Hey guys, need advice...
I wanna try the K701s but I might need to trade my HD600s for it...I love HD600s : [ .
I want to try the K701s with my Milett....for gaming

Is it worth it?

I'd suggest you keep them until you've had a chance to test the HD600. Perhaps you could go to a local Head-Fi meet and try a pair there?

Why not sell some of the other cans in your sig if you like the sens the best? I bet you could raise the cash for a pair of akg from those

Well, to be honest I think the Dt990s are better for gaming than hd600s. So much sound stage, you know? Also, I already tested out the HD600s nicely!

Well you could sell the hd555 becasue you have the hd600 which probably has the edge over them.

And then these options I can think of:
1: Find a meet you can go to
2: Try to find someone who is willing to loan/have a mini meet with you and owns k701
3: Wait a little while for enough money to purchase (if you get lucky you can find it sub 300 if not around 250)
4: Loan it from headroom, try it out, if it sounds good right away keep it and sell your other headphones, if it doesn't please you right away burn it for a week or so then try, sell the ones you enjoy the least or return k701

These are all great suggestions by MusicallySilent. Also the AKG701s have a bigger soundstage than the HD600. I have both, but I don't play games with them and I would say they are different cans, but both are great. Good luck to you

You guys rock. Honestly. Even when no music is pouring through the most immaculate head-ornaments on top of your domes. Props!
However, games require bass, you know so the footprints can come through nice and punchy. I doubt K701 can be better than dt990 in this sense.

You've got that right. I'll definitely prefer the DT990 over the K701 for gaming. And the HUGE soundstage of the K701 can be somewhat a bad thing for fps games like CS. You might hear footsteps from the whole map lol.
