I bought my beautiful and amazing k701s new (but then again, I don't buy used cans) and it's been a love affair since I hit the 800-ish hour marker.

Brand new....they hurt my eardrums---no other can changed so much during burn in. These are like fine wine....yadda yadda
*peace*

another bump in an attempt to keep this poll on the 1st page.

Bought a K701 new at a Guitar Center store...2 (

) years ago for $380.

Sold it a long time ago though; its sound, build, and looks just weren't for me.

I haven't bought 701's yet and really don't know how I'll decide if I had the cash

 

[Insanity]

dang, now i fully understand why head-fi has a reputation for destroying wallets.

I just ordered hfi-780's a few days back and they haven't even arrived yet. But after seeing more and more about the K701, i'm seriously itching to get a pair to complement my Ultrasones. They sure do look beautiful.

i bought them new, serial° 16981. Great deal.. and after 6 months the thin pieces of transparent plastic are breaking off. Have to send them back for reimbursment or exchange.

Purchased Six months ago, Hmmmm... Methinks you don't understand how most warranties work.

They may replace the headphones (I'm not sure what parts are falling off) but after six months there is no way AKG is going to reimburse you. Since you wrote "send them back for reimbursment or exchange." One can only assume that you believe that reimbursement is part of normal warranty coverage.

They are obviously covered under warranty, but the warranty does not offer a reimbursement option. Hence my jokingly writing my comment. Or do you think that people are serious when they write "Methinks"?

NEW. From our very own TTVJ.

What you say about AKG's warranty might be true , but i'm talking about the retailer's warranty. They are obviously covered under warranty, but the warranty does not offer a reimbursement option. Hence my jokingly writing my comment. Or do you think that people are serious when they write "Methinks"? English is not my native language, and i thought you forgot the space between "me" and "thinks".

cheers

Ahaa... If Belgium has retailers that offer a refund after six months I obviously live in the wrong country. In the US normally the longest we have for a refund is 30 Days.

Except for a chain of stores called Payless. I once saw them issue a refund for a pair of shoes that had obviously been worn for at least six months. After the fact the manager and I laughed at it. He said that it was company policy, then he tossed the shoes into the trash.
