Deal Details
Guitar Center and B&H sell these for $600!

AKG offers a very accurate and neutral sound---if you think one-note BOOM-BOOM-BOOM 🤣🤣🤣 Beats headphones are God's gift to audio, these are not for you.

Painless returns since they ship from Amazon.

2009 was still a relative age of innocence: long long before pandemic inflation, tariff inflation, and (latest arrival) Iran war inflation. $167 for these right now is a small miracle, considering all that.

Fair point, either way thanks for the post op! Headphone deals are always welcome. Repped!

Yes. Unless the headphone/strap says "made in Austria", they are made in China, under Harman.Here's a link to a review comparing the k-701 Austria vs china models. FYI: I did not read or vet this, so if it's garbage 🤷 ♂️https://www.audiosciencereview.co...ade.30900/
