K-701 : Perfect studio headphones

Those headphones have been very useful to me. I'm a semi-professional sound editor and sound mixer. It is such a pleasure to be able to enjoy the quality throughout the whole sound spectrum. The balance of this tool is very impressive. I've been using it for 5 years now and I am still pleased with it.

The only downside is that the heads becomes a little uncomfortable on the top and that the jack to minijack adapter tends to not be perfect. I feel they could have added the possibility to separate the cable and the headset.

On the other hand I've seen how easy it is to replace it in case. So, good point AKG !

This is of course a studio typed headset. You won't be able to use it as a field headset or just to listen to music while walking.

I highly recommend this awesome tool for your (home) studio. Again, balance is perfect. And it is a real pleasure to have open headphones. It's nice for you because you hears what's going on around you, but sound isolation is not their aim so people around you will have to opportunity to enjoy what you're listening to. It isn't a issue to me. It depends what you're looking for.
