K701 Open 2DBack Headphones Varimotion Flat 2DWire
Commentaires 15

I took it to listen to music for a long time while working on my computer. Also watch movies. The main criterion is not fatigability of sound (open design), clarity of the scene and purity of sound. All of this was based on reviews. AND EVERYTHING…

I listen on the built-in map, the mainland of the middle price segment, the volume is enough back to back. There is no soundproofing, I also knew about this and I fully arrange it, I am always alone in the room.

Separately, I want to write about the disgusting work of the AKG-Harman support service. I tried to find out the addresses of service centers that you can contact for a warranty case. There are no addresses of service centers on the site ru. Akg. Com. An automatic response came to the letter sent to info@harman. Help that the application was accepted for consideration, but there has been no response in essence for 5 days. No one picks up the phone on 8 800 700 04 67.

It's hard for me to find headphones that are comfortable. This model suits me perfectly. The sound also lived up to expectations, it is very accurate, smooth, highly dependent on the source, but it should be so. Who complains about the bass, so it's not at all in the headphones, with a normal source the bass is excellent.

I advise everyone who loves not just to listen, but to enjoy music. Please note that these headphones are for home use only. Pros: There are headphones to work with sound, record music, and there are to listen to it - AKG K 707 for the latter. I chose for a long time (I rummaged through the entire Internet: reviews, articles), slowly, carefully listening to my sound material (classical, jazz, rock, electronic): Denon AH-D5000, Audio-Technica ATH-W1000, Sennheiser HD 650, Grado RS2 - something was missing everywhere, basically, a sound picture unfolded in space, like on a stage, I wanted the music to sound not inside the head, but surround it. Of all the above, I liked the Denon AH-D5000 the most, but still the sound was inside. For some reason I didn’t even think about AKG, I saw them by chance in the Mediamarkt and because. there they hung included together with others and all played the same thing, it was possible to quickly compare, without switching and without the help of the…

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. -

It's hard for me to find headphones that are comfortable. This model suits me perfectly. The sound also lived up to expectations, it is very accurate, smooth, highly dependent on the source, but it should be so. Who complains about the bass, so it's not at all in the headphones, with a normal source the bass is excellent.

62 Ohm-a perfectly sway on any audio card, when connected to the players, there were no problems. Headphones are primarily designed for classics and vocals - they play incomparably. Fans of heavy compositions and "bass" may be a little disappointed. In these headphones, "bass" sounds only in those compositions where they really exist, and not as "scary" as in closed-type headphones.

I took it specifically for games, and they are 100% justified. The lows are needed only for the atmosphere, but due to the good mids and highs, and the large stage, they provide excellent positioning, you can easily determine the directions. They work great with binaural sound systems (built into Windows, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X) and other virtual 7.1. Nuance - if you are not alone in the room, you may not like open ears. For music, you should take it only if you don’t need a clear, collected bass. They will probably go to control the mids and highs in the mix, but the pros will figure it out without me. : In games with good sound, they are truly divine. Directions to sound sources are determined very accurately. In foreign forums, they are considered one of the best gaming headphones. From music, they are not suitable for metal, there are not enough bottoms. Equalizer saves, but not completely. It does not improve their quality, only the volume.

If we talk about sound quality, then further searches in more expensive models will not lead to any noticeable improvement. And in relation to models that are equal in price, these headphones stand out sharply in that they perfectly convey the scene not in your head, but as if in front of you; the sound is very transparent and detailed, but not analytically cold, but exactly what it should be in a room with people and various objects - it is difficult to convey in words. I have long had the famous and popular FOSTEX T50PR headphones ($260) among music lovers. So, after AKG K701, the sound in these FOSTEX seems to have passed through cotton wool, flat and inexpressive, sounding right in the head (due to the close approach of the membrane to the ear). The AKG K701 has a membrane that is very far from the ear, larger in size, and therefore provides such a wonderful three-dimensional sound picture. Low frequencies are soft, but clear and, as it were, "with a pull". HF is not intrusive…

These are not my first AKG headphones of this type. Many years ago I listened to the AKG K601 with pleasure, but then I sold them for financial reasons. Last year, I realized that I was missing my portable ATH-ES10s, and decided to go back to AKG for home listening, because I really liked their sound, but with an older model - K701 (similar to AKG Q701). In 2022, on the forum, I saw an advertisement for the sale of this model for only 6,000 and, without thinking twice, ordered this treasure of sound. Made in Austria. Applied proprietary technology vari-motion. Surround, non-flat sound due to the fact that each ear is in a large chamber formed by the earcups. The sound is crystal clear - clear and crisp. Ideal for listening to live music. Of course, headphones require a decent source with at least some built-in amplifier. These headphones were used, according to legend, when mixing Michael Jenson's best-selling album. In some genres, the low-frequency range may not be enough, but

I bought it during the ate of my sound subsystem. Everyone is happy. Soon there will be a month of use. I don't suffer from warm tube sound. I listen using Asus Xonar Essence STX. I mainly listen to jazz, classical, vocals and rock. No more musical mess - you can hear every instrument. According to some reviews, the headphones lack bass - I did not notice this (the problem can only be in the material being listened to). For fixing on the head, two elastic bands are used in the earpiece (they can be seen in large photos behind the plastic temples). It is also worth noting additionally the resistance - 62 ohms - so the question arises of the advisability of having an amplifier (my sound system has a built-in one). The most unpleasant thing about this purchase was that now the sound in my house is better than in the nearest cinema. I don't regret the purchase.

This is the best you can find for such a small amount. There are no competitors at all, only the AKGs themselves, for example, 702. Made in China, excellent quality. Now the headband is without bulges, which is good. I have known these ears for a long time, 10 years, and they were more expensive even then, as they were made in Austria. About 5 years ago I bought Senhi 650s, the sound in general was closer to me, but they have a feature - a scene in my head. Recently I saw a promotion for these AKGs and immediately took it. I am really equipped, I have enough for everything - k701 for jazz, ambient, experimental, etc., hd650 for metal, rock. It's not shameful to use equalizer presets in MusicBee, although I used to think it's not true. The sound does not spoil, and the accents you need are well highlighted. The software is still evolving. In general, with a set of 2 ears, E-MU 0204 and MusicBee (switched from Fubar), I can enjoy absolutely any music.

For more than six months I have been the owner of the model. Chose for a long time. Compared with many competitors, including the so popular Sennheiser HD650, various AudioTechnica, and even the Denon AH-D7000. I listened to various Hi-End class amplifiers. The 701 came out victorious in almost every test, from classical music and jazz to rock and roll and dance music. Headphones are able to play everything that is included in the recording, taking into account what your Hi-Fi / Hi-End source and amplifier can squeeze out of the soundtrack. Yes, yes, headphones are very demanding on the path. The sound can be described as detailed, analytical, neutral, but at the same time musical. The stereo picture is incredible, the sound is very spacious, excellent and very accurate transmission of the entire frequency spectrum. Nothing is clamped, everything is in its place, you can isolate every sound. There is an opinion that 701 have weak bass. This is not true. When connected to a…

Actually, when buying, I took home the top senshi 650 paired with LakonikBoxPro-6 for wiretapping, the seller offered to take also the AKG-701, since finances allowed, and he did so. The first day I listened exclusively to senhi for about 3 hours, without stopping - the impressions are positive, although the sound was not quite for me. On the second day, I put AKGeshki on my head and immediately noticed that they sit much more comfortably, you can literally run around inside your ears. What was my surprise when I woke up well after midnight after many hours of musical marathon. Briefly returned to the promoted brand, after which the 650s safely returned to the store to look for their owner. Advertising and reviews are, of course, good, but I'm used to making the choice myself, which I wish everyone, good luck!
