Yeah, bass is there. But a little shy, doesn't make enough impact as of yet. I'm not too much of a basshead myself. =P

soon you'll find the bass is tight and impactfull enough, for me at least smile.gif

I'm stealing a few listens while it is burning in on my Musiland MD-10 headphone out la tongue.gif When it's slightly more burned in then only plug into my proper headamp. People on Headfi say Darkvoice 336i gives the K701 more kick! Can't wait till this burn-in is done, then can plug into my Darkvoice  laugh.gif If I remember correctly, the SR80 bass is somewhat boomy. I'd prefer quality over quantity when it comes to bass - deep, impactful bass, mmmmmm....  cool.gif

The K701 sounds quite alike to my AD900 though, first impressions la.

Hehe, cannot la your sales pitch, putting down the product only..  tongue.gif

SR80 indeed has lotta bass in term of quantity.

lao, you also got a darkvoice to feed 701? recently heard a few people buying darkvoice, mikelanding is another 1 using darkvoice with 650. you can direct plug 701 into darkvoice while waiting for burn in, why wait? lol

btw, you're in malaysia or aus? how much is the 701 you got?

That's right, I was using my sister's SR80 for a while when my SR60 was sent for repair. I think the bass the less than my MS2i though, don't really remember.

My darkvoice was meant to feed my MS2i, actually. Darkvoice with 650 is good, but I didn't like the signature of the 650 =P Tried it at a recent headfi meet. Heehehe I know, but wasting my tubes if i plug it into darkvoice for burn-in!

Still in Australia, but returning for holidays this weekend. The 701 I bought second-hand from US. Total cost about 300AUD la. RRP here is 699AUD  shakehead.gif

woot, headphile family~
nice price you got there, i gotta agree with you, 701 at Aus is overpriced. blush.gif

wasting tubes? c'mon, the average lifespend of a tube is about 2000 to 5000 hours IINM tongue.gif

1 question:

how is the position of the 701s pad? i realised that i messed up mine when i saw the reply at head-fi : they should be skinny at the front fat at the back

ya thinner side at the front. ijan taught me to push the pads to the front (just imagine the thicker side of the foam touches the back of your ears). This way you can hear tons of bass from your AKG smile.gif
*
comfort wise, i prefer the thicker side at bottom, due the the shape of human head..
anyway, i just switched them like it how it should be
