I think AKG might have intended to give these cans a very weak clamping force. In exchange we get one of the most comfortable fitting headphones to date. There is no specific pressure point, not too much weight on the cups nor on the...

My current optimal 500$ setup is the AKG K550 + Fiio E17.   The K550 are 32Ω, which mean they're easy to drive. I had the E7 for a long time but recently upgraded to the E17 for a even better setup. The K550 are super clear...

Good review. I'm fairly surprised that the ATH900 seem to have bigger soundstage. I've always heard that the K550 have the biggest soundstage in any closed back headphone

I have the K550 and the XB500 here.    Unamped, the XB naturally gives more bass, the K550 are definitely the flat sounding ones. Though the K550 sounds much clearer.   With my fiio E17's Bass boost, I can make...

The difference between the HD515 and the HD595 are quite big. They are from the same model line, but one is the low-end model and the other is the high end one. They usually don't get compared since the HD515 are headphones which are...

Another upvote for the K550's. Brilliantly clear sounding and the soundstage will be beneficial for your occasional  gaming sessions. For a even better experience, I highly reccomend you to get a DAC/AMP combo, to bring out...

Can anyone tell me the differences between the E17 standalone and the E17+E09k combo in terms of sound quality?   I have a pair of 32Ω K550's. I know they don't need any strong amplification, but they do indeed benefit well...
