Today I took my "Anniversary" (can i call it that now?

) to work and was using just portable amps and sources.

 
 
If the pad fits...
 
I call my mine both "Q701" and "Anniversary" depending on which pad it is wearing.  It answers to both names when I call.

I call my K701 "Tranny" because it is so transparent :D

Are we back to the original K702?


Nope, just trying to get 100% of the Anniversary sound. Q701 with 65th pads and the q701 outer foam sounds a bit "off". Nothing terrible, but it just doesn't seem as clear.
I guess getting as close to the original Anniversary is best. The Anniversary has no grill foam.
 
I wonder how much AKG charges for the Anniversary grill? Probably $40

Obviously I'd just get K702 grills if I was actually THAT picky.
 
I honestly have to say that my ears aren't good enough to pick out every single difference with every frequency. Comparing the ODAC to Modi was hard enough.
 
Yep, it's clear the 65th has more bass and less treble. I'd like to see measurements of the 65th eventually.

Yeah, a proper measurement is what many people are waiting for...

I can't for the life of me get these damn grilles off lol. I'm afraid to break the headphones with the amount of pressure I'm putting on them.

Don't be tempted to use metal objects! I made that mistake once and damaged a grill.
Tape rarely works for some reason.
 
I know it sounds silly, but swipe some of those Priority Mail tags from the post office. Place it on the grill and rotate counter clock-wise. They are less sticky (no residue) but work well.
 
Of course re-use it when you're done because it's not really legal unless you're planning on shipping something out

As if they'd care...
