Hi everyone,
I don't know if there are many people who like the SA5k over the HD650, but if there are, I was wondering if I could get some tips. So basically, I currently own the HD650 and the SA5k. My mom uses the HD650 back at home, and I'm parting with my current SA5k pretty soon (don't ask
). So that leaves me with no headphone at college.
I've never heard the K701, but I've begun considering it.
I personally don't like the HD650's dark signature and the "veil" doesn't work too well with my most of my music. (It works great with classical, but not so great with industrial, rock such as Tool, pop and electronic stuff.) Yeah, it's probably weird, but I think the SA5k sounds quite good. I'm planning on buying a PPX3 in December since one of my friends back home gave me a chance to listen to one with my SA5k and HD650, and it was great. Anyways, I was wondering if somone who likes the brutal speed and tight punch of the SA5k (and strangely, I have never understood people saying the SA5k has no bass. They have a great deal with some setups.) and has heard the K701 could give me some insight. Hmm, to rebuy the SA5k or to buy the K701. Blah.
On a totally off topic note, I listened to the AD2000 over at my friend's room today. Gah, it's great.
Not as much bass or speed as the SA5k, but very smooth and delicate.
Thanks and cheers,
Venio
