GreatMagicianWhere are you seeing $165 on amazon (US? Non US)? In the past six months, camelcamelcamel lists the lowest price (3rd party, six months) as $193 for a short time back in February. It seems to be hovering between $200-210 through 3rd party for most of April. $350 direct through Amazon.

GreatMagicianWhy not try something with a different sound signature? It's never made sense to me to buy 2 similar headphones. There's so much good stuff out there!

tiadI don't know if you meant to reply to me, but I never claimed they were. I was asking about his claim on the K702 price.

tiadIf you look at AKG engineering documents, K702AE which is the K7XX has the same driver as the K702. Only the K712 has slightly diff drivers.

PupperAs far as I know the K7XX drivers are from K702 Anniversary 75th and special selected/matched. But I must say, that I can hear some little differences between K7XX and K702 Anniversary. K702 Anniversary sounds for me a little better.

tiadMay be due to production runs and or driver matching, as mentioned earlier I find my Red K7XXs slightly better overall than my previous Austrian made K712s. So far I'm really liking these AKGs and IMHO the best one so far having owned the K712, K701s, K501s and K240DFs...and they've actually ousted my HD650s and HD6XX...all comes down to personal preferences of course.... : )

GreatMagicianThat's the "Million Dollar Question"....I haven't tried the 702s or the Annies but when I received my K712s they're were IMHO initially a large departure, with their warmer mids, more prodigious base and less airy highs, from the original K701s...that was until I swapped the pads and then I could not tell them apart???
search
But I didn't keep them long as I still preferred the HD700s and HD650s....
search

oddly as I previously mentioned I much prefer my current pair of K7XXS over the 700s and 6XXs ???...so go figure........obviously the pads make a big difference but other than that????

robert.burnsso you actually prefer K7XX over a 650?
I've got a pair of 598 and looking to add something better to the mix, having issues picking something though.

osmija Personal preferences... the HD650s are a tried and true and a very good headphone and difficult to go wrong if that is your choice.... but they just do not do it for me personallyā€¦.and Iā€™ve tried over the last 15 yearsā€¦. having gone through the HD580,600, 650 and the MassDrop HD6xxs. Itā€™s not that they do anything wrong, my first reaction is always ā€œthis is niceā€ but then I constantly loose interest in what Iā€™m listening to, they donā€™t challenge me and their overall signature is prevalent. The AKG also have their own signature but overall they are livelier, the sound stage will have more dramatic changes in its overall presentation, the tonality is less homogeneous and there is more perceived lower base. Now having said that the K7XX and HD6XX actually sound more similar than apart if one looks into the history of the K7 and HD6 series where sound signatures of the "original" K701 and HD650 could not have sounded more diametrically opposed. If I only had one headset to choose the decision may be a little more difficult....( mind you there are hundreds and hundreds and of phones out there).... if you like the sound signature of the 598s I'd actually look at Sennheiser's HD700s for "something better" and if for something as precise but different, warmer and more laid back the HD650s. If you didn't already have the HD598s then I heartily recommend the K7XXs : )
