LFF-Great to hear. Now how to  explain to my wife about buying a pair of HD 800's on Thursday, and now I need another pair of cans on Monday, because you know, they are on sale. Works for her with clothes, but never for me with audio gear.  :(  I thought I liked the K701's at first because "they" said I would. After a couple of months I realized they weren't for me. Hence the HD 650's. My best friend loves the K701. Each to their own.

That's the way the world works. Looking forward to impressions of the 7XX. Love the name.

"It's not what you spend...it's what you save!"

Say that you are doing a "vs. battle" and the phones that win after a prolonged comparison will stay.

(Then the other 19 pairs will eventually have to go!  :& )

That might work, If I can justify the multiple speakers, amps, DAC's and CD players. I have to learn how to sell things! Zero sum game would work. Um, how DO I sell this stuff?

Looks like I can still get in on these.  Quick question.  If I miss the airiness and soundstage of my recently sold HD800s (currently using an HD650 off of a Bottlehead S.E.X. 2.1), would these be a better step in that direction than something like the Sony MA900s?  Max budget is $200 for something just a tad more expansive sounding for orchestral work than the HD650s.  Don't want anything too thin sounding.  Thanks.

I think the consensus right now is that this is the best $200 you can spend on phones.

This is getting massively overhyped (pun unavoidable).

By the way, I hear these are pretty much exactly like the K702 Anniversary edition in sound quality. I also hear that the only difference between the anniversary and the q701 are the pads and that the warmer sound on the anniversaries are attributed to the thinner/denser memory foam pads.

MDR MA900  vs  K7xx Massdrop

FIGHT!

At the current street&internet prices (around 200 bux), which one would you rather get?

I will be doing a MA900 vs K7XX battle at my work when the drop ships. I'm going to ASSume the K7XX is going to be an all around victor, but the MA900 is special enough to keep in my stable. If the bottom end didn't roll off and had a little less distortion in total - it would be awesome!
