JoshCraigThis is my insight, some years ago I had the original akg k701. At first I liked them. They had extremely clear sound and very open stage, but I always wanted more bass and I am not a bass head. I sold them and a couple or years later I was missing the akg signature sound and I got the Q 701. Not totally convinced I sold them as well. Just recently, last year to be more specific, I had a chance to listen to the 712 pro and I was amazed with the sound. I said to myself, akg finally made it. The only problem was the price they gave to the 712. I know they sound better than the k701 and q701 in my opinion, but I thought they were a little to expensive for being practically the same headphones. Then I saw this deal in massdrop for the 7xx and I place the order. I got the 7xx a couple of days ago and let me tell you, they are the same as the 712 pro, just with a slightly different name and slightly different color. I have never heard the 65h anniversary but from what I have read the 7xx, 712pro and the 65th anniversary are the same, only that the 7xx and the 712 pro have memory foam instead of regular foam. I am absolutely happy with this purchase, no rattled as other have reported. If someone is contemplating the idea of getting the 65th anniversary or the 712 pro, I would get the 7xx, no doubt about that.
Massdrop and akg really made it right with this deal. They where able to get the best of all akg 7 series, sound, comfort and looks (I love the all black headphones) for only $200.
Happy, happy, happy. This is very well invesed money!

Krakenthere is a significant difference in sound between the headhpones, but it's not due to burn in. I bought a 65th anniversary again to check. This is what i found. Treble is hightened, don't know exactly why, but : 1. May have added slight treble boost, 2. The construction is less airy than the k702 annies. E.G

K702 annies are open to a point where you can see the drivers from the outside, whereas, the K7xx are closed off in this aspect.

KrakenMy primary use is gaming, so i was less concerned with bass, mostly just being able to wear them for hours and a big soundstage.

New addition to the stable.

I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review

The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?

Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
