AKG K-701 2-stars Reviews

Good sound but unreliable

These things fall to pieces after a month of use. I am very satisfied with the sound but I have to maintain them by soldering parts, which is unacceptable.

Broken after 2 weeks

I received these headphones 2 weeks ago. Yesterday the lefthand side earpiece started cutting out. Tonight, the sound is gone from the left side. It appears to be a connection issue, because when i move the cable the sound comes back for a short moment.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this product. I read and watched quite a few reviews of these headphones. I also thought these were manufactured in Austria. They're manufactured in China.

However, while they were working the sound was good. I am disappointed as i'm currently in the middle of mixing recorded tracks.

Calling these high end phones is pushing it a bit. At ?225.00 for headphones, i would expect better build quality.
