The dubstep during the ending credits sounds amazing, too. Awesome share!

Any downsides to the bass port mod?  I just got my K7xxs so I want to enjoy them as is for a bit but I am interested.

Oh man, that vid is awesome with the port mod. WOW!

I wonder too. I have to believe that they covered that vent for a reason. It could be signature tuning or even power handling and distortion control. It is certainly part of the design. So far I have just listened for a couple of hours. I now have had them running for about 30 hours. I think by the weekend I can sit and do some serious listening. It would be real interesting to get someone with the proper gear to run some FR tests with the port closed and with it open.
 
With limited time on these, I can just say that I put them on and liked what I heard very much.
 
I have been listening pretty much exclusively to the HE 560 for about three weeks. Often when one changes headphones it takes a while to adjust. I didn't find this to be the case with the KXX. They don't have the resolution of the 560, but the signature is quite close to what I like for a pleasant listening experience. I definitely will say that they were very much worth the price that I paid.
 
For now I have just been listening through the headphone out of my NFB 11. I will play with some other sources and amps as I have time.

Awesome.  I am using these out of an O2/ODAC and have been enjoying them very much. I was using the HD598 previously and the bass alone has made watching tv/movies very enjoyable.  I am looking forward to spending more time listening to these headphones.

Have you had any other K7/Q7 AKG and done the port mod on those? If so you will know what to expect. I haven't noticed any downside yet and my music taste is mostly R&B, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Acoustic and some Indie.
 
Couple that with movies from SciFi to action.

Unfortunately no.  I am pretty new into the audio scene and this is my first AKG.

I haven't noticed any downside yet either, but it's only been a couple days. I listen to all kinds of music and movies. That said, as you are new to headfi I would not mod the k7xx just yet as it voids your warranty. Get more experience with the sound profile you like and then you can start messing around with this kind of stuff. Before modding I would recommend getting a good dac and tube amp and then doing some tube rolling to see different sound profiles.

I'm enjoying my first pair so much I decided to join this last drop.

I think that once enough people have discovered what an insanely good $200 can this is they will wish they got one. I bet the price goes up once this last run of 1st edition is over....

Looks like there is another drop going on now.

 

[Bostonears]

I just copped this cable for my K7XX. Only $14.22 USD for the cable!

It's shorter than the stock cable, the adapters look premium, and It's going to look awesome on my K7XX.

I bought one of those same cables. The build quality is very nice, but the sound quality is a noticeable step down from the stock cable.

 

[rudyae86]

I'm loving my first pair. I'm still deciding if I should get another or wait down the road for another refresh....?

Just joined the drop. Really stoked that the remaining units are on MassDrop again. Just have to be patient for the two weeks or so before they arrive. Sheesh!
