Thinksound on-1 perhaps ?
I still like my (EQ'ed) DT1350 but this one is not suited as pirate booty I reckon.

I've heard good 1350s and bad 1350s.  I do like the good 1350s.

  • The good DT1350s are better than the V-Moda M-80. The street price and consistency of the V-Moda makes it more compelling.
  • NAD HP50 is not leaderboard stuff.
  • The arguments for K701 are compelling. The question is, will some random person like my wife like it?
Discuss...




Curious about the Meier. Let me know if you guys see one pop up for sale cheap or want to talk Jan into sending one to us. Looks like the current one is the Corda Classic? I'd probably throw Concerto up there, but it's no longer in production.

Does any random person like a headphone with a considerable lack of bass presence?

If we do the K701, a key point would be being able to get it around or under $200.  This is a one time flagship and the HD600/650 never gets that cheap.  However, listing the K701 also means we need to talk about the Q702, and 712, etc, etc.

I got a Concerto in the house, but sending it out the west coast from Canada might be a bit prohibitive.

Are you serious?  There are threads full of them.

Beyer DT48

Shure 1440

Stax Sigma

Sony SA3000

Audio Technica AD2000 is basslight to me

I also feel certain electrostats and some planars that measure ruler flat bass lack proper bass presence possibly due to lack of mass and/or excursion.  They have their fans too.

I guess I tend to run into 'random' folks that are comparing headphones to their wonderful experience with Beats at Best Buy.

I might take an AD900 over a K701. They both hang around $200. But I guess I'm an AKG hater so whatev

Yeah OJ, as a HD-600 lover, you have 0 credibility talking about AKG. You chose your camp and cannot part with it now  :wheel:

 :)p8

While I liked the K-701 (my first mid-tier headphone - that I got for 150eur, pretty cheap), if I had to start over again, I'd definitely go the HD-6x0 + vali route.
I would be a very different person, though. Liking Audeze and all  ::)

I tried the K702 65th AE before the HD600 or HD650. Long before. I just didn't find it to be a very competitive headphone and would even take the HD558 over it easily. Even if I could get one of those AKGs for $100, I'd still pay the extra $200 and just go with the HD600/650.
