By far the best soundwaves that came through my ears man! I can't imagine what higher end cans sounds like. So bro, is the e7 enough to drive the K518DJ? I'm thinking of getting one.

QUOTE(azimlatip @ Mar 19 2011, 09:30 PM) Hello, Newbie in audio accessories (or whatever it is called) reporting! Just got myself an AKG Q350 (Black) from E1 - AKG! Such a great headphone and with nice style  I never have an interest in getting a branded and expensive earphone just to hear musics, heck, I don't even have any idea on it. Hopefully I could learn as much as possible from you guys and of course, Mr Google. Hehe. Currently pairing it with my iPod and will definitely get a good MP3/MP4 player in the near future. Thank you E1 - AKG  welcome 2 d elite club  we r here 2 share d sound of a legend wif more than 60 years of history!

QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Mar 22 2011, 08:51 AM) Sorry to burst your bubbles but, Q701 is just a rebranded K702, with new fancy color schemes, and yeah..Quincy Jones's signature. That's it. Sure..it's still a Flagship but it's not exactly NEW. K701/2 is not replaced by Q701 and thus..."The new Flagship is now Q701" sounds wrong to me. both my customers & myself had tried out d Q701 against d k702, its d cable tat makes d diff ... internal comm fr akg defines d q701 as d neu flagship udr consumer range while d k702 is udr d pro range ...
