Ugly little fellow but if it sounds the way I imagine, I'd wear it.

The soundstage on the T1s is great -- very spacious and natural-sounding. However, like Palpatine said, the T1s are narrowER than the K701s, but they are by no means narrow.

It's been a while since I listened to a pair of HD650s, but from what I remember I can say that the T1s might be the closest thing to the lovechild you describe. They don't have quite the soundstage width of the K701s, but they have similar clarity and in my opinion even more detail in the middle frequencies. There is also significantly more bass than the K701s, and it is more impactful. And from what I remember about the HD650s, the T1s' bass is MUCH tighter.

That would be pretty awesome. Hopefully that love child would get most of its looks from the LA7000s

True that, hands down the most beautiful headphones I've seen.

And with the HD800 cable entry method using a DHC Complement.

We can only dream...

The T1 sounds very promising.
I was just reading a review about the GS1000i and it also sounds very much like it has the clarity of the K701 with a more extensive bass range. Can you offer any comparison between the GS1000i and T1?

That would be the jh13pro. IEM lovechild.

Sadly I doubt the JH13 Pro can come anywhere near the LA7000 bass impact (most likely depth/detail though), which is a big selling point. They're also IEMs, and I can't STAND IEMs comfort-wise.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the DT990.

Ditto that. Read that a couple times now i believe. In terms of sound signiature anyways

Any offspring of the K-701 would likely have an extra chromosome or something.

That headphone ain't right.

obviously the K701, given her "high pitched whining" whereas the HD-650 is slow, fat, and lazy dude like me

 

[MarkJnK]

Tell me more about the DT990... how it fits into the scenario?

Any other suggestions? Nobody is suggesting any Grados?

 

[nhancakes]

Isn't there a compromise between neutral and "fun"? Can't be both can it?
