  1. Regarding the K701, well, I happen to own them. What might be regarded as interesting is that I use them to listen to EDM FM recordings (weekly). The resolution, plasticity, definition, tightness, nuances and the overall quality of the bass (if the bass is there in the recording, and it is very recording dependent - and recording are made by humans) the way it hits is, on the headphone amp I am using, with somewhat good source - breathtaking. Senn HD600 have different qualities, and are more of a blunt tool so to speak, in comparison, although very often put in the same box together with the AKG K701. Often neglected in reviews and opinions is how are these paired (and with what), burn-in time, as well as one small detail: the impulse response. It is not my intention to divert this thread to the debate about these cans, just a small digression. It's very easy to think of these as overly bright, lacking bass, etc. Although a bit off the subject, I cannot escape thinking about numerous opinions citing Staxes as not suited for the EDM music or anything with bass emphasis... ... well, guess what - I happen to believe that for exactly EDM the soundstage, airiness and well defined, well articulated tight bass and precise response is really almost more important.
