I really like my 701s as they are, so I am not going to do this.
Maybe it is the thousands of hours they have been used/burned-in, but mine have great bass and wonderful balance! (IMO)

But thanks for the modding info, which I will file for future reference.

Heh, sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything. I was playing on the words. But yes, you're right they are the same thing so it doesn't really matter which way.

Ok, so I have now taken off one piece of tape from both drivers, but now there's no sound coming from the right one, so I guess I accidentaly cut off a cable or something. I'm not really freaking out or anything, it's just such a pain to open and close them!

This is not something that Joe Sixpack should attempt . . . . especially after a six-pack

Seriously though, the AKG is not that easy to disassemble compared to some other cans. Be forewarned there is risk involved here.

I opened it again and the problem is obvious. I managed to crush a cable that's supposed to transmit audio from the left ear to the right under the headband. The cable is completely crushed, but with a little help from my handy dad I'm sure we'll replace it no problem.

EDIT: Well my dad said "It's about time you learned how to solder", so he said what I had to do and went to sleep. Now I'm letting the newly soldered cable cool off, so let's hope it works now!

EDIT2: Aw, it still doesn't work. It seems that some wire is still loose, because for a second it did work and there sure was more bass now with the mod.

 

[dcpoor]

man, you don't learn and try first time soldering on k701's...

 

[TheManko]

Haha, the solder seems to have gone just fine, because now that I'm paying more attention I noticed that the cable I soldered was one that couldn't have been causing the problems because it runs right to the left driver. So since it's still not working I guess I'll have to resolder all of the cables running to the right driver in the left one and all the ones in the right driver.

I ruined once a K-400 while trying to replace elastics. Broke some wires too.
But I have a son who can solder

Still sure that I won't do this mod. It would be the end of my AKG, clumsy as I am....

 

[TheManko]

There's nothing obviously wrong with any of the soldered ends of the internal wires, so I guess I should just replace them entirely instead of just doing new soldered ends. Those wires are very thin, so I could see them breaking internally if I got them in nasty angles when I was messing around before. Note that I'm something of a moron, so please tell me if that's unlikely.

Anyway, I'll wait until tomorrow before I start messing around again. I might have to buy new cables, because the speaker wires I have might not fit in there.

It is a strange mod. K701....no need to improve the sound.

Thank you very much for your discovery!
Unluckily(for you) this is not a discussion thread if k701 need to improve sound or not.

 

[PDOT]

As for first post.
QQQ,

Ah, no problem. I help you to understand:
K601 has such frequency response.

K701 has a little more of bass. It is very good. Why do you want to change it? Do you have any ideas to do k701 а little better? How to change total harmonic distortion? Аh?

 

[QQQ]

This is not a discussion thread. I don't force you or anybody to do anything. If you like k701, great, i really feel good about it.

QQQ,
о.к. I will not write here.
