Hopefully these will stick around longer than the Phantom Player version did, because by the time I needed a replacement they were off the market. If you have the K701/702 cans powered adequately and the music source you are listening to using AKG K701/K702 cans sounds to you to be strident or muddy, or has a thin bass, or whatever, its the musical source, not AKG K701/K702 headphones; being neutral and flat, they can only reproduce the true content of the source music. ***************************If the product was as pictured, that would be great. I had some similar ones and wanted more, but I couldnt find the ones I had original ordered. It is a clear tinny sound, but just to bright. Liguei na SONY e disseram que já era! I have read about cutting the tip a little to improve the highs but Im not ready to conclude that its necessary to try it but will update the review if I decide to try. I was only going to spend £40 max, but connectivity is obviously an issue lower down the price range, as is battery life. I have JBL Live 300tws earbuds, not AirPods and the silicone was giving enough that I was able to fit the JBL USB Type C cable in the hole for the Apple Lightning cable. These almost seem like they?re fakes.
