How do these compare to the 701 QJ?

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

I've not heard the "Quincy Jones" variation (no place around here to audition any of them), but from looking at the frequency response graphs on various websites, I'm guessing that those have a little bit of bass boost, while the 702's are more neutral in terms of bass response.

I had both.. returned the 701 q because the bumps are not comfortable after a while. I read that the 701q have a better bass reproduction.. But I could tell 0 difference in sound after many hours of testing.. went with k702 for comfort

The difference is as follows: K702 are open, and K701 are closed. Leather band K702 is smooth to the head, and under band K701 has protruding bulges are not so comfortable. Difference in sound quality almost none.

As far as I know the main differences are found in the headband, cups and ear pads. It's often said that they all use the same drivers are the same, but I can't be sure.

I have personally never owned the XB700's but they definitely have more bass than the original XB300's. I would also describe these XB920's as having more "accurate" bass.

I have a LC 70SQ15U & they work great so I would think they will work the same for yours as well.

Don't quote me on this but I don't believe much. I think that they are different model years. According to a Google search, they look nearly identical. When comparing their product specs, their product measurements are vary very, very slightly. I think the 700 is newer but don't believe they are appreciably different. I really enjoy my 700 and think it is a good buy. It was pretty easy to put together.

I've tried 701s with it and been quite pleased. It definitely has the tube experience and some of the tube warmth. For more, check out http://www.head-fi.org/t/685162/new-vali-schiit-amp/1575

The entire J- series is great so ou can't go wrong with either. The differences are subtle, but may be important -- depending on what you like. The J1 has a metallic body as opposed to the J3's plastic, and the J3 is a little thinner, so the J3 wins on lightness. The J3 has a bit fast lens, but it may not even be noticeable in practice. The J3 has few buttons on the back and you must go into the menu to access things that are easily accessible on the J1, but the back looks more streamlined. The one thing I absolutely do not like about the J3 is that the flash pops up automatically and must be stopped from doing so through the menu, whereas the J1 is only activated if you pop up the flash manually. I hardly ever use th flash so I hate having to de-activate it every time I shoot with the J3. So, while both cameras are superb, the J1 can be had for half (or less) than the J3. I am not sure the small improvements on the J3, and a little extra weight on the J1, are worth such a price differential.

CX300 sounds like the better pair here. you could also consider Creative's EP630 or 830. The EP630 is supposedly similar in sound to the CX300. The J2 might be #3 in this group, user reviews even make the first Jbuds out to be better than them! All in all, the CX300 is cheap and sounds great

As far as I know it's only a visual difference. I have the E751, and it sounds the same as the other. I would have preferred the E-750 as I like the wood finish better, but not at that price difference.

I am currently running Sundown SA 12's In the enclosure. Jl is great I have owned 12W7's before but no turning back for me. Only issue is they knocked off my rear view mirror. You can get SA 12s around 199 a piece, to me outstanding value for their insane performance

they are completely different. M50 are closed, transportable, rugged - better for dj, on the move... K701 are for home use only. max comfort, open (=of course much better sound). Adam, in-ear.com

I don't have this experience. I only fly planes. But as it is 7channels, I don't think you gonna have any issue. Those 7010 are remarkable.

Hi, Could not find much difference in the models. Mine works just great. Try either one & I believe they will be ok. cwr

In my honest opinion, I (being an avid runner / hiker) do not feel that any of the HBS series are good for actual jogging / running. I've owned the 700 and 730 myself. With this being pretty much the same design, the unit tends to bounce around and rotate a little around the neck. If you are willing to pay more, you might want to consider the Jay Bird X. I own those as well and prefer those for jogging / running. The HBS line is more of a everyday (walk / sit) kind of device.

I think the 70716 is a newer model. It's depth of cut is 3.25 (versus 2.75) and it's miter angle readout is more legible. I would pick the 70716 for those reasons alone.You might want to check with WEN and specifically ask them about the differences.As for me, I'm very satisfied with my 70711.

It is the speaker quality of this one that is better/ along with being thx certified. I currently have the step down model and am saving to get this one.

These are most definitely a step up, much more refined in the sound spectrum in most areas than the 700x. But these lean more on the mid bass than in the low frequencies compared to the 700x. The 700x can go deep and has a wider soundstage. But these have better clarity, imaging, smoother highs and a bit more forward sounding (Kinda like speakers). Both very easy to drive as well, but you'll have to be a bit more patient with these as they burn in longer. I recommend you pair these with DACS that are a bit laid back as these tend to be bright, both are actually bright. The HRT Music Streamer 2 or 2 plus is an exellent DAC to pair it with, very smooth and laid back and will increase the soundstage. Comfort and built quality are about the same, but these look luxurious. I also recommend you use tube amplifiers for these to remedy what is lacking and overpowering in the sound spectrum by tube rolling. Overall, there excellent cans and it's surely a step up over the 700x.

Yes. They are different. I purchased both to confirm this for myself. The Q701 is more musical, meaning a little more bass, a little less harshness to the highs. Get the Q701 for everyday use, and the K701 is your primary application is gaming.
