    Reference-class headphones built to satisfy the demanding ears Quincy Jones.

    The AKG Q701 reference-class premium headphones represent a momentous partnership with AKG and one of the most accomplished musicians of the 20th century: Quincy Jones— an American icon whose productions include the best-selling album (Thriller) and single ("We Are the World") of all time. Quincy has received an unprecedented 79 GRAMMY nominations and 27 GRAMMY awards, more than any other living artist. It stands to reason that the headphones he puts his name to must be nothing but the very best—and the Q701s are the most accurate and responsive headphones AKG has ever produced.

    Reference denotes a class of audio equipment that imparts little to no change to the input audio signal, producing a huge, airy, three-dimensional sound. The over-ear headphones feature revolutionary flat-wire voice coils that create a spacious, dramatic soundstage with precise 360-degree imaging and outstanding transient response. Patented two-layer diaphragms similar to their professional studio counterparts offer sparkling high-frequency sound and accurate bass response. Additionally, a high-performance neodymium magnet system makes the headphones heat-resistant for minimal distortion at any listening level. The Q701s deliver pinpoint imaging with unmatched realism.

    Says Quincy, "This is the best quality sound I've heard in headphones, ever. And I'm proud my name is on them."

    Comments about AKG Quincy Jones Signature Series Q701 Premium Class Reference Headphones:

    These headphones sound great if you run them through the right equipment that can actually power them. Such as a computer or headphone amp. ie These were not made for a mobile device. Cord is very long and durable.

    What made me return these is that the headband was very uncomfortable in less than 15 min of wearing. Those bumps on the headband aren't cushion they're just hard bumps.

    Nice phones, Needs a Case

    By mister c

    Comments about AKG Quincy Jones Signature Series Q701 Premium Class Reference Headphones:

    Just like the other reviewer says, these headphones are nice. They sound great, and feel nice when worn. My only complaint is, that they should come with a case for transporting to other sessions. At the price they sell for, that should be included.

    Amazing!

    By Jordan-v0kxN

    from Canton, Ohio

    Comments about AKG Quincy Jones Signature Series Q701 Premium Class Reference Headphones:

    When i heard the news that world renown producer Quincy Jones, was endorsing headphones, I had to get them. And then to find out, it was an AKG product, WOW! These headphones are absolutely amazing! They are the closest things to actual studio monitors that you can get. They are not completely sound proof though, but they are meant for STUDIO work as in mixing and recording. You get an actual frequency response with these (no bass boost). I have the Q701's, worth every penny. The openess of the headphones, and the size of them gives you a real spacey feel like monitors would. ALthough they are pricy, if you are serious about what you do, then I recomend these headphones 100%.
