dead honest, i really love the run through of the great headphone wall. crazy as it sounds, the videos on the Grados and the akg k240 studios inspired me to dive into the headphone hobby, with those to start! its been some 2 years since then, and those two sit at the top of my wall, looking down like matriarch and patriarch of their ever expanding headphone clan. recently even managed to get my hands on some jecklin floats! it feels amazing collecting bits of history and actually get to use them like they were meant to be.

I bought them two years ago and have used them every day since, bloody love 'em.

[@a_name5127]

talking about the 70s with the best audio, I've been reading Peter Grant, the Man who Led Zeppelin, it's an autobiography about Grant. It said how when Zeppelin got onto the scene the PA systems and speakers in general weren't ready for how loud they were as a group (they were always told how overpowering their sound was) and as soon as they started gaining traction in the States the audio business followed suit, creating speakers, and likely headphones, to fit with the new wave of music. Interesting stuff

[@MIsterISmiley]

As the owner of a pair of K701's I can give you some tips other than they are REALLY nice to look at and sound really good for 100€ headphones: There are two types of headbands out there. One is the completely flat one and one comes with these plastic bumps that are REALLY uncomfortable. Both aren't really that nice so either make a new one yourself (or have someone make a headband for you), modify it yourself with something soft like rubber strips or do it like me and have them rest on your shoulders while having the headrest behind your head. It's not unbearable if you have the flat one, but they aren't that comfortable. Second: They tend to creak around the plastic tubes sometimes. Just give em a whack and it should be fine again. Third: The earcups are soft, but firm. They are far from squishy. Fourth: The Q701 and K701 are pretty much the same headphones with the only real difference being that the Q701's have a removable cable. They are a lot harder to find tho and usually more expensive. The cable of the K701 isn't removable, but it's REALLY thick, long and covered in thick rubber. It's heavy so tie up what you don't need and chuck it somewhere hidden. Fifth: Enjoy. Before I got my K701's i had a pair of Hifiman He400Se and as crazy as it sounds I like the K701's way more. They have a sort of vintage vibe to them and barely have any weight to them if you handle the cable situation. If you want white headphones grab a pair while you still can, because I got mine from Amazon and they went from 100-110€ to like 200 bucks.

Not a bad idea to keep the aviation headphones. if theyre David Clarks, they'd probably run for a couple hundred bucks. They're only designed for voice though, and in loud environments, so they're definitely not hi-fi. Very comfortable though, and standing next to a C-130 with running engines, they're a blessing.

I don’t know how long ago this vid was for the patreons but if you haven’t already you can throw out those aviation headphones, you can. They aren’t nice ones and they have no use to you since their only purpose is hearing other pilots. On a side note I was actually pretty surprised by how decentish music sounds through Bose A20s (kinda insane considering they are 1,200 bucks).

Is akg dead? I got a pair of 240's back in 2016 and they're still my favorite pair to wear for extended sessions at my home office setup.

When I went back to college after visiting home over winter, I left my headphones I use for gaming at home, and they were the only wired set I had that could run out of my Xbox controller.
