Now, we’ve engineered it into the most accurate and responsive reference headphones we‘ve ever produced, the Q 701s. Hear music exactly as the artist intended in true surround sound.

Q701s employ flat-wire voice-coil technology, our patented Varimotion multilayer diaphragm and the AKG® neodymium-magnet system for sparkling high-frequency signal tracking and a distortion-free bass response. Q 701s produce balanced stereo separation and precision 3-D imaging in an immersive soundscape of unequalled realism.

'These are the only headphones I’ve heard that bring out the true sound we were striving for on records like "Billie Jean,""Thriller" and "Give Me the Night". It’s the best-quality sound I’ve heard, ever.'

– Quincy Jones

Q 701 specifications

The AKG Acoustics Q 701 is a premium pair of open-back headphones that has garnered acclaim for its exceptional audio performance and comfort. Designed for both professional audio engineers and avid music enthusiasts, the Q 701 delivers a pristine listening experience that stands out in the competitive market of high-fidelity headphones.

One of the standout features of the Q 701 is its advanced flat-wire voice coil technology. This innovative design allows for a reduced mass, resulting in improved transient response and greater accuracy in sound reproduction. The headphones are equipped with large 50mm drivers that produce a wide frequency range, from a deep bass response to clear and articulate highs, ensuring that every detail of the music is captured faithfully.

Comfort is another key aspect of the Q 701. The headphones feature a self-adjusting headband and plush ear pads made from a soft velour material. This design not only enhances comfort during long listening sessions but also provides an excellent seal, which helps to minimize sound leakage and improve overall sound isolation. The open-back design contributes to a natural and spacious sound stage, creating an immersive listening experience that allows users to feel as if they are part of the performance.

The Q 701 headphones also incorporate the patented AKG "K" sound signature, which emphasizes a balanced and neutral sound profile. This characteristic makes them an ideal choice for critical listening in mixing and mastering environments, as well as for casual listening across a variety of genres.

Furthermore, the Q 701 is designed to pair well with a range of audio equipment. With a nominal impedance of 62 ohms, these headphones can be easily powered by portable devices without sacrificing sound quality. However, they also shine when connected to high-quality amplifiers, unlocking their full potential and delivering an even richer audio experience.

Durability is a vital aspect of the Q 701's design. The headphones are built with high-quality materials that are intended to withstand the rigors of regular use. The detachable cable adds to this durability, allowing for easy replacement if needed.

In summary, the AKG Acoustics Q 701 headphones are a remarkable choice for those seeking a premium listening experience. With their advanced technologies, exceptional comfort, and balanced sound signature, they are well-suited for both professional environments and personal enjoyment. Whether for studio monitoring or leisurely music sessions, the Q 701 stands out as a top-tier option.
