I have been trying to avoid the 701 banwagon but have had people with my same tastes vouche for them. I have the K1000s and love the sound (if that's AKG sound I like it... a lot). I also have the Grado RS-1, and Senn 600/Cardas.
My RS-1 and K1000 will remain no matter what - they have a magic quality (K1000's even moreso) that can't really be replaced.
But the Senns serve as a good all-a-rounder, Nuetral, etc. for when I put my audiophile hat on and get all analytical. Looking for balance and accuracy. Or is the DT880 (new version) possibly worth waiting for?
The 701's would replace the Senns. My concern is that I've heard that they sound thin. Don't like that. And lack bass. Don't like that either. Or are they just about the same as the 600/cardas which makes getting them not worth it?
