Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition

Jul 25, 2017

Just got mine, and initial impressions are pretty good. I got some static as another user had mentioned, but upon reseating all the connections that problem seems to have went away. Build quality does leave a little to be desired. The plastic pin with the AKG logo on the right side wasn't mounted on straight, so the letters dip downward from the "A" to the G" a little bit, but I guess that's a minor gripe.
As for the sound, it struggles to reproduce details that higher-end headphones like the Fostex TH-X00 pump out with ease, but that's to be expected at the price comparison. Overall it's just a really nice balanced sound. I was surprised that at 62 Ohms, it makes my Vali 2 amp work pretty hard and I have to actually use the high gain setting.
These headphones actually remind me of my Sony MDR-MA900 in character and comfort, the difference being the MA900s have way bigger drivers and a more minimalistic frame. I would say try to snag a pair of those if you listen to genres that benefit from giant soundstages, but this K7XX is a bit more intimate and tighter in its soundstage and instrument placement. All in all, this was still a good buy!
