Here's your k601\701 driver(actually pics of k701 driver, by head-fier superkuato, from this thread) From the other side, there're two opening, covered but sticky white tape: To allow more driver movement, simply take away one of this sticky white tape pieces, thus allowing more bass...

Hello everyone,   Here's the back story: I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 25s, which seem to be a very good compromise between portability and sound quality. However, I have gone to many concerts lately and have been wondering whether it's not possible to find headphones which sound...

Well my HR-2 arrived today, and the OP chip is fully burnt in because I bought it used on head-fi from TRose49, a truly wonderful person to buy gear from. So far my listening experience has left me awestruck and that is hard to do. My previous experience with headphone amps are the RSA...

Im thinking to buy a good cable for q701, id like to know can i use the cable on multiple brand if i purchase another headphone? Is kinda waste that if spend a 400 bucks but only can use on 1 headphone,

Hello my fellow head-fiers..   It's been a long time since I upgraded anything in my headphone collection.  Been blissfully happy with my equipment and over the last many years (possibly 4 to 5 years), I have been sucked into the world hi-fi audio (speakers/amps etc.)   In that time, the...

Can anyone tell me what the default angle is on these cans? I removed them for cleaning. The earcups are angled.

Hey,   I am terribly sorry if that's not the forum for this kind of thread, but I just want you to know that in amazon.de they sell K701s for about 170 euros and thats around 90 euros cheaper than .fr and 60-70 compared to co.uk.   I apologize again if the topic is inappropriate, but I...

I thought there wasn't much difference between my on-board soundcard ALC655 and my Schiit Modi/Magni.   Anyone else out there that share the same thought?

Hello,   I have been struggling with a decision which is where to get a Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO or a AKG K-701, the primary use of which will be gaming 70% (all genre of games), music 20% (mainly dubstep, alternative modern rock and some pop) and films 10%. I will be purchasing these...

Dear all,   Sorry for posting the same question which appeared hundred times, currently I have a integrated DAC AUNE X1, it do have a Amp itself. But for K701 it's obviously insufficient, I use a Macbook pro + Amarra to output optical digital signal to the AUNE X1, it do performance good at...

Hi guys,   While I love my current HD428s, I am looking into buying a pair of open backed headphones.  I also would like to buy a (somewhat) portable amp to power them and my HD428s.  My top 3 options for my budget are the Grado SR60i's and SR 80i's or the Sennheiser HD 558's.  I mainly...

I heard that upgrading the K701\K702 pads to the K702 Anne ones gives a great improving in the sound. well, at least I heard it about the Q701, but the K701\2 build is just the same, they should fit those too, should them? Anyway, how can I get a pair of the K702 Anne pads? Thanks.

I am a Chinese student. I have a akg k701, please give me some advice about how to make a good system. I just have 2000 dollars, so please don't make it too expensive. I also have an ipod classic 160gb and an ath ad900 headphones. thanks for your reply.

Hey all, I've had my HD558's for about 8 months now. I think they sound okay, but the problem is the comfort. I know people praise the HD55x series for their comfort, but for some reason they are just not comfortable for me. I believe it is because of their clamping force. It was worse the first...

Got a question. it seems like much people here has the STX\K701 combo like me. I'd like to share a real problem I find with this combo: the K701 bass. While other cans trough the amped connector on the STX has healty and fleshy bass, the K701 seems to be too bass lacking. I know the K701 are...

Hi everyone, i was searching for a professional opinion about a pair of good on ear headphones and this seems to be the right place. I'm going to buy a pair of headphones for gaming and home cinema, and for my needs, and more over, for my budget i'm interested about some models; Akg K701 was...

A common complaint about the AKG K701 which I share is a lack of bass, or rather of bass impact/punch. Listening to a Beyerdynamic Dt 880 I can hear and FEEL just the right amount of deep bass, with the K701 I just hear it.   On a german speaking forum somebody posted a completely...

This will probably get no replies, but I want to know if there's anyone who's heard both of these headphones or perhaps has A/B'd them, which I'm sure very few have. This is more to help others than myself, as I couldn't find such a thread anywhere besides maybe 1 or 2 people actually comparing...

Hi all, new here but have been searching/reading a few older threads on noise cancelling headphones and the 490NC here already. Many seem to have greats words about the 490NC though I've also read somewhere that they're offloading the 490NC for the newer Sony 1RNC.   I have an AKG K28NC (pic...

Hello everyone I know there are a many comparison out there between these two headphone, but I'd love to get some input in comparing them for a very specific purpose. I need new headphones and I'd use them for listening (almost exclusively classical music). Chamber music's high on the list...

I've been using PXC450 on and off for a long time, they are wonderful headphones. Recently I got one of the Geek Out 1000 and would really like to pair with a passive headphone system. I'm looking for something that can pack away like the PXC450, is circumaural and under the 500$ price point...

Hey Guys - first post in this really cool community ! :)   I tried using the search first of all, but really couldnt find anything useful regarding my kinda specific question.   I produce mostly electronic music in my home studio here in berlin. Since my 5" monitors dont really offer a...

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...
