I'm located in Mt. Zion, IL and own a pair of K701's so you would be more than welcome to try em out

double post...

I can't do it as I sent my headphones for a trade and the guy (echnaton) nolonger wants to answer my mail and empty his pm box, thus I don't even know if he received it and I still don't see anything come to my house...

 

[Salt Peanuts]

This is rather easy as I only have two set of cans now.

1. K1000
2. K701

K701
DT770-80
SR225

I also own KSC75's that I prefer between the DT770's and SR225's but maybe I'm just blinded by the amazing performance/price ratio

Have some UM2's on the way to throw into the mix.
