Review: Se cercate una cuffia di qualità ad un prezzo ottimo non potete non prendere in considerazione questa cuffia della AKG. Io l'ho acquistata a febbraio e dopo diverse ore di ascolto sono assolutamente soddisfatto del mio acquisto. La cuffia si presenta in una elegante confezione, una volta aperta la scatola troviamo all'interno: la cuffia, una base dove appoggiarla ed un jack adattatore. La cuffia è rifinita bene con materiali di qualità, si tratta di una cuffia aperta con padiglioni circumaurali pertanto non sarete isolati dai rumori esterni (nè chi vi sta attorno sarà isolato da voi). La cuffia è comoda, i padiglioni in soffice velluto grigio circondano completamente le vostre orecchie ed anche dopo molti minuti indossarla non è un problema. Il cavo è lungo a sufficienza per trovare una posizione comoda accanto al vs. impianto Hi-Fi, fuoriesce da un solo padiglione e questo è decisamente comodo per evitare l'aggrovigliarsi del filo, manca però la possibilità di sganciare il cavo direttamente dalla cuffia. Per l'ascolto l'ho abbinata al mio vecchio impianto Hi-Fi che tante soddisfazioni mi ha dato e continua a darmi: amplificatore integrato Sansui AUX-501, piatto Thorens TD320 con testina Stanton 681EEE-MKII-S, lettore cd Rotel RCD965BX. Personalmente non ho avuto problemi di amplificazione, pertanto mi verrebbe da dire che se avete un buon ampli anche se non dedicato all'uso della cuffia non dovreste avere problemi. Come suona? Premetto che per poter dare un giudizio corretto bisognerebbe poterla comparare con altri prodotti di fascia alta, ma non avendo questa possibilità dovrete accontentarvi di un giudizio parziale. A mio avviso la cuffia suona in maniera neutra, nessuna enfasi particolare, a volte sembra un pò avara di bassi, ma con altre incisioni vi accorgerete che non manca nulla, nè la timbrica nè il punch. Se vi concentrate durante l'ascolto potete percepire i minimi dettagli del brano in esecuzione e la scena sonora non è mai piatta. Io l'ho trovata estremamente piacevole nella riproduzione delle voci degli interpreti, soprattutto se femminili, e di alcuni strumenti (pianoforte, fiati), ma anche con l'elettronica ed il pop classico non delude. Per darvi un'idea più precisa ho ascoltato Michael Jackson (Thriller), Amy Winehouse (back to black), Tracy Chapman (diversi brani), Adele (21), Pink (The truth about love), Depeche Mode (alcuni singoli), The Police (Reggatta De Blanc), Edoardo Bennato (Sono solo canzonette), David Bowie (The next Day), ed il risultato dell'ascolto è stato sempre piacevolissimo. In definitiva io la consiglio senza problemi, purchè tutta la Vs. catena di ascolto sia valida e le tracce siano di ottima qualità, ovviamente se potete provatela prima dell'acquisto perchè nell'alta fedeltà la percezione ed i gusti di ognuno sono quantomai diversi, se non potete farlo non abbiate timore nell'acquistarla è comunque un prodotto di qualità.
Review: Reference headphones are not the most friendly for general listening, but absolutely necessary in the recording studio. If you want headphones to listen on the bus or train these are not for you. If you want sharp transparent perception of your mix, you need these. I use them to supplement with reference monitors to fine tune the stereo balance and find high spots in the EQ. Being open back they do not provide any real isolation from background noise, but this is not a problem in a studio or private litening room. Importantly they are some of the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they still made in Austria?**
A: In March 2014 AKG informed me that *all* AKG headphones are now being designed in Austria and assembled in China. The AKG "Professional Headphones" web page identifies only the K712 and K812 as still "Made in Austria". So it appears the AKG K701s "Made in Austria" will gradually disappear as the remaining stock gets depleted.

**Q: Are these headphones made in Austria or in China? Please confirm which one it is please?**
A: In March 2014 AKG informed me that *all* AKG headphones are now being designed in Austria and assembled in China. The AKG "Professional Headphones" web page identifies only the K712 and K812 as still "Made in Austria". So it appears the AKG K701s "Made in Austria" will gradually disappear as the remaining stock gets depleted.

**Q: What are the differences between the K701s and the Q701s? Thanks!**
A: The Q701 and K701 do not have the same frequency response curve. The Q701 is intended for AKG's consumer market. It is found on AKG's "Lifestyle" web site. It's frequency response is not flat and neutral. Rather, it has a +5dB boost between 50Hz and 400Hz, a -4dB dip between 3kHz and 5 kHz, and a +3db boost between 6kHz and 8kHz (the "smile" frequency curve typical of consumer grade headphones). These would give a pleasing consumer listening experience, but would not be good for professional studio monitoring/mixing/mastering.The K701/K702 is aimed at AKG's studio market. It is found on AKG's "Professional Audio Solutions" web site, which states: "The K702's are reference, open, over-ear studio headphones for precision listening, mixing and mastering". The K701/K702, are flat and neutral analytical reference headphones with a frequency response of  30Hz-10kHz +/- 3dB. The full audio bandwith is 10Hz to 39.8kHz. Their purpose is to give musicians, producers and audio engineers the tool they need for the monitoring/mixing/mastering accuracy necessary to create the highest quality artistic decisions about the musical performance. They are also excellent for the discerning listener interested in hearing music as it actually sounded when created in the studio or concert hall.

**Q: I just want to listen from my iPhone, is this possible?**
A: I use them with a late 2016 6s and they sound just fine, but they will not be as loud as the apple headphones that came with the phone. Note that the cable is a whopping 9ft/3m.

*by A***R on 29 November 2015*

I have just purchased these out of pure curiosity because they were on sale at just £108 plus a £10 further discount voucher on Black Friday, that was too much for me to resist taking a gamble. BUILD: These will definitely be talking points and I really like their retro look when sitting on their stands, I'd say they are "headphone art". The build quality seems decent enough although nothing out of the ordinary either, fairly solid with a nice comfortable fit and surprisingly light. The ear cups are very large and they do take a bit of getting used to. But like going from a Ford to a BMW, you know you've moved up a step or two but the BMW is still unfamiliar and it takes time to settle into it and enjoy it properly. SOUND: These are quite different to my Grado SR60i's that I've enjoyed for many years and will continue to do so, I am very familiar with the Grados sound so I will try and give some comparisons with those as a point of reference. Firstly the 701's are much less emphasised in the bass, in other words they are flatter in frequency response, when there is bass present they will show it but they are not designed to initially impress in the bass department, instead they are very accurate of the signal presented to them. I can say the same across the rest of the audio spectrum. At first this makes them sound a little strange because the Grados clearly have more bias towards the lower end, but the lower end is more "muddy" on the Grados, I supposed you would call it added warmth. This added warmth works well on stuff like Spottify / TV and other such devices. It also helps drown out harshness on poor recordings etc. However, you can easily add some equalisation to these at the low end if you desire more "artificial warmth" Having said all that, I believe the 701's are a headphone that just gives you what is there and some may find that strange, I would say that giving yourself time to adjust to this and also listening to some well recorded Jazz, classical, acoustic will show just how good these head phones can be, they are more open, cleaner and dynamic than the Grados on well recorded music of any genre. But there is still a place for the Grados and that is on ipods, mobile phones and some pop / rock that needs added colouration to make it palatable! One thing I would like to stress, there is a lot of nonsense in Hi-Fi and no two individuals will hear things the same, I recently bought an Asus Xonar One Muses Edition Pre/Dac and I can honestly say that comparing the headphone amp on that with my PCI Asus DG sound card at the same volume level, I could not honestly tell any difference in sound quality when running the 701's. People will argue with me but I'm afraid it's true, as much as I didn't want it to be! Price doesn't always equate to performance in Hi-Fi, beware the marketing hype! There are very few "bad" out there these days, everything is adequate, it's nothing like the difference in spending £1000 on a turntable compared with spending £50 because a turntable is all about precision engineering and you do hear big differences. But headphones? not! They are all pretty decent above the £70 mark, we are talking about a diaphragm housed in a case that's it! They are simply different and a matter of personal taste, I will be using the 701's for critical listening to well recorded music and keep the Grados for general use, films and the like. Anyway, I can guarantee that using a properly installed Asus DG soundcard with the gain set to +64 in the impedance in the Audio centre software, plus a pair of these you will have made a significant improvement in your PC sound which will be over 90% of what you can achieve by spending £1000's more so don't bother! Asus DG is only £23 on Amazon at moment but make sure you install the drivers carefully and set up the supplied Audio Centre Correctly, this card also sounds great with the Grados by the way. I asked AKG for their opinion about the concept of "running in" because according to many reviews, these need 300hrs use before sounding right, here is their reply... "I think you are referring to the "burning-in time" of the headphones, as it is regarded on the Internet and other media. However, I would say that this is just folk law. The headphones are tested and set to perform at their peak level straight out of the box" Make of it as you please. Good listening! Edit 03/03/2016: Having now used these for a good few months, i have decided they are not for me and i'm back on My Grado Sr60i's. The reason is that I find the flat response of the AKG's a bit boring, I also started to find the massive ear pads a bit uncomfortable and I found the sound to be a little detached or "distant" from my ears and having to increase the volume to try and get me excited. Having said all that, my son likes them (he's 19 and does a lot of music mixing). For him the clarity is what he needs, but for me, they just don't exite me and don't have that warmth and fullness of the Grado's. Good phones no doubt but just not for me!
