I currently have the  ATH-M50s and looking to get the AKG K702s. What mobile amp (listening to music on...

Ever since i bought my k702 years ago, I was never able to fully become immersed in the music because of the way these headphones presented the midrange. It's far too forward in its stock form in my opinion. Bass is also tricky. It seems like only the deepest notes are heard, with a giant hole...

  More info here. They look promissing: No bumps on the soft leather headband and low-end performance improved by 3dB. 

Hi everyone i have my Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm versin at home for some time, and i have said to myself that i want to try the best option for the money and borrowed Sennheiser HD 600 and AKG K 702. (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH).   I am only beginning with listening to higher grade headphones so if...

Hi Guys,   As a Hardcore Gamer , I am Involved in sound systems just for few days and according to Mad Lust Envy's Gaming Headset Review and My Budget I got my brand new AKG K702's. And while continueing my research to get the best "mostly competitive" sound quality from my headphones , I...

Hey guys. I am just about to press the "Pay" button on the K702 65th, but I just want to make sure its right for me. I am currently using an HRT Music Streamer II > Little Dot 3 > HD598. This gives me pretty much exactly my taste in headphones. How will the K702 65th compare? Will the bass be...

Curious... These cans use that twist-locking mechanism to secure the earpads... they're also ~$80 a pair.  The cans have a pronounced "rim" around their perimeter.  I see a lot of headphones with earpads that you stretch over the rim to secure them, like the K240 series.  Has anyone tried...

The title asks the question really! Just received my 702's and love them. I was wondering if i used the duet as my dac and the a800 to power, would the be a improvement in bass?

Hi All,   I'm new here, looking to buy a pair of good headphones, considering primarily the ones listed above. There's lots of discussion out there comparing these and discussing which ones need a headphone amp more than others and how they compare with or without amping. I'm planning on...

So I'm pretty much set on keeping these two headphones as my mains, but I want one nice cable for both. I'm not a believer of cable-fi per se. I do know cables do make a minute difference, but not one I personally gain from. I mainly just one a nice cable for both that I can switch to and fro...

Alright, I need some help.   I have a Titanium HD and I recently purchased the AKG K702. I am trying to run the following setup: Titanium HD > RCA Line Out > FiiO E09K RCA (Aux) Line In > K702. The Titanium HD sits above my video cards and i have no other free slots to plug it into without...

Heya,   So I decided to treat myself to a Christmas gift using the spare money I had been given/leftover from gifting, and it rounds to about $450. Basically I'm looking for open-backed headphones around or under the $350 range as I'm willing to wager that headphones around this area are...

I am looking for a high quality headset or pair of headphones + mic and possibly external amp + dac that reach "audiophile" level. I would like to stay under $500 for the setup, if possible. This will be used for gaming on my Xbox and PC plus music and movies on my PC.  As far as taste goes, I...

I'm looking for a decent combo, possibly an integrated unit, for less than $400. Must have optical in. It's for immersive gaming and media watching. That is, Wii U, animated films, and anime. Bass isn't important.   Source is Panasonic DMP-BDT320. Headphones are AKG K702. Would like...
