  Its $48.95 USD plus $10.15 USD postage.

  Or the ones shipped and sold by Amazon.com are $50.51 USD plus $11.02 USD postage. Combine that with a bit more purchase and the Amex deal and you can get free postage that way.

  Does the AKG Q 701 need amping?

    Will be much better with an amp

    Also note, I have been watching them for a while and $190 is not much of a sale, they have been $192 for months

        I like the Fiilo E17. Depends on your budget and sources

        @The Quote Train:

        I think the Fiio E17 at around 100-110 is a great DAC, personally I use one of these: http://hifimediy.com/U2-DAC

        Might not give enough for higher impedance cans, the AKG's look pretty efficient, but I'd be worried it wouldn't cut it if you wanted to play it LOUD.

    Definitely, they're quite difficult to drive for $200 headphones. Using them with e17s does not give it anywhere near enough power, o2 and odac worked much better.

  As darpy01 suggests, an amp will bring the best out of this headphone.
