Hey Guys,
I bought these babies on a review by i think Asr. In any case, i am in shock how good these things sound. I am quickly falling in-love...
I have a pair of AKG 701s for comparison. Right off the bat i could tell there was less detail than what the 701s provide. This didnt bother me as i wasnt expecting a lower-end headphone to outshine the 701s.
Albeit it bright sounding to me, i think vocals and the midrange sound very nice and smooth. The one thing i really like is the tight bass that you know is there, unlike the 701s. Im looking for a next headphone down the road and i know there is an audiocubes store coming to NYC which, if they have similiar stock to what they have online - could easily seal the deal for me instead of taking a $400+ plunge into the unknown based on other's reviews.
Before i get too carried away with this post and more importantly onto my question. For those who have the ES7s and or any A-T phone, what headphones provide this same tight base in the A-T line but has more detail characteristics similiar to the the AKG 701? Price not an issue.
All-in-all i am very pleased and satisfied with these phones. I think they are very engaging vs the 701s and could very well take over normal music duties. A very fun headphone and something i didnt experience with the 701s.
