How is the 712s sense of air compared to the Q701? Compared to my Annie's my Qs give a greater sense of pure air atmosphere where as the Annie's sound more congested and more like a closed in space. How does the 712 fit in? After comparing my 65th Annie's to my HD650 I can't see how the Senns...

Quite a few People at the office have the same opinion. We literally test headphones all day and I'd say about 75% were disappointed. Has anyone hooked up the TH600? Guessing they sound identical to the D7000.

Never got the hype for the 1540. The soundstage is very narrow although the thin sound gives it an airy appearance. I prefer my 770 for closed back gaming, much larger stage and accuracy. I'm hoping to do some pad rolling on my 1540 to thicken the sound a bit, but I want to try get the stage larger.

How do these compare to the HD650? The HD650 are so lush and haunting in the vocals I love them.

Really want to try these. I offered some dude my AKG 65th Annie's and Q701 for his 712 but don't think he's interested. I need these Haha.

Sounds good, how would you describe its sound?

After an amp with a warm lush sound for my HD650 will the Vali do?

As above I like warmth. My current Little Dot MKII is a bit too bright for me.

I sold mine to fund for other gear. I got mine from Amazon. I thought the DT770 trump them for stage personally, I've never found a closed phone to match the 770 stage though, I definitely find them superior. Honestly I think the people that dislike them were expecting the D2k-D7k because...

That's your opinion. Many here like them. Tell me what's actually better at 150 apart from the DT770.

The Mad Dogs are pretty good. They don't have great separation though and a cramped stage. The design of the T50RP has a lot of restrictions. The thing with the Mad Dog is that it has taken a lot to get it to perform the way it does now, the D600 and D7100 are instantly good headphones. I...

DT770s! They beat the M50 in every single area. Have owned all the V Moda headphones they are junk especially the M100! Someone mentioned the Yamaha Pro 500 these are excellent.

Wrong headphone for gaming. No soundstage and thin mids. Look into something that has a more dynamic soundstage with nice lush mids and a full low end. A900x DT770

It's not just the treble it's the congestion. They literally have no soundstage. My DT770 just beat them in every area and they are £60 cheaper here.

I tried to get at the cups by removing the screws but I think it's impossible without damaging the phones.

I'm bulletproof nothing to loose ;) Haha they are so sexy though. I might see if I can mod them.

Had the Blue and brown version for a week. Love the colour! so sexy and stylish! When it comes to the sound, these sound horrible like the old M50. balacned but sharp treble and loose bass! Mids are just a tad behinde the other two. Compared to my Cheaper 770 there is no comparison the beyers...

Are the K702 65th Annie worth getting instead of the Q701 for gaming? I own the already. I play open word games and fps so I like immersive and spacious headphones that are nice and textured.

HD650... Why? because it's been around for years, has the most lush, seductive sound out of any headphone south of the LCD2. It is Hifi but priced the same as midfi headphones. It's still a big seller and it's not terribly difficult to drive so you don't need to go into debt!! Look at teh...

Just wondering if it's worth hanging on to them for a while.

I traded my W1000x for the HE400. The W1000x just ended up being too bright for me. The mids were very good and that was a big reason for getting them. They just pierced my ears and it was hard to listen. Comparison wise, just totally different signatures, the HE400 sounds a bit smoothies and...

There are so many good headphones out there why waste it on those two. The momentum are awful, so congested with no dynamics.the 598 are thin, boring with no engagement. Look into HD650 Denon D2000 Beyerdynamic DT770 HE400

Get the Q701. Not hard to drive at all, out of a simple E6 it does fine but gets better with better gear.

I didn't find any of the headphones mentioned apart from the LCD2 too be close. I've not heard the HE500 though. The 650 just have such magical mids and vocals to my ears, I know it's preference but nothing has come close. They are soooo haunting and I love that about them, not one hint of...

Do you only read the bits that look bad to you. I like them as much as the 770 but feel they are overpriced. I obviously like things about them, I think they make a good traveling headphone for long journeys. Stop taking everything as negative and man up and accept that not everyone has to give...
