Both will be within my budget, but I only have a fiio e06 driver and don't plan on getting another. Are either pair outdated or less reputable? Thanks!

Hello,   I am your typical newbie who does not know much about amps in general. So I have researching, asking questions, etc... on here and other forums for advice. So here is my dilemma:   I currently have a pair of DT-990s 250 Ohm Pro that I use for gaming/movies. Now I am interested in...

Hi everyone,   What would be the best upgrade to AKG Q 701s? I want a good all-rounder, something that can sound great with all genres. I was thinking of Beyerdynamic T1 but some say it's not much of an upgrade over Q701, despite the massive price difference. I don't want neither very...

Can someone answer me quickly, i have to order the headphones today.

So im lookin gto spend around 200.   The ATH-AD900X vs AKG Q 701 which one is better? Unless there is another i missed?

I am looking to upgrade to a quality pair of headphones with a price range of $150-225, and I have been looking at the AKG q701, Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, and the Sennheiser HD598. I will mainly be wearing these in my home (which is why open headphones would be fine). I am coming from a pair of...

Hi to all ... I looking to buy a decent pair of head phone for the new year . I'm a iem user for the longest time and I think it's time for me to get an over ear head phone. I'm considering grado sr80, Beyerdynamic 770, mad dog or AKG q701 . I like my music to sound wow ( I don't like flat...

Hi guys, so I've pretty much bought the two headphones that complete my current audio phase of life.   Now as the title of the thread indicates I have the following.   i. AKG q701's - Super sale for $250(CAD) ii. Sennheisers 363D 7.1's for gaming. - Super sale $199(CAD)   Now, I've...

I have been looking for a pair of closed-back headphones with a good seal that won't disturb anyone around me or vice versa, that are comfortable enough for listening periods upwards of 2 hours, and that have a flat enough response so I can use them to create music as well as listen to it. I've...

Hey guys,   New to the site and hoping for some shopping guidance. My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I'm planning on getting myself the gift of a headphone upgrade.   My go-to cans are my ATH-M50's, but I also own a pair of chinsy on-ears for the gym and a couple dirt-cheap...

I just discovered this really cool headphone test website:   http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php   You gotta try the binaural test. The first time I tried it, I literally thought someone was knocking on my wall. ;)

 I am looking to add another pair of headphones to my collection. Coming from Akg/Sennheiser what other headphones can people recommend. I was thinking Beyerdynamic dt 880 or something like that. I like open headphones only, and prefer clean neutral sound. I currently own a pair of AKG Q701 and...

I've owned a pair of Sennheiser HD650s before which I liked very much with some boosting on the EQ around 80-160hz and 9-15khz, though they broke after 2 years and £250 is way too much for me to spend on replacing something I need.   I currently own a pair of Sony MDR-7506's which are the best...

First off HELLO!!,      I'm pretty excited about my first post and hope to get some help with my first "good" headphone and soundcard pairing for a gaming computer.  I've gone through Mad Lust Envy's guide and picked the AKG-Q701's because they look sexy and the soundstage is "godlike"? LOL. Oh...

Howdy y'all.   A little background: I'm helping out my brother in replacing his recently broken 7 year-old or so Turtle Beach 5.1 headset. He's been borrowing my Sennhesier PC163D's, and really likes the detail level but wants more bass extension.   For gaming, I see that open-back designs...

Alright, I've learned my lesson. I jumped on a set of Razor Tiamat 7.1's for $200 and quickly noticed the audio and bass clarity were not near what I was hoping. So I actually sat down and started doing some research, and I think I've hit a snag in some info that hasn't been quite discussed...

So the title kinda explains itself.    Might just chuck in soundstage in there as well while you think about what they are.   Anyways, I own the Q701 and also the HM5, and apparently they're pretty flat and neutral. But some say that the Q701 has a huge soundstage that's un-naatural and...

Hey everyone! So I've been listening to my Q701's for a short time now... (200+ hours) and I am just frustrated by the bumps on the headband. I can wear them for three to four hour sessions max and then the pain becomes unbearable! (It is only the top/center bump that pains me) I love these...

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...

So a little over a month ago my Austria made q701's broke.  One side stopped working all together and instead of going through the hassle of fixing it or possibly braking it I sent it in for warranty since it was within the 2 year period.  Well once that was taken care of I waited for about 2...

Hi, I'm curious what other people think are the best headphones for watching movies and why?  Price is no object.  If your answer depends on your amp, please list the amp as well.

I bought three pairs of headphones here on head-fi to see which one I liked best and I planned on selling the two I liked least. I got the HD600, HD650, and AKG Q701. I like the sound of the Q701 the best. The HD600 and HD650 have somewhat of a veiled sound, but the Q701 sounds clearer and...

I'm looking at getting a good audio setup on my PC. I've ordered a Creative Soundblaster Z (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/creative-sound-blaster-z-pci-express-ultra-high-performance-sound-card-51ch-optical-in-out)   and I'm thinking of pairing it with AKG Q701s...

Hello everyone, this is my first post so bare with me.   I'm an avid gamer, but I would rate my usage as 50% gaming & 50% music, this is all hardcore amateur-professional level competitive gaming.   As you can imagine, being the idiot that I am for years I have been going through 'headsets'...

Hi everyone, I just bought my AKG Q701 and have been looking for tube amp to leverage my gear to fully potential. My budget is not flat and I focus on two affortable tube amps: Little Dot I+ and Bravo Audio Ocean. Does anybody know which tube amp is better and which one I should go with? Any...
