I've heard it a few times before but can't find a definition.

People say that the AKG K701 headphone lacks bass, but the reason is because they are not using the right amp. This headphone needs a lot of power, and will impress you with her might when you make her happy. Many people who have heard a balanced amp never go back to the single-ended version...

Hey there. It's been 4 years with my K701, and I really love those headphones. I had to listen to vary selection of headphones but something always brings me back to my beloved K701 sound. All this time I've been driving my K701 from Xonar STX amp input (stock op-amps, extra-high gain, hi-fi...

So it has come down to GradoLabs  SR325i VS Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium VS Sennheiser HD650 (I'm getting HD800 later this year so I wanna avoid these for now) VS Hifiman 400 VS Sony MDR-7520 VS AKG A-701  They are all in my budget which is under 400. Could someone point me to ones you think...

Every time I check into this forum, I find more and more threads recommending portable amps for headphones like the K701 and the HD650. What? I have not heard every portable amp out there, but I've owned and heard quite a few and currently own a LaRocco PRII, an SR-71 and a Rockhopper mini^3...

Here's the criteria:   -$100-$200 -Soft/Lightweight and very comfortable (my mom has headaches, so "clamping" headphones are out) -Closed (little sound leakage as possible that can also block out external sound) -Mostly for TV/Movie watching -Small "back" (she sits in a rocking chair and...

I was very eager to pick up my um miracle this morning...........but after a few hrs testing it out i realized i picked the wrong sound-signature,it doesnt do me any satisfaction like my beloved ety er4s im going to put it on sale to fund another CIEM,i really dont wanna make the same...

This review compares three great headphones with an excellent 3-way, floor standing speaker system. During all of the review the headphones were driven by my stock Woo Audio WA6 that has between 200 and 300 hours on it. The speakers were driven by a 300 watt (into 4 ohms) Conrad Johnson CA200...

I'm looking to buy a pair of open backed cans probably around 150 with a bit of leeway for price.  I'd like to be able to use them on a laptop so preferably no amp necessary.  I also would like them to be pretty comfortable ( I have the Brainwavz HM5 and I can wear them for hours).  Any...

I often hear people here say that they prefer to just have one headphone as their ultimate choice. I just could never relate to this idea. All phones bring different things to the table sonically (and even comfort-wise). All phones have their strengths and weaknesses, and the flagship phones...

I will add a few more frequency-response graphs published some time ago in the German magazine «Stereoplay» (1/07). As expressed in several post, they match my own sonic impressions better than the HeadRoom graphs (which show a uniform «distortion» throughout the product palette)...

Recently I have become more and more interested in the AKG lines. One thing that bugs me is that many of their products are very close to each other, K501, K601, K701, Q701, K702, K202 anni and you name it. If budget is not an issue the K812 is clear choice. I have about $200-300 for the AKG and...

I sent my K701s down to fl. over two weeks ago for a rewire I was told would take 2 or 3 days... my last email was never answered and they never pickup the phone. has anyone else had this experience? is this standard? will my headphones return to me?

Hi everyone. I've had a variety of fairly high-end headphones, including the Beyerdynamic T1, AT W3000ANV, Alessandro MS-Pro, HifiMan HE500, AKG K701 and Unique Melody Miracle. All of them have good points. Some have great detail, others great energy and dynamic response, others in theory a very...

On my search for comfortable headphones, it seems that the pressure of the headband is much more bothersome than clamping pressure or anything like that. As long as the cups are soft and somewhat circamaural im ok, but almost any headphone, no matter how light (even the CAL!), I feel pressure...

Looking to grab a shorter K712 cable but was wondering if I could just look at the K701.

I bought these today because ... well because it was cheap ... But now, i can't seem to find any information on it, nothing.   The only thing i found was a dodgy spanish ebay that sold one for $700, and it's definitely not worth that much money.   It has 2 drivers, and the specs on the side...

I enjoy listening with headphones and in my house at night it's the best way to go. Here's my dilemma; the cartilage in my right ear sticks out from from my head and makes contact with the headphone. Of course after 30 minutes or so this becomes irritating to the point where the phones must come...

Hi im starting university at the end of this month and im looking for a pair of headphones that can do it all for me, i would like to use them at home and out and about, however i kinda came to conclusion that there inst really a headphone that can do that (based on my research) so id even...

I invited 3 friends over to my house to finally try out some of my gear that I've been raving about for months. This gear consisted of..... Sennheiser HD650 Sennheiser HD600 AKG K701 Beyers DT880 Pro Beyers DT770 (250 ohm) 2005 Denon D5000 Ultrasone Proline 750 Audio Technica W5000...

I've read a lot about the AKG K701 vs the AKG K702 and the AKG Q701 and I've gotten a lot of mixed answers. I ended up being equally split among the three.   My initial choice was the 701 then I read that the 702 was everything about the 701 but better. Then I read that the Q701 bested both...

Hi Eveybody, I need your help I have a set of AKG K701 and K340 cans which I drive with a WOO Audio WA6 with a Sophia Princess 274B rectifier tube. I listen to mostly Classical using both Vinyl and Digital sources. Which of the these phones whould you recommend as being the better...

I've been a happy owner of the Sennheiser Momentums (over-ear) for a while now. But I'd like something new. I mostly use them for Spotify and games, so I need something with accurate bass, nothing boomy but then again nothing cold. I've had the AKG K240, K271, K701, Audio-Technica ATH-M50 along...

Hi Everyone,   I listen to all kind of music. I am about to decide whether to get a pair of AKG-Q701 or SoundMagic HP200 or Fidelio X1. I really appreciate if you can share your experience with any of these headphones. Thank you.   KR, Jocas

Hello Guys,   I am not knowledgeable in the world of headphones, so would appreciate advise from anyone who would like to offer.   I am looking for possible combinations for a set of over the ear open backed headphones and amplifier to use at home, hooked up to Roksan Caspian cd player...
