4.5 stars out of 5

Good: good built quality, and good sound reproduction. Extremely comfortable.

Bad: Cable was not bullet proof, when I held it up to block a 9mm bullet, the cable snapped and broke.

Comment: I like the open design, it sounds like I am outside, or in a hall. Now, I can listen to excellent music as I bleed to death.

I own it

Good: Sound

Bad: Price

Comment: I have forgotten to say something about the AKG 1000 mentioned in the review. The price was incredibly low at the very beginning. I only paid in Spain 82.000 old pesetas, €296 (€1=166,386 pesetas); it was even cheaper than the Sennheisers 600 and 650. Later, the price reached more than 1000 dollars. With the passing of time I had to order to AKG Austria once and then to the distributor in Spain some leather pads I had to replace that AKG Austria sent me absolutely free qith a generosity I had never seen. The cables I ordered ito Madrid with some connectors were paid but the leather pads were a generous Austrian gift. Nevertheless, the true present is the spectacular sound of the K1000 (authentic loudspeaker left side number 04885). Those who like this sound can buy the K701, the sound is spectacular as well, in spite of the difference when listening; since the K1000, if correctly placed opening the moving earloudspeakers is similar to listening to a pair of professional loudspeakers in stereo sound.

Good: Sound

Bad: Price

Comment: In the past, both the 600 and 650 models had and still have a reasonable price. The new and greedy price is scandalous, ridiculous, irresponsible and unjustified. These people must be joking, they are not serious about prices any more.
