K-701 : Sound quality is just truly fantastic.

10 years ago

Just to start with, I can say that I know fair bit about headphones.

I do build my own headphone amplifiers for many years and do own more that few various headphones to spoil myself.

I have to say that these are my favorite to the date.

Believe me, that even my HD800 are not used that often as these here,they K701 are just fantastic.

One thing need to be said though, you do have to drive these properly, without enough juice you will not hear its full potential, but just providing enough current and these do sound phenomenal, its a class for itself.

These are no new to the market, and have proved to be trusted choice for many. Providing you can give them what they need, and you will love them.

The bottom end of the spectrum is where these can show their true capabilities when you can feed them with enough power. Highs, and middle are just majestic, and every type of music and recording sounds just natural and organic. Can't fail them for anything.

I also believe that they are fantastic value, to the date these are best you can buy, not spending crazy money for the pair of headphones. I own/ed many far more expensive headphones, and some of them are not even close to these, where it comes to the sound quality and tonal balance. You will not be disappointed with these, they are just worth the listen.

I have also K7xx (limited edition) but 701 are far more natural and organic for me and my accompanied headphone amplifier.

Give them a try and have fun, out there.
