Yeah.. yet I have an issue here which is the volume for burn-in are not constant. So I guess it actually will affect the burn-in period. When day time i burn with 80% volume yet at night time I need to sleep, so maybe decrease to 20% of volume only. If i burn with 80% of volume at the night time i guess i probably no need to sleep already because I can hear what the headphones playing  tongue.gif

Are you referring to the K518LEs as below hmm.gif

If it is the K518DJ you are looking for, it has been replaced by the K519DJ nod.gif

For the difference between the K242HD/K240mkII and the Q/K701/K702, do PM bro @RaymondT who has both or @Lennox who has the K240mkII and had spent some time on my Q701 nod.gif

hv done a lot of google-ing edi... different ppl hv different views... from what i hv read, Akg k242 is known as neutral headphones as well but for me the bass is definite gud enuf for me...  Dark sound and Sony-style-sound are too boring for me...  i prefer clear wide sound with prominent vocal...especially the sound of Olivia Ong~~

Bcoz i probably wont be buying from Jaben, tats y i am nt feeling gud if i were there just for a test...

No worries who you buy from nod.gif If you do come to KL, lug your music along and let us meet over a weekend. Will bring E17/E9 combo and the Q701 of course. nod.gif

Unless you are living day to day underneath overhead bridges without knowing when your next meal may be, there is no way you can shield from the audiophile poison. You will move haven and earth just to keep it up tongue.gif

Ask bro Lennox, 1st AKG K240mkII, then FiiO E17 ... next FiiO E9? AKG Q701?

hey, i just got my Q701 last week...i got it for RM800+ in us...n its still in the process of burn in~  rclxms.gif
anyway, i wont regret getting it as u cant carry a speaker anywhere u go and u tend to disturb ppl especially when u wanna blast at night(thts wat i do, blasting after long day of study)
the bass for Q701 is avg but the sound is smooth n u can hear it very clear, im running it wit E10...the thing i dn lik is the sound leak tend to b more compare to other open phone, but no big deal~ and ya u still can hear ppl talking if they talk too loud(n ur volume too low)~ so overall its a great headphone to get...i nv tried K701 or K702 b4 so i cant comment on those...n im still waiting for my K240 mkii to arrive tmr... biggrin.gif

btw, u can try amazon, i got mine from there but im not sure do they ship internationally or not~

Bro, the FiiO E10 won't make the AKG Q701 sing shakehead.gif You will need to couple it with the E9 or similar high powered desktop amp nod.gif Then only you can appreciate the depth of the bass on the Q701 cool.gif

During your burning in, the first point of reference is around 300 hours and the next around 500 hours rclxm9.gif

my K701 now 300 ~ 400 hours, mid frequency getting better and smooth. I believe even if it 500 hours mark, the bass can't go deeper as Q701..

It not 'placebo'
*
During the last TT at Times Square, did A/B test with the standard that comes with the K240 and the standard cable that comes with Q701. There is a difference. Both @Santik and @Lennox tried as well. The cable of the K701 and Q701 is different as well.
