I can't imagine how the K181 would sound like when the K81 is very engaging, but I do detech some bass boom during my listening session, "The Mirror conspiracy" by Thievery Corporation. The lower echo was eating into the mid-range at certain times.

These AKGs have very forward presention. They're somewhat similar to Grado SR60 if I have to pick something in its character. Certainly not missing any bass at all, bass-present. However, mind you the airiness is missing due to its close back, but the soundstage is acceptable for headphone and cups this big or should I say this small.
