Hello All

My baby AKG K701 is broken so I have an excuse to get a new headphone and I like to try something other than AKG although I love them so much. 

I listen to classical, symphonies, quartets etc, so sound stage and quality are very important.  I like a neutral sound, that produces sound as they should with no bias to bass or treble etc. 

I have my eye on the ATH-W1000X but appreciate that expensive headphone does not mean it will suit my taste.  Just wondered if anyone has any ideas? 

Many thanks.

PS - I posted something in the AT thread, but thought I might get some other ideas here as that thread is dedicated to AT.

Budget : 1000-2000 RINGGIT.
I have a laptop,an iPod touch & a phone.
Usage would be just for music & movies.
types of music : r&b , acoustic , blues , jazz , rap , country , alternative.
personal requirements : closed , noise canceling , use for listening to personal song recordings.

I've looked at the Sennheiser PXC 360 so far but I have no hands on experience with other brands. What are your thoughts?

The AT has a very different sound signature to your beloved K701.  Why don't you go with the new Q701 instead

If you are really into music, BT is a no no 

If you are seriously into music, please do not use Bluetooth headphones

& I'd appreciate suggestions to my post too. Thanks.

Haven't tried one. But looking at the design I'd say it'll be a bit difficult for some to get a good fit(I know I've read some that have the problem). It is a triple driver though, and I don't think it'll be a slouch when it comes to sound quality. Some use them as a reference to test out audio rigs. Some do complain a little but that may be because it's not the sound they like or they're very very critical. I think users of Triple.Fi 10 should give a comment.

I'd say try them out. It is a rather large investment. If you can't find the opportunity to try them out, I do recommend the other cheaper options, as they fit your need for bass.

Thinking of letting go of mine. Well in a few months though.
But it is modded and I'm not sure the warranty is still available. 

Oh, and it is compatible. it has a 6.3mm adapter. It is attached to the 3.5mm plug when shipped.
And about the sound. I find out that at times in certain music it does reveal some extra details. Details I've dismissed as being recording noise or artifacts before. They are just a tad sibilant, and bass can be felt when fed with the right music and power. Bass is quick, separation is good, though can be a bit sibilant. I've modded mine to have a slightly better bass slam and a pinch more impact, so I don't have to turn up the volume as much so the sibilance can be controlled. I've read reviews about these lower-end grados having a narrow sound stage. I was expecting the worst, but it isn't that bad really. My favourite thing about the SR60i is how it presents the electric guitar. Totally full of energy, the distortion is done very nicely, good weight. Muse's Newborn guitar entry hasn't sound so satisfying.

A recommended option for a starter headphone. 

Thanks for the recommendations. I don't think Sen is right for me as the sound is a bit dark.

One reason I am a bit reluctant on the 701 now is because I read current production of the cans is different from the first generation, which is the one I've got. The sound changed for the current gen.

Also, other than some tweaks and cable, is there anything else to the q 701? I read a few comparisons and some suggested that the extra money is not worth it.

Many thanks.

sounds great 

i'll get this then. oh yea, is jaben malaysia a good place to buy headphones? can i get grado der? its located in ss15? just came across with their facebook fanpage through somebody's sig 

Jaben Malaysia is a great place. In fact, try out the SR60 first, see if you like the sound. Some people don't like the Grado sound. Also test its comfort level. I'm letting go of mine because they're quite uncomfortable after a few hours. If you don't mind them to be uncomfortable, or you find them quite alright, then good for you.    They have a large array of other headphones to try out as well. You can also try out the others available.
