SnippetsConclusion
Great for the audiophile who prizes the analytical sound, and has a powerful amp.
Conclusion
Though the purpose of this review was more to build a bank of headphones to compare open-backed cans to compare to in the future, the AKG K701 introduced in 2007 are still impressive to this day. With a great frequency response, extremely comfortable wear and open soundstage, these are a good entry to mid-level pickup for those who are fans of an analytical sound. Though these headphones have more or less been re-born through re-branding as the AKG Q701s, the addition of flashy colors and a new title haven’t changed their good performance. They aren’t meant to go outside with, but audio nerds chained to their desks will love these headphones.

$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
