Product Description
AKG K701 delivers a truly dramatic sound that places musicians where they want to be with pinpoint accuracy. This kind of agility, spaciousness, brilliant highs, velvety & punchy bass is simply miraculous. The diaphragm is made of extremely thin foil and required by transducer designers to vibrate elastically while the center portion should move like a piston. The sound zone in the center is thicker than the rim and therefore moves like a piston with no partial oscillations for an absolutely realistic sound. The rim is thinner and vibrates more easily, providing a powerful, punchy bass range. Rated impedance - 62 ohms Max input power - 200 mW Cable - bi-wiring, single-sided, 99.99% oxygen-free cable, 3 m (10 feet) 1/4-inch hard gold plated connector Weight - 235 grams (8.3 ounces) without cable

 A top all-arounder May 22, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This audiophile offering from AKG may be the top all-arounder in the $300 price range, and has been the focus of enormous attention and interest. But a few things need to be explained to the prospective buyer:
- The K701, like some other top headphones, need to be broken in for them to reach their best sound. The diaphragms gradually loosen, and produce their ideal sound after 300 hours of listening. (You can also drop them in a closet while you send medium-volume music through them.)
- The K701 sound is remarkably versatile, able to handle anything from classical to pop. However, their "clinical" sound reveals detail in music, and is less suited for those who like a bass-rich (or bass-boost) sound.
- These headphones are extremely comfortable - one of a handful you can wear almost continuously without ill effect. Their generous fit around the ear has another benefit: a surprising sense of aural roominess.
I've owned a couple dozen highly regarded headphones, including products by Grado, Audio-Technica, Sony, and so on. The AKG K701 delivers time and again, and has prevailed over products costing twice as much.

the sound quality is self explainable the comfort... well... it feels great around the ear. not much pressure. You know why? because all of the pressure is on ur head!!! i feel like a ton of books are on top of my head. It hurts for more than a few hours of wearing.
 Koss, not AKG May 5, 2007
1 out of 25 found this review helpful
The inflated price should be a warning. The fact that the image is actually a Koss headphone deserves consideration. Of course, Amazon has another listing to this product that's far more complete and accurate than this.
Who knows? The price and image may be a simple error...but as currently listed, it's hard to imagine spending $500 plus for a duplicative, improperly listed item.
