AKG K701 Reference Class Premium Headphones with Flat-Wire Voice-Coil Technology SKU: 2458X00180

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value from an old Flagship! I bought my K701 10 years ago or something similar and since then I really love them. So light i can wear them for hours playng games or listening records. The only excetion is fot mobility where I use the GRADO RS125E 'cause are smaller but good enought. Sonically pleasing, with a punch you wont imagine from a reference class.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great clean sound. I have my k701's for about 14 years now. They're crisp and clean in the highs and mids. Best set if you're serious about music production. Every instrument comes through at a very high resolution. They need about a thousand hours to burn in before they really shine. Had mine recabeled 13 years ago with moon audio's Black Dragon cable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievable sound and quality for the price. Absolutely wonderful headphones. I have headphones that cost 4xs the price of the 701’s and they don’t hold a candle to them.
