BlackCatz 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Hi, im currently have a esw9 and a go vibe out from a ipod 6G. Just heard the akg 701 and totally addicted so im thinking of upgrading. I need something that driveable by my go-vibe. Any suggestions? 701 seems very very tempting to wear on the go now but will grab attention like nobody business Need the quality of the 701 with more bass Edited March 29, 2008 by BlackCatz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute0 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 The AKG701 is very demanding in terms of amplification, and probably not the best portable cans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

osocan 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 For me, the 701 is definitely not a on-the-go phone. It's not the looks, sound leak or amplification. It's the weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comacer 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I don't think ANY IEM can match the ESW9 in terms of bass and soundstage. The bass on the ESW9 is served in spades, having a wood cup and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dragonboy Report post Posted April 5, 2008 Can't compare headphones to earphones. Not very fair, bro. If you really insist on bring out the 701, I'll suggest the I-QUBE. Blends well with good transparency. But bringing out the 701 is a challenge. If I happened to see you out on the streets with the 701..... I'm gonna have a good laugh.
