Are you using the beliefs system again? and if you feel that you need more bass or speed, I'll highly recommend you to try some of the Ultrasone models. Here is more info: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/ult...arison-401879/

I don't care if you are even armin van buuren,k701 is not suitable for trance.

Acix,
Looking at the Original post I can now see why the k701/702 is so controversial. For the first time Ive seen that even a new non burned in pair of k702s are already smoother than a burned in k701. Mine was one of those old duds.

Looks like, we'll need more info from bhanja_trinanjan, regarding the solo violin with the 702 and to see if the upper mids are different. I guess he still doing A-B-A comparisons.

This thread is making me reconsider these cans. No matter what arguments we get into with these cans no one can win if one loves his pair and another doesn't but when someone comes along and compares them side by side and says they sound different... It Kills the war. Now everyone should stick their lighters up in the air and sing Peace

To think so many people got banned because of these flaming k701 wars and akg is secretly improving them without letting us know.

Actually I have tried my K702 with a variety of Electronic genres and the K702 did quite an admirable job. It had plenty of speed and punch and bass that extended quite deep. I have also owned the HD650 which was good but the audio spectrum sounded too skewed towards the lower frequencies. I have also tried listing to trance and similar genres with my K601 which was too light of a headphone and lacked the necessary punch for those genres. So I probably would recommend the K702 for electronic genres; you can always EQ the lower frequencies if you feel the need for a bass boost.

A few years back when I was newer to the whole headphone experience I stayed away from the AKGs which were often touted as being somewhat shrill and lacking punch. Since then I have gone through a good portion of Sennheisers line-up and got a good taste of their sound. Now having owned the K601 and currently the K702 I can say I really enjoy their sound which to me is much more lifelike. I have yet to hear a K701 and I am interested to see if it differs from my K702 (SN:07276).

If you're really curious about these cans and can afford one, I highly recommend that you try them for yourself and make up your mind.

The last thing I'd consider my K702's to be would be slow, especially when compared to the HD650's.

I bought mine in the midst of controversy and am very glad I did so. I'm finding specific problems with the K702's, but this has nothing to do with speed or the commonly sited lack of bass.

 

[donunus]

The thing that drove me nuts about my k701 is the mid treble that stuck out like a thorn. It made the sound very sterile. Because of this peak, the upper treble air and all the decay of cymbals were dried up and lost into the void. The bass wasnt too lacking in relation to the other frequencies but this humongous lower treble peak had to be eliminated somehow because with it around, the first thing you want to do is boost the bass for compensation. It was like a PA horn going on without a matching woofer.

Donunus,

This is rich!

As I remember (quite correctly) that it was you, Ole Blueyes (now rightly banned) and vvanrij were the three who were the main instigators of the flame wars over the K701. Always crashing threads about the K701 and posting negative comments about it and making personal attacks against supporters of the cans like Acix and myself.

Your conclusion about the performance of the K701 now seem to have been because you owned the ONE set of K701s which you bought off vvanrij (which I believe was purchased off Ovquist). So much for your objective POV.

Now you want to try another pair? Please save us and yourself a lot of trouble and DON'T PLEASE!
I think I speak for the forum when I say that we would prefer NOT to hear your bellyaching over the 701/702 again.

IMO, you and vvanrij should have been banned along with your leader Oleblueyes.

Oh EUREKA! who would have thought that you were capable of rational thought! Now you accept the possibilty that AKG might have made some changes along the way?

After all the trouble you and your cronies caused in all those 701 threads over the past couple of years?

Oh...and I thought you had changed...I guess it is true what they say, A leopard cannot change it's spots.

I'm just being honest about the pair I had. It is also the problem the OP has which he says is not present with the k702. I don't get your point.

My point is that you made a judgement call over your experience with ONE sample pair.

Along with your cronies you bashed everyone else on this forum that liked them. Insinuating that they were/are idiots or stupid for liking them. And it looks like you are trying to do so again.
