Posted December 28, 2013 Hey guys. I'm currently using the ath-m50 and I love the sound, but the earpads are very small and I prefer the earpads like the sennheiser pc350 has, where the ear doesn't touch anywhere. Do you guys know what size are the akg q701? I'm also looking into the dt 990. What do you guys think?thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 28, 2013 From what I've heard, the Beyerdynamic ear pads are the most comfortable ear pads of them all (the velour ones). I'm not sure about the size.

Posted December 28, 2013 I have big head and medium ears, both headphones will fit and are both comfortable. The dt 990 is better, the q701 headband digs into your head after about 20 miniutes.

Posted December 28, 2013 The earpads on the DT990 are huge and comfy. In general I think they are the most comfortable headphone I've ever used. The only thing that might start to hurt after a long time is the headband, but I have this problems with I think all headphones I've had, so it might just be me.

Posted December 28, 2013 Author I have big head and medium ears, both headphones will fit and are both comfortable. The dt 990 is better, the q701 headband digs into your head after about 20 miniutes. Why do you think the DT990 are better? you mean spec-wise? edit: I've been reading that to take full advantage of the Q701 you need to have some expensive equipment. Is this true? The only equipment I have for sound is the asus stx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 28, 2013 Why do you think the DT990 are better? you mean spec-wise? Sound is subjective. DT 990's are a lot more warm, Q701's are more neutral. I was referencing the comfort - The dt990's are more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 28, 2013 Due to the STX, you should get the DT 990.
