I recently got the AKG Q701 Black, and was surprised how much more transparent and spacious they sound compared to the DT 990, particularly for acoustic and classical music. I was not expecting this much of a difference. The DT 990s have been relegated to movie watching/rock only because they add extra weight to the mid-range which works well albeit with some loss of detail. The AKGs sound too cold and analytical for movies at times. I am running both from the Nuforce udac, which can drive both to sufficient volume. The AKGs are harder to drive so I was expecting them to sound worse than the DT 990s with this cheap setup, but was pleasantly surprised that was not the case.
