Which size is better for AKG 701/702/712, the XL or the XXL?

I dont have AKGs so i cant definitively answer this question, however I originally purchased the XXL for my beyerdynamic dt 990 (which are very slightly smaller) , and the XXL is way too big for it. Im sure the XXL case would be large on the AKGs as well. You would be able to shake it around and hear it knock around inside. Anyways, the beyers fit well in the XL. That being said, the cable on my DT 990s just touches the bottom of the XL case. This makes me think that you would have to unplug your cable to get your AKGs to fit in XL case without preventing cable damage in the long term.

I have got the xxl one. It houses my hd700 + amp + few other IEMs. If you want to house only the AKG 701, XL will suffice. If you want to squeeze few more items, go xxl. Anyway size difference is not much.

I don't have that one. I gave it as a gift but I would probably go with the XL.

The LP2 and M100's have the same size earcups and pads. In fact, aside from the hinge on the M100 and the colors, the design is identical. The XL pads will make the M100 (or LP2 and LP for that matter) more comfortable.

No sorry the new xl and the old xl are just a tiny bit different in size. It's worth it if u have the old one and don't want to upgrade to the new xl

I'd go with the XL. I switched tarps and keep my tarp separate, but leave the undercover on and keep them together in the skins.

Regarding Sound Quality, not much at all. The normal K702s are actually about the same price as the K701s. It's only the "Anniversary Edition" of the K702 that's supposed to be limited, which is why it costs much more. I own and use both K701 and Anniversary K702 regularly, and while they both sound amazing, it's very difficult to tell any difference between their sound. Also the K701's wire is a 3/4" jack that comes with a 1/8" adapter. My anniversary K702's wire is a 1/8" jack (this is the normal headphone jack size) that comes with a 3/4" adapter (for guitar amps/studio jacks/etc.). Not sure what the standard K702 wire comes with but with some more research, someone's bound to know. Also, I'm pretty sure the K702 wires are easily removable if ever need to be replaced, while the K701 wire is not.

I can only speak to my personal experience. my k701s are older I would say at least five years old. Not very worn though. they look brand new so they haven't had rough life. my q701s are the ones assembled in China. they both have the signature akg sound but they are distinctly different. all I had to do was play some zedd and with the q701 not only could you hear the texture of the electronic bass it had body and oomph. just enough. the k701 had no lower extension at all. the q701 sound more musical and fuller without that hardness of the k701. Sometimes I feel the k701 has a better Soundstage but that just might be a difference of hours used. My amp is a little portable amp but I think both would sound world's better with a really nice tube amp. but in answer to your query in my case yes they sound very different. In fact I was shocked how different. But remember my k701s are of a very different vintage.

Don't have the exact dimensions but I typically wear a 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 fitted hat, and I have not had any trouble with fit. I do have a problem with sound quality and durability on these. For the price these headphones typically command both should be better. I find plain old Beyer DT-770's or Sennheiser HD-25-1 II's are a much better headphone for durability and sound quality.

I bought this case specifically for my HD-280 PROs, and with the headphones folded and the coiled cord arranged in a circle around the inner perimeter they fit snugly but well, i.e. not much space left over when I shut the case, but nothing inside is being crushed or compressed. I'm not sure how much bigger the XL is, so I'm not in a position to say whether it would make things a little easier, or be too large and allow the cans to rattle about. I'm happy with mine.

I haven't had a chance to compare, but according to the ads, 1 XXL has double print capacity than 2 XL.

I wish I had these on me right now, but they're at a friends, I'm picking them up tonight and can measure the exact width for you if you'd like- regardless, these are WONDERFUL, especially for the $60.00 sale price- very nice sound, collapsable and high quality case make them excellent for camping/biking etc. etc. and I happen to be petite (5ft)/fun-sized too;). I usually have a problem with this style of headphone, but these fit me fairly well- I have Never been able to find adult/dj quality ones in my size, but this has been the most successful headphone purchase!! Hope this helps- take care ~ M I wish I had these on me right now, but they're at a friends, I'm picking them up tonight and can measure the exact width for you if you'd like- regardless, these are WONDERFUL, especially for the $60.00 sale price- very nice sound, collapsable and high quality case make them excellent for camping/biking etc. etc. and I happen to be petite (5ft)/fun-sized too;).

I would think so, my AKG K712 pro's fit fine with room to spare. Even in yhier bag they fit fine.

To be honest what I have experienced is these bands have been quite stretchy. Not knowing the comfort you are looking for I would go xxl since you will be putting in a phone or Ipod as well into the arm band. This is just my opinion though it's completely up to you.

I unfortunately can't answer your question, but I would like to know if you ended up buying these (or the XL version), as I just bought the Fidelio X1 myself...

I went with an XL just because I prefer a little extra space versus pinched ears. I normally wear 7 5/8 hat, if that helps at all.

I too have large ears and the stock ear pads didn't leave enough room. My ears had hotspots against the drivers. This is one negative about these headphones. However, the XL pads available on the v-moda website fixed this problem for me. The comment below that says these headphones are supra-aural is incorrect. The M-80 are the supra-aural model, the M-100 are meant to be circum-aural.
