Did i say K601 was the poor man's K701? Its basically the same class of phones, but then the sound is a bit different.
Also... consider this: The highest end (right now) is 250$ and its K701... why wouldn't u drop 50$ more to get it rather than K601, aside from the "marginally better" sound.
I mean, okay, its all personal opinion... but If I'm gonna pull 200$ out for a pair of higher end headphones, why wouldnt i take out 50$ for the current highest end of AKG. Especially if I don't really want to do any more upgrading, and that I will be satisfied with it. If you look at it "bargin" wise... I would say its better bargin.
but of course, tats just me, if ur satisfied with ur K601 or Kw/e... then go ahead, get that instead.

I don't see the K601 as a poor man's K701, which is what you seem to be suggesting. It's a different, and different sounding, headphone altogether. |
