Indeed, and while you're at it make this upgrade, which sounds much better and is much sturdier than the stock cable.

Yes i know they have spare parts, anyways i decided to see how a driver would be replaced and stumbled upon a sort of plastic bubble that was dented like a tweeter kind off.

So i took my vacuumcleaner and popped it right out

Going to see if this fixes my problem, would be awesome since i love these cans

The heavier weight cable will have no sonic benefit, and the weak point on those cables is really the connectors inside the cans (I have been able to fix them in a pinch). A heavier cable weighs down the headphones, which is fatiguing.

Plus for $185 you could buy a whole nother set of good cans!

Further listening, with good headphone amps to be sure, and I have still never found a pair of headphones I'd call "reference" in the slightest. None of them remotely compare to high-end monitors. But some of them can serve as a reference for low-end vs. a poor monitoring setup...and for this I prefer Ultrasone Proline 750. Even though those sound pretty poor in general.

I dislike the K701 and i think AKG is pretty much a lost company at this point.

Vaccum cleaners are too brutal...the best approach to realigning an impacted driver is with some semi-sticky tape.

Yeah i'm aware of that so i used the lowest power setting on the vacuumcleaner and i was really quick(still not good i know), in any case it seems fixed now
