Wow. The re-brand of the AKG K701s nets another fantastic set of headphones, endorsed by none other than Quincy Jones himself. If you’re prone to writing off cans that come with a household name attached, that’s a mistake: the Q701s are stone cold takers, they’re piggy bank...
honestly some of the best pro quality headphones on the market, straight out of the package the bass does suffer a bit, but after listening to the Beatles "Revolver" a couple hundred times the bass cleans up.
Superb sound quality
at least 100 hrs; required break in time
According to a February 2011 NPD Group study, celebrity endorsements are extremely/very important to nearly 30 percent of consumers when deciding what headphones to buy. Moreover, there was a 75% increase in sales of headphones over $100 from 2009 to 2010 ... in a bad economy, no less.
A quality pair of headphones i would recommend for some audio genres (mostly classical & jazz music), although it is more than fine for other genres too. Great sound stage, one of the, if not the best headphones for gamers (FPS sound imaging, combined with dolby&eax is superb).
The headphone market has become saturated with celebrity-endorsed products that usually feature some sort of gimmick to make them stand out in the crowd. Not so with the AKG Q 701 Quincy Jones Signature Line Reference-Class Premium Headphones.
