i can understand not liking the signature but really, average soundstage for k7 series?

[@jaxmanf]

Nice video, but I'm going to have to disagree. The standout is the soundstage. I do agree about the lack of extension, but the soundstage is really incredible. Also comfort is is a big factor, and these were the most comfortable headphones I've ever tried. No issed with shallow cups (I guess I have small ears) or uncomfortable band, which is genuine leather btw.

You are like opposite of Zeos.

I use this headphone with Matrix M-stage hpa-3u+ amp, which has a warm signature & I love it. I usually pick this over hd6xx for rock/pop coz it has a good soundstage, instrument separation and sounds quite natural

i wanna buy the AKG K702 made inaustria since they are only 115€ here in germany....are they better than these in the video? im new and have no idea....how does the sound compare? or is the only difference in the build quality....thanks in advance

[@BoweiLiu33]

Nice, thanks for the review

[@LeonYapKL]

I use this for gamming, especially CS:GO. Looking forward for THX00 review.

Also try AKG K240/K240 Mk2 or similar M220. These are really good headphones at more than X2 the price of those.

I just got my 7XX a week ago. It's a $154 (after tax and shipping) second-hand open-box one I got from eBay. The headphone is really light and the clamp is looser than my other headphones, so it doesn't feel as solid as many other headphones, but it's REALLY comfortable. I'm loving it so far. I have a pair of 58X's and I really like the 7XX compared to the 58X. Not saying the Senn's are bad, but I prefer the extra soundstage that 7XX gives me. I listen to a lot of orchestral and the narrow soundstage on the 58X isn't really helping with creating the feeling of being in a large orchestra hall. I also feel that the 7XX are slightly more resolving on instruments, probably because of the slightly crispier highs. I think the 58X and 7XX are fairly on par: neutral sound signatures with good resolution at a low-ish price range. If they are at the same price, I'd take the 7XX over the 58X for its soundstage. However, I don't think they are worth MSRP $200, more like $170. I guess I'm a boring man listening to a boring headphone, but I actually like this sound signature as a daily driver baseline and flesh out my collection with specialty headphones down the road.

[@CarsonWotell]

what did you do to your m1060's in the background, and could you do a tutorial on how to mod them like that

[@trabuco81]

Thanks for saving me money. Happy with my HD 6xx

[@amirmotmaen9838]

Your reviews are really good.

[@AdrianIII]

Sometime could you describe what you mean by "GRAIN?"

[@CosmicPotato]

Funnily enough I was listening to these and saw this upload-watched the review on K7XX. Love your reviews, but somewhat disagree with you. True they don't really have a standout factor like being super relaxed, but they're pretty darn neutral and have a nice soundstage, IMO. To me, where these cans sound best is listening to very well mixed and mastered tracks. I don't know what your musical leanings are, but K7XX sounds good to me on albums like the recently remastered version of Red by King Crimson or the La La Land soundtrack. True these sound great on other headphones and may sound more fun on those, but I like to cycle through the couple of cans I have. Keeps my library sounding fresh, but maybe that's just me.

[@DRtwinkies]

Does anyone use these for gaming? People say the akg701/702's have best directional sound for competitive gaming. What's the imaging, soundstage, footsteps like?

[@BenjiDoodle]

oh man i have that foam bed topper on my bed lol i was thinking how they would go as sound foam on a wall lol

[@WILSON-tc4bb]

What would you recommend as an upgrade to the Philips SHP9500?

[@abs2fast2furios]

I wanna see you review the k712, I've read a lot of good things but only other video I've seen is from Zeos. he's <3 but reviews aren't the most articulate
