Nice looking.

I can't imagine spending over $199 on headphones myself, but again I'm old-school cheap.

I'm considering buying myself a good pair of headphones...but "good" for me means around $50. I don't even own an iPod b/c I'm too cheap to spend the $150 it would cost to replace my water-damaged iPod touch.

Like I said...CHEAP.

I have a 200 dollar pair of Sennheiser's I got for a graduation present. I love them. cloud9

I am curious about the AKGs but I'm not enough of an audiophile to plunk down that kinda change.

...and if you happen to see my post on the watches thread and think I'm full of B.S. for thinking of spending almost $500 on a damn watch but not on headphones...it's 'cuz I'm into watches. PLUS, shopnbc gives you 5 or 6 payments to make on it.

I would love a pair of headphones

that does NOT boost any highs or lows,

but represents the range well.

I am keeping an eye on this thread.

I said "good"...not EXCEPTIONAL.

A Rolex isn't a "good watch"...it's a piece of fucking ART.

The IT guy here at work wears an old beat-up digital watch that he got from RADIO SHACK like 30 years ago...cracked face & all...because it's the most accurate watch he's ever seen.

Ok.........I gave these 701's a ride last night.

I'm blown away by the detail of these headphones.

I'm going 2 spend the rest of the week tweaking my studio raw mix 2 sound as flat as these headphones.

If I can pull that off..........lookout.
