AKG K-701 🫠cand am ascultat prima data casti deschise m-am indragostit am lucrat la un studio care avea ozn-ul asta AKG K-812 dar e putin peste bugetul meu

If you want active noise cancelling the selection is much smaller. As for the whole audiophile thing I used to have a pair of Audio Technica A900 and they were noticeably better than my Sony wh1000 which are aimed at different people but not exactly low end. The difference only came out in certain h

She's wearing the AKG K 701, if anyone wonders! Another fitting screenshot from my K-On folder Notice there is a "K" in the model name... Those headphones weren't chosen randomly. I already used those very headphones, I found the sound is not as good as my Marshall Monitor (original wired version) h

Thanks so much. Yes, the audeze are wonderful, I am using them almost daily and they have a good balance between „boom“ and clarity imho (had the akg 701 first, which might be a great utility but it made no fun using them haha). Thanks for the recommendation on the hifiman, will definitely consider

True, a/d/s isn't in the league with the rest. Top Focal and several levels of Marten are, and even Magnepan's top offerings. Also love electrostatic headphones. Enjoyed Stax SR-44 for years in the 70s and early 80s, but that model is equaled or bested by AKG 701 (and it's not electrostatic).

Teria de transportar o fone 2x por mês em transporte público pra mim já é um rule out do 400se. Pra praticidade o disco é mais negócio dito isso, eu não iria em nenhum desses. Akg k361/371 como closed portátil, como open já que você tem um budget maior pro kuba que o 400se, akg k612/701. Preço novo

The 900 Pro X are very comfortable but they're also a wonky bright tune like most Beyerdynamics: bright but also deeply lacking in sub bass. If you're going to buy a headphone that needs EQ, I'd pick one that requires less (and particularly one that just needs a bass shelf instead of having to apply

This is true in my experience. It explains why my AKG 701 easily out performed my Stax SR-44 electro stats. (And both beat my Sennheiser 660, apple earbuds, and a bunch of other earbuds I have. Just DYI.)
