i heard newer produced AKG products quality aren't good as before, is that true?
i'm considering on K701/K702/Q701, if their price are same, which one better?
these headphones will hear ppl talking to you? or you cant hear anything only the music that headphone playing?
rm1k enough to get a good speaker set, anyone regret on getting headphone and regret why didn't get a good speaker?
anyway i'm looking into this site, peoples says they are genuine and good service, they have shop too, a lot cheaper than here
http://soundluck.taobao.com/

hey, i just got my Q701 last week...i got it for RM800+ in us...n its still in the process of burn in~ rclxms.gif
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... biggrin.gif

btw, u can try amazon, i got mine from there but im not sure do they ship internationally or not~

Bro, the FiiO E10 won't make the AKG Q701 sing  shakehead.gif You will need to couple it with the E9 or similar high powered desktop amp nod.gif  Then only you can appreciate the depth of the bass on the Q701  cool.gif

During your burning in, the first point of reference is around 300 hours and the next around 500 hours  rclxm9.gif

Yeah I'm saving up for that right now...anyway...any case recommend to keep them? They dn hv hippo case in the us...

+1 bro.

hello guys.

le me new owner of AKG Q701 which I just bought.

currently 10 hours of burning, and I found the bas is punchy compared to the AKG K701.

currently using the ASUS Xonar Essence STX stock Op-Amp without any amplification.

looking for good amp to amplify this 62 Ohm cans.

any suggestion guys?

p/s:no need to be that pricey like bro xEDynamics.

fiio E9 + E17/E7~?
im using E10 n i still cant really feel the bass on my Q701...currently 30hours of burning... biggrin.gif

if I'm on my STX soundcard, I set them to high gain.

how did u burn them?  hmm.gif

with the help of a good friend, they've develop a burning playlist to minimize those noises.

hey guys,

I'm relatively new in the audiophiles world, expect 0 knowledge on the equipments.

I wanted to buy a AKG K242 HD
purpose - music (instrumental)
device - PC (creative pci x-fi xtreme music) & phone

do I need an amp? I have totally no idea what is DAC, tube and whatsoever stuff and their purpose LOL, but I know they're "poisonous"!

Try to poison me=D
*
hihi, nv tried k242 b4 so cant comment on it....whether u nd an amp or not its all depends on u, some ppl feel tht the output witout amp is not enough so they get an amp to enhance the output(i think its call enhance)...DAC is digital to analog converter, it convert ur digital signal on ur pc to analog signal...sry not good at explaining... blush.gif

well, basically wat an amp do is it increase the power of ur signal thus u will hv better output...u can headover to jaben in subang to try out the headphone wit n witout amp...

Nope, FiiO E9i is for docking the iPhone but you can still use the FiiO E7/E17 by using the FiiO L7 adapter to bypass the internal amp then hook up to the FiiO E9i via the 3.5mm input at the back.
*
but the quality for e9 and e9i the same? coz the price on amazon for e9i is cheaper compare to e9....and they hv a bundle set for e9+e7 for 180usd which is around rm500+....isit best 2 get the bundle or should i wait for e17? e17 is not available in the us yet... cry.gif

When you say bass, do you mean rumbling type or  hmm.gif  Cause the Q701 does gives you real deep well defined bass  hmm.gif

personally, i lik my k240 better than my q701 when it come to bass, i mean something like erm..nightcore with bass...this few days just few tht something is lacking in my music...not satisfied at all...
