I have a couple of questions regarding these cans...   I have posted my system specs in a couple of other threads, but those threads were not about the headphones.   I use a Logitech Z5500 surround sound system that gets it's sound from a SupremeFX-XFi sound card.   I was wondering...

Before I begin I just wanted to say that, no, I have not burned them in for 100 hours or more.   However, I don't believe they are going to give me so much better sound after 100 hours that I'll change my mind.   I purchased the E7/E9 combo to power them, and to be honest they sounded...

Title says all.  I'm looking for an amp that will make these puppies shine!

I already have a NFB-12 and KICAS Caliente to power these but want to try a tube amp.  I didn't want to spend too much to try, so do you think a Little Dot I+ be enough to power my two headphones?  Any other tube amp under $150 the might be good?   Thanks!

Hi Everyone,   Ok, so I have been researching for it seems like days now for a good headset.  I am currently running a Razer Carcharias headset for PC  gaming and listening to music.  I find my current headset very comfortable but the audio especially when listening to music sounds very...

This weekend I've got the chance to compare the AKG K702 (Mogami cable) with the Beyerdynamic T1 (balanced). I'll not go too much into history of those great companies, maybe just a quick reminder... The K-702 is the studio version of a long AKG headphones line that started with the 301...

I just purchased a pair of AKG K702s.  I'm now looking for an amp to power it.  After reading around (but no live testing) I think I've narrowed it down to the following (original budget under $500, but pushed a bit): Woo Audio WA6: http://www.wooaudio.com/products/wa6.html Woo Audio WA3...

I've been reading the forums trying to come up with a good amp and DAC combo that I can use with the K702 for under $600.  I also want to add a DT880 600Ohm to my headphone stable and it would be great if the amp will be good for both. Can anyone make any suggestions for a good US or European...

These are my K702s, masterfully recabled by Bryan of Zynsonix. Check it out! Here's the link: http://www.diyaudioblog.com/2012/04/balancing-akg-k702-headphone.html?m=0

I have always been a non believer that "cable" plays any significant role in sound quality until I got Baldur MKII for my Shure SE535 Ltd. The difference is day & night :cool: not only the base is much pronounce, highs are also better defined. Now, I can no longer laugh at those who paid...

I have been using Fiio E7/E9 combo to drive AKG k702 for couple month and is looking for an upgrade. The source files are 24bit/96 via an independent desktop DAC.   The candidates are SPL auditor and Braham Slee Solo ultra-linear. So far I am shifting toward Solo as the sound is more...

AKG Q701  Vs.  AKG K702   Gear used for testing   HRT Music Streamer II  -> Matrix M-Stage Gaming:  Astro MixAmp 5.8 -> Matrix M-Stage     Quick comparison   These are obviously similiar souding (but NOT the same sounding) headphones. Q701 has as warmer overall sound.  It...

I'm in a quandry.  Should I spend the money and buy the Lyr or go budget for the M-stage?  I have never liked the way my K702s sound driven by my Woo WA6.  Now my Grado 325is have taken over that amp.  I doubt the K702 setup will be my primary setup.  I love the Grados.  One beneift of the...

Been away from head-fi for 6 months changing nappies and sleepless nights etc... So it's nice to be back and with a new purchase. Not sure how many hours are on my K702's as I bought them 2nd hand but the pads look as if they've never been worn. So early impressions as I've only had a couple of...

  The bottom line is that these AKG K550's right out of the box sound like K702's with a +2db boost to all frequencies lower than 500Hz.  So if you favor the AKG flavor, slightly thin-sounding mids and bright highs, and need closed-back, look no further.  Comfort is off the piston - The Denon...

There is a pair of AKG K702 on craiglist near where I am vacationing, and they are going for a great price of $120.  When I was looking at K701's there have been worries of fakes, so I'm wondering if I should be concerned at all with the K702, and if so how to identify if they are genuine.  I...

    Good evening everyone. This is my review of the M-Stage Headphone Amplifier.    The review is being conducted in conjuction with Charles, my trained Space Monkey from the Planet Zazvor, using a fully burned-in AKG K702 and an iPod Nano with a Fiio L3 LOD (line out dongle). The...

hi all,   i currently own the Sony MDR-SA3000 headphones, which give nice spatial sound, but wanted to upgrade to something better   ive narrowed down my choices to the AKG 702 and Audio Technica AD700X   i understand these are probably the best for fps gaming give their wide sound stage...

Sorry for another one of these threads, but I couldn't find a recent one with a similar price range.   I listen mostly to indie and alternative music with a lot of acoustic albums in particular. What sort of headphones would you recommend for this music in this price range?   Thanks in advance.

I currently use Sennheiser HD650s with a custom Enigma Audio cable.  I like these headphones very much, but for the last couple of years I have been wanting to try something of the 701 variety.  My amp is a Marantz PM8004 integrated.  The headphone section in this unit is among the best I have...

I have just gotten the V-Moda XS and I feel like the bass is a little too much and like the sound is a bit too congested for me.   I would like to know if you guys would recommend the Sennheiser Momentum (Over Ear) over the V-Moda XS and why. If not, please tell why you would recommend...

Can somebody suggest really good amp/DAC for AKG K702/Q701. I have heard they need really good driver and probably fiio e17 wont be good enough. I am looking for something portable, in the range 150-200$.

Can someone compare these headphones?   There doesn't seem to be much on the Shure's in general on this forum, apart from one big mega-thread, and I couldn't find much comparing it to the K702 there.   What are the differences in sonic presentation between these headphones? They both...
