AKG K701 Studio Headphones
By Mike Payne
The lifetime you’ve spent listening to music has been a blur. The unfortunate part is that you may not be aware of the problem. There’s a new world of music in all the albums you’ve listened to since the first record you bought on your own. To really understand the difference, I suggest a little experiment. Take your current headphones, coat the speakers with Vaseline, then listen. The difference these Austrian made AKG K701s make is identical, but in the opposite direction. Consider it this way– without having heard your music from the audiophile perspective, your ears have been coated in Vaseline until today.
We’re not saying the K701s are the end-all-be-all of audiophile music listening, they are a damn good start. If you’re looking for the right pair of headphones to explore your musical past, the K701s are it. These open-back studio headphones will have you blowing the dust off your old CDs and LPs and listening on repeat. You owe it to yourself to give this a thought– because until now, you’ve been committing the original sin of iPhone earbuds… for shame.
