AKG Q701

 

It feels weird to have a celebrity-endorsed set of cans take our 10, but the Q701s did it.

Fantastic frequency response; Comfortable; Startlingly attractive

Quincy Jones not included

If you’ve got the juice to power these headphones, you’ll lose yourself in easily one of the best headphones we’ve tested. While most celebrity-endorsed headphones typically get slaughtered in our ratings with poor audio performance to price, the AKG...

A Real Pleasure With Good Files

 

I've had these headphones for two weeks, running them constantly through my music library to break them in. At first they sounded pretty awful, but in the last few days I'm starting to experience what their owners appreciate. I've only used them with...

Exceptional soundstage. Good value.

 

If you are looking for an open-back headphones that have exceptional soundstage... consider getting this AKG Q701. But this AKG is not for those looking for booming bass from their headphones. Good value. Made in Austria. I paired it with my Schiit...

Q701 is for home

 

I can't understand why someone walking in campus with Q701, that is kind of waste. This headphone is absolutely great but it need a proper AMP. At the first ear, there will be some teeth-sound that is really terrible and the high-pitch can be a little...

Amazing yet pricy (black)

 

Ordering and Shipping: i ordered this via prime so i got it in 2 days. the packaging seemed good enough. Opening the package: as soon as i opened i noticed that these headsets were BEAUTIFUL and packed graciously in the box. right out of the box there...

Possibly the most accurate dynamic headphone on the market.

 

The title of this review says it all. The sound signature of these is incredibly neutral, nothing is accentuated, nothing is recessed. Audio is presented exactly as it was recorded. These are good enough as far as accuracy goes that I wouldn't hesitate...

Great headphones

 

I'm no audiophile, just someone that enjoy good music. All that I can say its WOW, these are definitely great cans. I only can compare them to Audio Technica ATHM50 and AKG Q460, and there is no comparison, by a mile. One more thing, I don't know what...

Amazing Headphones

 

These are the best headphones I have ever owned. I use them as reference headphones when mixing music. For this job they work amazing as they are very neutral headphones. What this means is they do not add or subtract much bass, mid or treble, giving...
