yes, I read the whole article from front to back and I may have over generalized in my assertion that they "pretty much all stink".

Let me be clear as to my opinion vs Tyll's: anyone who buys a Celebrity "designed" or endorsed headphone gets what they deserve. There is the same SQ or better by some of the same mfrs for less money and he said that too. And by the way, I think the AKG K701 is one of the most over hyped under performing headphones to every come down the pike and I said so in the comments.

Whether or not jimmyjames likes the AKG K701s, it is yet another example of hyperbole to say these phones are "one of the most overhyped..." Compare the amount of hype ("over" or not) coming from AKG with Dr. Dre Beats and Bose, for example--both of which are MUCH more publicized (i.e., hyped and aggressively marketed/advertised) than anything AKG has ever put on the market. First jimmyjames says that Tyll Hertsens trashed all the celebrity headphones, which is factually wrong, and now this...

Jimmyjames, you and I and all the rest of us are certainly going to have differences of opinion, but it makes things muddy (or bloody!) if you stomp on facts or misrepresent what others have written.

  I owned the K701 and had it for a year and i will say that it was a good 250.00 mid tier phone. It does many things right and is a nice headphone with the right amp. it does like powerful amps. My top tier phones are all way better but at way more money,

I thought the Q701 was "cool". Not too bad for the street price.

You're still showing K701 in your inventory. Out of date or......?
