In many ways these s are one of the most impressive pairs of headphones we've come across. They're beautifully built, and feel like they'd survive years of use with ease. The K701s are also extremely comfortable due to wide, well-cushioned ear pads, a...

The AKG K701s are a mid-range set of cans that see wide use in the DJ and mixer community. With a flat frequency response and wide open soundstage, it's not hard to see why. Though these cans aren't as good as studio monitor speakers, they will work in a...

With a great frequency response, extremely comfortable wear, and an open soundstage, these are a good entry- to mid-level pickup for those who are fans of an analytical sound. Though these headphones have more or less been re-born (through re-branding) as...

Am I actually wearing them?!It's one of AKG's very best features: the 701's suspended headband is as light as air. Once the K701s are on your head, you'll completely forget they're there. Well... more or less. Despite their not-inconsequential weight, you...

The AKG K 701s represent the art of headphone design at the highest level. Every few years, a truly unique and musically satisfying piece of equipment passes through your doors and you berate yourself trying to figure out what you are going to write ab...
Magnificent tonal balance that rivals some very high-end loudspeakers. Let's you hear every last little thing on the recording. Powerful bass that is very well controlled. Sit perfectly on your head and just vanish.
Lacks a deep bottom end. Needs a high quality headphone amplifier and source to really strut its stuff. Takes weeks of constant use before it is broken-in. Might not be the ideal headphone for rock music.
One of the top 3 headphones currently available at a price that is affordable. Music flows out of these and is incredibly transparent sounding. Paired with the right amplifier, it is as good as audio reproduction gets using headphones...
