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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

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.

Pros
  • Wide stage, detail. I really like the look. The stand is included, why other headphones do not have this, is it a penny? Price, I've never seen earphones so cool cheaper.
Cons
  • Not at this price. Someone complains about landing, I'm fine. The bass is accentuated by the equalizer if it's really needed.
