Interesting to see various opinions here. Unfortunately, I recognized my inner desire to collect beautiful headphones. Tempted to have both k7xx and hd6xx on my desk (with jotun)..

I think the only thing the K7XX does better than the HD6x0 is comfort.

I owned both contemporaneously and posted about my experience here (and in the few posts that follow): http://www.head-fi.org/t/755497/sennheiser-hd650-vs-akg-k7xx/60#post_11954887

Thanks for your advice, zonto!

As a previous owner of K702 and HD650, I mostly agree with your arguments. Particularly, timbre was somewhat inaccurate. But I borrowed K712 and am testing them now before making a judgement call, and surprisingly like a subtle improvement of K712. Interesting thing is that jotunheim was quite synergetic - almost magically!

Of course I admit I might be justifying myself THO. haha

Big like for that.

I was just listening to some of the complete cycle by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra yesterday. Enjoy!

Mine is closer to a sort of tolerate/hate relationship with them

It must be hard being half deaf.

Fellow idiot reporting in! I hate buying expensive stuff unheard and pre-order culture in general, but it's such a deep discount and I trust Zach, so here we are...

Still painfully debating myself. I generally like Zachs tuning, but buying a headphone blind with no measurements and only a few subjective impressions? Tough choice. (will get cherry eikons if I preorder)
