QUOTE(chingwooi @ Jan 31 2010, 04:51 PM) Planning to get another headphone... I was eyeing on the AKG K702 or the K701, I was wondering which one is better for pairing with iPod/Zune HD and MB White~ Which one needs amping? Also which one is better in term of bass, soundstage and clarity? I auditioned K701 for 15 minutes with travagans white. and own K702. Didnt notice much difference actually, but according to chinese forums, K702 got fuller bass. and, HELL NO. do not try these 2 naked (without amp) with any portable device. they will sound worse than a CX300 lol. heck, I've heard ppl said even secret amp cannot drive half the power of it. I feel travagans white (a semi-desktop amp with direct ac input) also can't really drive it properly, still quite harsh with some tracks, not to mentioned other battery powered amps. |

uDAC can drive K701 freaken loud too (i'm on 30/100 and its already my optimal listening volume), but that doesnt mean it has enough current to bring it to full potential, just enough gain
