I replaced the pads on my AKG Q701 headphones today for the 4th time. It made me realize that I’ve used these headphones for at least 40 hours a week for 14 years straight. I’ve had to repair the left side speaker solder joint a few times, but they’re designed to be easily torn down and repaired. Truly BIFL headphones.

I’ve heard that the newer AKG K702 headphones are identical but I can’t vouch for that. They go for around $250.

    It’s a joke about you being a hipster since you hopped on ASMR “before it was cool”.

    The full joke goes “Why did the Hipster burn his tongue? He ate his pizza before it was cool.”
