Well Balanced Big Sound
Right amount of Bass with roll off at around 50Hz.
Big soundstage, very open and immersive.
Natural timbre. Except a slight peaky high end from 6Khz to 9Khz.
Very pleasing midrange slightly recessed with a peak at 2Khz.
With a EQ of 3dB in the Subbass and - 1.5dB in the treble Peaks and at 2Khz very good Sound and more involving and less into your face compared to HD 660S.
Overall id say a mix between Philips X2 and HD660S

Not bad but...
Quality of sound is really good but the quality of used materials isn't good, to cheap. I sold them after one week of using because they don't look solid.

Awesome
These headphones are very much to my liking, I had the entire range, minus the K701, but had the K702, Q701, K712, K612. I liked all of them.
However, the only ones that tick all the boxes are the black K7XX, because they are black, sound awesome, and have the soft pads from the K702 Annie / K712.
At the price I got them for, $150 USD with shipping included, they are a steal.

Good headphones
I've been wanting to try these after having owned the k702s, which had a lot of what I wanted but weren't quite right for me.
From reading reviews I've figured that these would be better for me, and they are! They're definitely more on the comfortable/easy listening side.
They fit nicely on my head, they're light and don't clamp much. More comfortable than my X2s.
They may be plastic, but at least that makes them light. They also look pretty good.
In terms of pricing, at $200 I feel they're overpriced (considering the k702s go for a little over a $100), at $150 they're decent value for money.
Only downside that I can see is the seemingly obvious design flaw with the elastic bands on the sides. When you feel the bands and look at them, they don't really seem to be made to last a lifetime.
Also some worrying reports about the internal wiring that can 'break' and cause problems.
I haven't used mine long enough to know if these things are actually going to be a problem, but it's good to know before pulling the trigger on the purchase.
All in all I'd recommend them.

Worked great while they lasted
Headphones worked wonderful for a while but the right earcup stopped working. Got zero support on the issue and was told im out of luck.

How long after purchase did this happen? Did Drop really not offer any solution?

mine also had this issue, but i will say.... Support helped me 100% send me a shipping label and allowed me to get a replacement and i shipped my headphones back. They had 3 options, (1.) Ship them in and get a FULL refund. (2.) ship them in and get a replacement free of charge. (3.) keep the headphones and receive a $20 a partial refund. I loved these headphones so much i just got a replacement pair! WOULD RECOMMEND!!!

Great sounding headphone but needs some tweaks to make it more comfy
I purchased this headphone with the intention to play PC games in them but I ended up using them for pretty much everything! They sound phenomenal. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the head strap. It isn't strong enough. The headphones start sliding down the side of my head almost immediately and they basically rest on the tops of my ears. The pads are very comfy, and they are wide enough that my entire ear fits inside without touching anything. But unfortunately the earcup do slide down my head until the tops of my ears are helping hold the headphones up, turning what could be my most comfortable headphones into something I have to readjust every couple of minutes. If you have a wider head, these cans may fit perfectly for you. I had to knock a star for it though.

I wish that more headphone models had multiple size options, or at least better adjustability for different head sizes (and different head / ear shapes). I definitely don't have your problem with these headphones, but, if anything, they are a tiny bit too snug for me (my head size is well above average).

yeah these are too loose for me but better with the rubber bands. I did just notice that the clear plastic bands are cracking from age and use.

I got these in their first release...they work perfectly still and haven’t had to worry about them at all. They’ve been around the world with me and I’ve never been disappointed with them!

mediocre build quality
Got 2 pairs back in 2015 and both have the same build quality (and problems), everything feels cheaply made besides the earpads and the leather headband. The elastic strings making the headband adjustable lost their elasticity after less than a year (ended up having to use superglue to keep a correct fit for my head...).
I'll say the sound quality is great, if you can drive them.

Gamers - now would i recommend these to pro gamers or people trying to go pro that's a no. why? cause not only are you spending $200 Stones on headphones but you will and i mean will need to GET A DAC / AMP and that'll run you another $100 - 300 Bones depending on your whale status. although i have been using these for competitive gameplay and it's been awesome i think most people would rather just get what these big pro gamer streamers have which are closed back plug and play. again i will state these are for people that love tinkering with their settings like i do. Final Thoughts - now if i remove the small cons of these headphones and if your bank is looking nice then... YES buy . are you kidding me only $200 Coins DUH. getting a good dac / amp with these and jamming out to your favorite tunes or even playing Minecraft with the boys you will get instantly immersed in your own world. 9/10 *ps - please please please don't just read this and think you will have the same experience as i have had with them and not think and buy. please do your research before buying ANY audiophile headphones. there is nothing worse than someone new getting into audiophile headphones and getting there entire experience getting ruined because they didn't do their research. “Question everything.
