Finally! Got the qualification to join this club! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Just got this today, I am freaking impressive. Even without any amp, pairing it with my Sony X1k at default setting and EQ, it sounds marvelous although I have to crank the volume up to 22-24 as oppose to my usual volume at 12-15. it rendered my newly bought PX100-II and PX200-II useless now D: (Well they are still good for portable..) After pairing it up with FiiO E5, it sounds even more freaking good, I know, E5 isn't a proper amp but heck, I'm in UK and no I just can't imagine myself lunging all my stuffs back to Malaysia when I'm done studying here. Though, I am waiting for FiiO E11. This post has been edited by awyongcarl: Jan 13 2011, 05:14 AM

I'm ready to toss a few k on one. Also, any recommendation storage or carrying case for K701? (Well..I know the stock one is good enough..but need a good way to carry it.)

Last 2 weeks I bought the K99 and this week I bought the K 242 HD. Impressive I would say and I hope I'll stick with it for a while more before another upgrade

k420 user reporting in. sound wise, this cans little bit similar with portapro (in my ear). actually i want to get k450 but after testing, the sound from k450 failed to appeal me and thus get the k420 instead.
out of the box, k420 sounds was horrible. at first I wonder why its not as good as test unit that i try at the shop. but its get better and better after few hours burning in.

Sometimes I just can't help it but to doubt the "Burn-in" period. I've got a K701 that I ran for >200 hours+ And I've got a new K702 out of the box, they sounded exactly the same. lol
Don't tell me the crap like "You've got to burn-in for 1000 hours to notice the different". IMO, even if Burn-in period is legit, and if the headphone has been burnt-in for 100 hours, it's highly unlikely it's gonna change in the future.
Placebo effect much? I guess.
