AKG has brought their considerable audio engineering skills into focus in on their high-end dynamic headphone designs and produced an astonishingly good sounding pair of cans in their K701. Getting it absolutely right at this level of performance is tough and the K701 gets pretty darn near. These cans deliver a dynamic and punchy sound; articulate and clear over the full audio range. Bass lovers will dig the solid punch and control of these cans; classical and acoustic fans will likewise love the fact that that dynamic control moves right on up the frequency range to clearly articulate every finger pluck and rosin-on-gut string texture in the mix. About the only thing that we can say bad about these cans is that those who like a very laid back or airy sound might want to look elsewhere since these are clearly cans that deliver an immediacy that demands you attention. And…oh!...what a lovely demand it is. Less
