K-701 : Finally found my desert island headphones

11 years ago

After using these headphones for quite some time, and having been through many others before and after, I can happily say they are the best headphones for me for use in sound design and late night mixdowns.

These headphones have a bright top end sound that takes a while to settle down from new. The high end tends to soften/mellow with many hundreds of hours use and now they are giving me the most accurate sound I have had along with a comfort level that means I can wear them without issue for hours on end.

As I mentioned in the title these are my desert island headphones, after years of searching, and if they ever get lost (I can't imagine them failing as they are seriously well built) I will buy another pair in a heartbeat.
