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
The AKG Q 701s may be ludicrously big and green, but design isn't their real talking point (honest).
Big; open sound; Good for all types of music; Among the most detailed for their price; Very comfortable
Large to wear out and about; Rivals have more pep
In the Q701s, AKG has produced a truly excellent pair of Quincy Jones-endorsed headphones.
Excellent built quality; Great sound; Comfortable fit
Fairly expensive; Many equally good rivals
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.
AKG has enlisted the help of legendary music producer god, Quincy Jones, with its new range of high-quality headphones. Musicians endorse all sorts of things and for all sorts of reasons, and even good ones don't necessarily have good sonic taste – we can vouch for that from personal experience.
