Solid choice
A year and a half in now, zero complaints. a solid step above anything else I've used in the past. I use them for gaming and music.

I've had these for over two years now and they're still going strong with daily use. Currently driving them with my Focusrite Clarett 2Pre audio interface. Absolutely fantastic headphones. The soundstage on these is pretty insane and I am a big fan of the relatively flat response. I'm able to use them for every day tasks like listening to music and watching YouTube while also using them occasionally for silent recording and mixing. Sonarworks also has these as one of the supported headphones for the Headphone Edition of Reference 4. So if you do a lot of mixing, know that you can definitely use these as your dedicated mixing source if you just invest a little in the Reference 4 software.

Good Movie Headphones
I mostly use these headphones for movie watching, but for other uses I feel like the 58x or the 6xx is a better headphone

Pretty good, but not as good as the 6XX
These are a pretty good set of cans, but I think value-wise they are bested by the Sennheiser pair (58XJ and 6XX), and the Hifiman HE-4XX.
Comfort:
These are comfortable headphones. They don't have the K701/702/Q701 bumps in the headband that for many get very uncomfortable, they are reasonably lightweight, and the pads are reasonably comfortable. They do have a bit of a tendency to move around the head somewhat, especially due to the large circular pads, but overall they are quite comfortable even for long sessions.
Quality & durability:
These appear to be well built headphones. The quality of the plastics and metal pieces is good, the cable is good. I have no issues with build at all. Durability-wise appears to be the same.
Sound Quality:
These are clear, reasonably detailed headphones with a strong midrange and reasonably strong bass. They are definitely an evolutionary step over the K701 and perhaps 702, and are somewhat similar to the Q701. They are reasonably neutral sounded.
The soundstage of this headphone is a real standout point - it's very wide and encompassing, and the imaging is very good.
The overall tonality and frequency response is not as neutral and realistic as say, the Sennheiser HD600/650/6XX, and the midrange can feel a little bit "shouty" as a result, but at the same time it can provide a bit of interesting colour - it's certainly not offensive. There is a bit of grain to these cans, but not a huge amount.
Need an amp?
Ideally yes, but not strictly necessary. These will drive to loud levels from a mobile device, but not super loud.
Conclusions:
A pretty decent set of headphones that's a little less neutral than the better value HD58X or 6XX, but has its own interesting flavour, and excellent soundstage.

The one that started it all
My first headphone above the $100 mark, which lead me to move on buy multiple headphones. Still a classic and will use it now and then.

Have used this for less than a year now. And it is great for long gaming session. But if you wanna hear how great it sounds in music. A tube amp is a must. Or a violectric v281. And lastly, remove the tuning filter they have put in the headphone as it will sound so much better without it. This K7XX really scales well with more powerful amps.

I have bought K7xx for many years and like it very much even I had T1 & HD6xx. K7xx is special in high pitch and very clear. The only problem is k7xx can not switch to balance system.
Personal suggestion, k7xx should use with a powerful & high quality earphone amplifier.

Good headphones
Needs to be powered by an amp, very comfortable to wear though. Sound quality is good, but not great.
