As a proud owner of the K501 – my daily drivers since the early 90s, this will be the second serious headset i will ever buy – blindly. The AKG soundstage is brilliant, construction is lightweight and comfortable, and i welcome the bass boost for gaming.
TheFuIt's been 15 years since I regularly used the K501, but I distinctly remember them having a very airy quality. I'm really enjoying the K7XX, but they're not airy like I remember the K501.
ginsbuI am buying replacemant parts for them right now to make them like new. I will never sell them. Looking forward to having a nice addition to the team.
