Review on AKG K701 Superb Stereo Headphone - Premium Reference Class (Level 1) by Shimamoto Tatsuki ᠌

If you are ready to buy these ears, be ready to buy good partners for them - source and amplifier. Fun fact. When creating the album, Michael Jackson was listened to at the studio on k701s. They noted that they wanted to convey such a sound. Have a good time +) Pros below: - Excellent stereo panorama - Very high detail - Pretty flat frequency response - Very light, 235g. - Spacious, any ear will fit - Open (I'll still write it as a plus, closed ones have some stuffiness in the sound, some kind of closeness, space is lost) - Beautiful +)) Excellent stage performance, when you listen to something on a large scale, where there is space and sounds around and go into the distance, feel the pleasure and wow effect. Very detailed, all sounds are separate, nothing is mixed into a mess. For instrumental, ethno, folk, jazz, etc. fit perfectly. Has some cons All the shortcomings described below are purely individual in fact. They are objective, but each has its own attitude and need. - Highs are slightly overstated around 7-10 kHz - A small hump on the averages of about 2 kHz (honestly, I don’t dare to call it a minus, I haven’t met people who complained about it) - low sensitivity 93db/1mW (note watts not volts) - A peculiar timbre (xs . I'm fine) - No thick, meaty sound - Ducky is not soft High bright, slightly protruding, but not sharp. Bass-midbass is clear and detailed, but not meaty, dry pitch. Personally, I like this kind of bass and midbass on the piano. For many people who prefer such genres as rock, metal, pop, the density and level of the low range may not be enough. But the ears themselves play from 40-45 Hz. I can't say anything about tone. I don't often go to the Philharmonic and listen to live concerts. Mmm darling . Who cares, it sits well on someone, but it presses on someone. I made myself a leather headband. zama on Velcro. If the source (dac) is bad, don't even look in their direction. You are tormented by sharpness, you don’t really feel the scenes, etc. Low sensitivity leads to the purchase of a good amplifier. They need an amplifier capable of supplying the desired voltage and current to the load, with a low output. resistance, preferably less than 10 ohms.
