Posted August 7, 2013 is this about them being made in singapore or china rather than austria? meh I open up my computer case and I don't think I can point to a single thing that isnt made in china. I believe it is headfi over reacting to things. I think I remember some of the more level headed people who own them that haven't noticed any drop in quality. still. akg is a waaaay better solution than a steelseries or a razer product. Has nothing to do with where they are built, I couldn't care less. The problem I have is that they do not make the same level of products they used too. I love AKG sound, while a bit treble heavy, its great for rock. My problem is that every headphone falls apart in a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2013 And to think I was just considering buying a K 701 - why do you torment me so? K/Q701's are treble happy, 10/10 would only run off a tube amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 7, 2013 K/Q701's are treble happy, 10/10 would only run off a tube amp.

Posted August 7, 2013 I am assuming you're into Fps games which I would then recommend the Audio technica AD700 + this clip on mic or a modmic if you're willing to spend that much more. The ad700 constantly gets the reccomendation for ~$100 positional audio headphones. Either than that I would suggest sennheiser HD 558 since I personally own them and work very well for both gaming and music Across the vast and majestic gulf of time and space, the jimmies rustle softly.

Posted August 10, 2013 for music and movies I love my dt770 however it is only rates as acceptable for gaming. I'd look at a dt880 or dt990 for gaming Good to know, since I don't have experience with them. But the reason I would get the DT770 is because I prefer closed headphones and the DT880 and 990 are more expensive.
