does something like this actually exist? I love the grado sound but need something isolating and portable. IEMs would be the best for me because it would be something I could easily pakc up and take with me when I leave - I do a lot of LANning for various games, and unfortunately some people who...

Introduction: I once asked for a quantitative description of heaphones headstage width, but kind of did not get the anwser. So after doing some investment (those HD800 don't come cheap!), I found the anwser on my own (those are my subjective values, so you will not feel that wasy, and I...

Most of my Music Files I have turned into AIFF (CD Quality) Files. Right now I own the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's. Love the sound quality from those but was curious if I was missing anything, from lets say the DT990'S or the fairly new 3-D Printed Mr Speakers Mad Dogs I am considering...

1. If you buy a $30 headphone and plug it into a good headphone amp, does it make a good quality sound as if it was a $60 headphone? 2. Does this only increase the sound and bass or does it improve the sound quality? 3.Should every one use an amp if they want quality sound

Hello all.  This is my first post so bear with me.  I caught the audiophile bug a while ago but im still pretty new to the hobby.  Im looking into getting my third pair of (noteworthy) headphones.  Im up in the air between the sennheiser  hd650s, the AKG k701s, and the beyerdynamic dt880s.  I...

I just want to say NEVER in my life have I seen two headphones under go such a dramatic improvement in my life! My AKG K701's have about 350 hours of burn-in, and my 880's have about 450 hours. I haven't listened to them all that much until today, and I am shocked and very pleasantly...

Basically it's good for all genres (or just the ones you listen to) But It's not the best out there for particular genres.   Senn 558's nail it pretty well in my mind, but upgrading soon.

Am thinking about "moving up" to an Audeze LCD-2 from an AKG 701.  Is it worth the extra $700?  Or should I put it into tubes?  Any and all opinions are appreciated....

Right now, I am powering my well-broken-in K702s with a Headroom MicroAmp. I'm pretty satisfied with the sound (but the bass extension seems limited) and the comfort of the headphones, which I use only for classical music. I've read some good reviews of the Burson amp. If you have heard the K702...

HI,   I'm planning on buying AKG Q701, but there's AKG K701 on the side. I'm confused, in my country they cost the same, but people are saying that the Q701 sounds more warmer, and that it causes the sound stage to be slightly smaller, and the Q701 won't have as much detail as the AKG K701...

Do they basically have the same sound signature - ie. weak bass and sharp treble?   If they differ - how do they differ?   Which has weaker/stronger bass/mids/treble - and is it different enough to consider them a different presentation?

I had a pair of AKG 701's modded by Moon-Audio. Drew set them up with a Black Dragon Cable...bypassing the headband trace AKG uses...He brought a wire to each driver as AKG should have. I was concerned about the weight of the cable making the cans seem heavy...but they seem more comfortable now...

Hi all. I'm an ex-headfier who's coming back to the game. The itch have returned and I now must get a new set of headphones. My musical background is mainly rock - guitar driven music, from old school rock n' roll, alternative, progressive and heavy metal.   Now for the technical part. My...

I dont have a computer right now just an ipad.      Do i need to have the usb plugged into the e9? And im not ordering the e17.   Or can I just power it from the ac adapter and plug my ipad into it and use my cans?(akg k701)    On a low budget so can't change headphones. Would prefer...

I suppose a lot of post are talking about it. But on my case, I just want an amp according to this 2 headphones. After reading as much as I could, my final resulta are this: AUDIO GD 28 ( combo dac+amp) ... Too expensive MF V3 ( i cand find it quite cheap , used) Mf V8 , I can not find it right...

A question I have wanted to ask for a while but never got around to it. I am primarily an audio engineer so I don't really have an abundance of flagship headphones, but what I have noticed with the headphones that I do have, is that I cannot tell any difference between plugging right into my...

I won't have the opportunity to listen to these headphones before I will buy them, so wich should I choose for non-rock music?And why?

I've read somewhere that if you have something like HD650s then there's no need for something like Dolby Headphone, and I'd like to get opinions on that from here. Judging from the impressions on smyth virtual surround, I'm guessing simply having a great sound stage doesn't replace good...

Especially I would be interested in akg701 or HD800, or some other which have spectacular scene   What I mean is:  headphones play in you head, and the (general) soundstage seem to be limited to your skull (bone structure), with open headphones reaching  few (3-5) centemeters out of the...

Ok so I’ve had my Bryston BHA-1 all of 3 weeks and resurrected my life as a semi-serious head-fier after a hiatus of 5 years or so. Spending hours with my past collection of phones; those being the AKG K501s, AKG701s (balanced), Senn HD 580s (600 grills w/ nylon mesh mod, balanced) and Grado...

http://www.filedropper.com/akgk702   If you have Foobar2000, and a pair of k701's or k702's, just drop this config into the default equalizer in foobar2000, share opinions and comments.   Thank you,   Dan.

I currently have a pair of K701 which I run straight from the HP-output on my Xonar Essence ST and for the most part it sounds amazing, but sometimes I feel that the sound is a bit too bright and also lacking a bit of bass impact. Of course this could also partly be because the headphones...

I am trying to decide whether to get the lyr or the valhalla for my akg k701's. I have read that the lyr pairs well with it, and I have also heard good things about the valhalla. Does anyone have any first hand experience comparing the two?

Hey guys I'm new to this site and I couldn't find a thread (even google'd) about a comparison of these three headphones. I listen mostly to trance, rock (alt and metal) and chillout music. I'm somewhat bass heavy but then again I also don't want to listen to rock music where the electric guitar...
