QUOTE(NoobHacker @ Feb 29 2012, 10:37 PM) i heard newer produced AKG products quality aren't good as before, is that true? hey, i just got my Q701 last week...i got it for RM800+ in us...n its still in the process of burn in~ 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/ 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... btw, u can try amazon, i got mine from there but im not sure do they ship internationally or not~ This post has been edited by chinti: Mar 1 2012, 02:16 AM |

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ Mar 2 2012, 11:26 AM) hey guys, 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... 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 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... |

QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ Mar 2 2012, 11:50 AM) 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... |
