  I would like to give props to the AKG marketing staff though. Back when the episode aired, the 701 was selling for 74,900 yen (~US$750) or more: genius marketing in place! If other audiophile companies did this (especially Sony with their convenient Japanese origins) I bet sales would skyrocket.

That's what some otaku would to do get their hands on 'celebrity'-endorsed goods

Isn't he from Monstercat?

Not that I know of, unless his name comes up in this:

From the interview:
 
"Originally Misterwives had three members—Mandy, Etienne and William but in the last few months they have adopted three additional members—Marc, Murph and Dr. Blum."

That's awesome. Though I can't understand a thing on that box, I'm willing to bet that there's something along the lines of "as seen on K-ON" on that box somewhere. 
 
Meh, I'd rather get the Q701. They say it's (slightly) bassier and takes a step back from "God-Mode" (says MLE).

Plenty of lower grade kids wearing Beats Studios and one with the Beats Mixrs. (Their parent's pockets must be hurting) A pair of N-Tunes, a Bose QC15 and, to my surprise, a pair of B&W P7 o.o

Meant "lower grade" as in middle schoolers (lol), since I'm in my last year of high school.

I actually knew what you meant, but was the w/ the P7 a middle-schooler too? Just sayin'.
Know a fellow high schooler (junior I think) who has an MDR-7506...which I recommended to him. Later, his younger brother bought a Sennheiser HD201. 
Successful conversion since he used to have PowerBeats (whcih are now broken with a busted left driver, XD).

I've never actually tried any of the AKG cans before because they've never really caught my eye, but seeing how people would buy it at such a mark-up just for the endorsement factor made me blanch a little

I got what you meant after posting xD The P7 was indeed a Junior, and I've put my grain of sand by recommending a lot of Koss PortaPros as well.
