I'm considering the Schiit Audio Lyr and was wondering how that amp preforms with the K701's?   I've heard some say that the powerful Lyr brings out the full potential of the 701's and I wondered if any here have found that to be true. I'm assuming that the Lyr has too much gain for my Grado...

So, I was having a discussion with my friend about aesthetics and I was just wondering, what do you guys find more aesthetically appealing? The futuristic styling of the AKG K701 or the simple and mature HD650?

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...

Please list your best 3 headphones/iems for the following categories...just to see what people have or other people want: (understandably the categories below can be broken down,but just looking for a quick reference guide)       Best 3 headphones for.....   Movies:   Music...

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 have a pair of k701s that have been a workhorse for a couple years now.  Unfortunately, they seem to be losing a connection internally, as one (sometimes both) channel cuts out often unless I jiggle the cable at the connection point to the left headphone.  Has anyone performed any...

Falling shelf scared my dog who was laying on the wire of my Shure SRH840s which in turn broke them in half at the headband. I don't necessarily care if my new cans are open or closed. I'd prefer to stay under 250 or 200 USD but I'm willing to go up to 300 USD. Currently I'm considering the AKG...

I've been looking for headphones lately I would like some nice quality headphones that are good all around and my head is medium to big i guess but anyways i want them in the price range of 100$ to 250$ so if anyone has any suggestions please list them, thanks

Good evening Head-Fiers. I require some advice.   I just broke my HD600s. I managed to irreparably damage the driver in the right side. A silly accident and one that I regret. However, it's lead me to think about my headphone selection and, recently, I've been enjoying reading reviews...

Firstly I'm not sure where this post is suppose to go so if its in the wrong place I apologize.   So I've begun to start my dive into better audio and I've chosen my first set of what I would consider "real" headphones. I've chosen to go with the AKG K701's. I've read many reviews and it...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

I need help deciding on which headphones to pick between, so far my choices are V moda m100, or AKG q701. I mainly listen to alot of mainstream music and ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of taylor swift country to pop and a dubstepish song. Im spending around 300ish any good choices, also any headphones...

Hello all, I'm new to posting on Head-fi. I recently bought the K701, serial # 84k range, and they are mostly broken in, as the metallic highs have faded almost completely. I am running them through an O2 and ODAC playing ALAC files from my macbook pro and I am very happy with the way they...

Hello, I'm still relatively new to the community, as evidenced by my postcount. I've only recently gotten my first set of cans, a neutral and uncolored open-ear set with a very flat frequency response graph. It's a fairly highly regarded set on these forums, and I can see why: all sounds that...

Hey :)     I am looking for a new pair of headphones. They need to be under 525 dollars (353 GBP)   I am going to use the headphones for pretty much everything. Gaming, music at home, music from iPhone, skyping, movies... everything.   They need to have/be the following:  ...

These aren't glam shots by any stretch of the imagination. The lack of daylight forced use of flash, and quite simply I didn't want to be arsed to find a decent backdrop... I figured given the general lack of detailed pictures of them it was better to get something up than waste time waiting for...

Introductory stuff ... Since I have the pleasure of welcoming all these headphones to my home for several days and I know how needy one feels for information when trying to decide for a pair-o-cans, I want to share some impressions with you. Sure, much has been said about K701 vs. K601, but I...

K701 #29959...Purchased new from Headroom in November of 2008...approaching approximately three thousand (3000!) hours of use so far...up until this day everything was original. As you might imagine, despite regular cleaning, things got a little dirty and beat up. As it was, the stock cable was...

i need some headfi opinions. i would like to have the ultimate portable set up but one that is truly super portable. Price range for entire setup 1500-2500.   constraints: 1. no open back phones - IEMs or closed only; must not disturb those around me. 2. no amp, i want this set up to be...

What would you guys consider a relaxing headphone? A DT880 relaxing? No? 

I just bought and tried my K701's, and this is coming from a guy who's been listening ONLY westone earphones for the past 6 months.   I'm running on cheap xonar dg soundcard with amp, listening to classical (erik satie), stuff like audio machine and two steps from hell and phillip glass and...

I'm here for vacation for a couple of weeks and I just want to look around to check out the prices in Hong Kong. I'm living in TST so places close to TST would be a plus but I am willing to travel to other places as well. Thanks.

I'd like to have some recommendations for an USB DAC. I am going to use one together with a Talisman Audio T-33H amplifier and a K701; source is the computer. I listen mainly to soft music. Female voice and piano are most important, else I don't have any specific perception of how it should...
