I just found all you remarkable 'headphone guys' here. I'm considering the purchase of the AKG K601s, as I recently sold my DT990s. The DT990s to me are accurate and quite comfortable but still somewhat bright and forward with even the best electronics, leading to fatigue after extended listening. I am VERY sensitive to highs, and as a former loudspeaker designer, I often sweated over fractions of a dB in the design to optimize (match) crossover networks for tweeters in a system. I like accurate and neutral, of course, with superb imaging. I'd now desire "sweet and silky" instead of "bright and in-your face." I also wonder if the K601 will be better (higher efficiency) when used with portable electronics than my Beyerdynamics. Is the the K601 comfortable? As an engineer, I understand specs quite well and have test equipment to measure, but specs don't tell the whole story as you know! It's all about enjoying the music...
So what do you think?
