Strengths: Extremely well balanced, natural and transparent sound
Weakness: Not as comfortable as Sennheiser 600
These headphones provide a very natural , balanced and transparent sound. The superb midrange is extremely realistic . Highs glisten. The taut bass is fine. Of course the bass is not going to have impact of a speaker. These headphones have a great spacial effect. Instruments are well placed and they appear like they are outside one's head ( unlike the sound is in your head , like most headphones...
Strengths: wide open sound field clear sound
Weakness: do need a headphone pre-amp to drive open design so sound leaks
At this price range, this headphone is for serious music lover. I like the sound it produces so far. Highs are very smooth, midrange is great, and bass is well defined. The headphone is not suitable for portable use. It needs a pre-amp to drive for portable devices such as ipod or you have to crank up the volume. Plus it's an open can, the sound does leak. Therefore it's only good for home use...
Strengths: good highs and mids
Weakness: bass not that great
these are pretty good sounding for mids-highs although bass is a little lacking comfortable but slide if you move your head forward too much. sound seem slightly louder on the left thats just the way they are whatever you do dont try to send them in for service thinking that might be a problem with them what a nightmare that was. stereophile guy says these are the best cans ever but i have to...
Strengths: soundstage, mids, comfort
Weakness: long burn in time (300 hrs), bass is SLIGHTLY understated for my taste, need for a headphone amp to fully appreciate quality
still a new product for me. i let them burn in for 300 hours before use because they sound very flat out of the box. still less than 325 hours use but they sound great now. i hear they are not fully burnt in until around 1000 hours. i'm currently pushing them with a lower end headphone amp (practical devices xm3, US$130) and it does a decent job. currently shopping for a nicer amp as i hear it...
Strengths: Versatility for multiple music genres, air & openness, layer separation
Weakness: Bass may be anemic for most people, a somewhat sterile sound
Bass on the K701 is very tight, very controlled. It goes relatively deep, but loses signal strength somewhere in the 40 Hz region. It's not quite low enough for electronic music that uses low-pass sweeps and rolls, such as Massive Attack and The Crystal Method. Unlike a lot of other headphones that allow bass to "boom" and retain a sense of some flabbiness, the K701 maintains full control over...
Strengths: Daynamic contrast, top end extension, transparent voice and low end punch.
Weakness: NONE
These headphones take about 100 hours to break in. Out of the box they sound bright and lacking low end punch. After 40 hours the top end becomes smooth and open with just a shade of brightness. The low end is good with a hint of better things to come. At 120 hours you are transported into the recording studio and can hear everything that is going on there with full dynamics from the lowest lows...
Strengths: Pillow-like comfort; smooth sound with treble emphasis; nice fit (especially with small to medium size heads); solid build
Weakness: Lacks a compelling bass; larger heads may feel discomfort; some fraying with clear plastic insert material
I've heard comparable headphones, but the AKG K701 as one of my best audiophile values. There are a few factors that make these especially buyable: - This is one of the most comfortable headphones - anywhere. The pads are velour, and one can wear them without discomfort for hours, even when no music is playing. Some users with larger heads may find these less appealing, but I liked their...

AKG K701 - A Truly Superb Headphone
Strengths: Comfortable, Well built, Sound is Fantastic!
Weakness: None
I have either owned or auditioned numerous high-end headphones and the AKG K701's are the best overall so far. The balance is perfect. No overbearing Bass or shrill highs on this phone. My listening preferences vary from Classical, Celtic, Instrumental, Classic Rock, Hard Rock and even Country. The K701 handles them all very well. They are especially good with female vocals. No matter which genre...
