Happy chinese new year to all akg fans here.. y is this thread so quiet?

i wonder y Akg is less popular here? hehe

Akg strikes the balance between all... very comfortable listening experience...

Is the k701 a big upgrade from the k240 series? The 701 has been in the buy sell for quite some time..n I hv been tracking it for some time too..lol!

yup.. I am using the akg k242.. previously using beyer dt231.. can't listen longer than 30mins v it...fatigue...

Very nice setup.

Getting e17?

By the way, any1 hv inputs for k701? Big upgrade from 240?

Very very tempting stuff there! Wats the estimated street price?

I am selling off my AKG 242 HD if anyone is interested to get one... Its a realy great sounding headphone in my opinion... plays well in most genre...

Since my question of how well does akg k701 improves over the akg 242 has never been answered, I am going to buy one and feel it myself


Do PM me for the Akg k242 if u ar interested ^^

oh i see...finally get some very nice answer i am looking.... thanks a lot Xe and Lennox... nw i get it.. I always wonder why ppl say the bass of k701 is light coz the bass of k242 is actualy gud enuf... so the reason is bcoz k701 has lighter bass than k242...

I from Melaka.. so cant visit Jaben tat often.. but maybe i shud take a trip there n finish them off at one go ...

For now i am using my Secret amp to drive akg 242... will a portable amp like the RSA mustang be sufficient to drive the k701?

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...

meeting u is equal to a lot of fiio+akg poison... hahaha...jz jk...

izit true that Q701 is more bassy than the k701?

Phew~ Read this thread from 1st post until post #40 ++ give up for

now..... took me a few hours for it.... spanned from years 2006 to 2009...

and slowly experiencing the decreasing popularity of Akg headphones here...

Mainly talk about the infamous k701, how it compares to the big boys and how great it sounded despite the

lack of impact bass... oh.. and not to forget the part of eargasm+orgasm in many different areas of the house



Totally enjoyable reading session with the E10 + Secret + akg 242 + the voices of Jane Zhang and Olivia.

Have a gud day everyone !

Will be going kl next 2 week... does jaben allow us to test high end hp lik the k701?

Xe, i actualy googled those headamp n they are real expensive..lol!

I hope jaben does nt offer me v too many bundle...else i am dead..lol

lol.. D-zero is a big no for k701 i think... I paired D2 boa with my akg k242 and it is hardly sufficient for it.. D2 is close enuf to D-zero right..

Look at the amp tat bro XEdynamics recommend to use with k701, most of them are over 1k ....lol... @@

which model u aiming at? Q701?
