Comfort
Very comfortable cans.
Short-Term Use (9.25)
The interesting band of the AKG K701s provide for a rather comfortable listening experience, as the headphones don’t seem to put too much pressure on your head, though they do grip it firmly. The thick padding and huge area of contact distribute their weight well, though you won’t forget that you have them on your head.
Extended Use (9.25)
Over time, the AKG K701s don’t feel any less comfortable, they don’t get hot, and they don’t pinch your pinna. As far as over-ears go, these are some of the most comfortable you can find.
Customizability (2.50)
Aside from removing the little foam bits underneath your ear pads, there really isn’t anything you can do to customize your AKG K701s. Still, we can’t imagine what you’d really want to do to cans this pretty.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
