QUOTE(Lennox @ Nov 17 2011, 04:25 PM) 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 Aiyoh |

QUOTE(chaukian @ Feb 6 2012, 06:46 PM) 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~~ No worries who you buy from Bcoz i probably wont be buying from Jaben, tats y i am nt feeling gud if i were there just for a test... |

QUOTE(chinti @ Mar 1 2012, 02:08 AM) hey, i just got my Q701 last week...i got it for RM800+ in us...n its still in the process of burn in~ Bro, the FiiO E10 won't make the AKG Q701 sing 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... btw, u can try amazon, i got mine from there but im not sure do they ship internationally or not~ During your burning in, the first point of reference is around 300 hours and the next around 500 hours |

QUOTE(xEDynamics @ Mar 1 2012, 03:11 PM) 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.. 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.It not 'placebo' |
