Ear Speakers-AKG Q701's or Sennheiser HD 598's???


My Sennheiser HD 595's finally gave up the ghost so I need some new cans & was hoping someone here could comment on how these compare soundwise.I have read a ton of reviews on the AKG K701's & feel that they are probably a bit too bright for my taste.I have auditioned several pairs of Grado's & MUCH prefer the Sennheiser sound but feel they could be a touch more detailed so I guess I'm looking for something that combines the warmth of the Senns with the detail of the Grado's.
Thanks guys,take care...

By miles the AKG k701 is better than the Sen HD650.

The AKG is much more dynamic, transparent and extended. I find the 600 & 650 headphones to be thick and dark with little headroom.

If you want to hear that HD650 "sound" done well try the Audeze headphones which have a thick and dense sound, but not at the expense of detail or dynamics.
