I have bought K712 before the plague and ended up returning them. There was a little more bass than Q701, which was nice, but he amazing treble of Q701 was gone. I found the “upgrade” sounding boring and generic.

To clarify: I have other headphones: HD660S, M1060C and each of them have something to offer as far as listening experience goes, just like Q701. K712 didn’t add anything new, nor was it an acceptable Q701 replacement.

Same, but I have some hope for the 440 lbs anvil in the shed.

You can’t get Q701s anymore… and K712 which was supposed to be an upgrade sounds like shit, so I keep repairing mine and postponing switching to the backup pair I managed to snag as new old stock…

The majority of HDD failures happen in the first 1-2 years (see Backblaze data). I have a NAS that has the same 5 drives running since 2013 and in all that time those disks were not spinning for maybe 3 weeks total.

That said I assume that any drive can fail at any time and anything I don’t want to lose has 2 backup copies, e.g. stuff I am working on on my PC gets copied to that NAS, that in turn backs it up online.

I’m more tired of dozens of reposts of the same porn that I can’t filter out because NSFW is a catch-all for anything 18+. I also have an issue with the quality of the said porn :-P

There should be calls to toss him into a volcano and they should be getting serious traction
