    New headphone

    Hi all! I am used to closed back headphones. I really LOVED the AKG K550 despite it's bad seal. It always had a magical sound to my (untrained) ears. I am now looking for an open headphone though. My budget is max 400 euros (this is stretching a lot) but if there is a headphone that is 150 or...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Hey there. I just stumbled upon the magic of budget IEM's on Aliexpress, and I want to start trying an IEM.

    Question about which headphones

    It was a long time ago. I got my money back but I didn't want to risk getting another pair. How do you like the AKG K371 vs the HP150's? I do really like the sound signature of the HP150's! :)

    Question about which headphones

    The one I had was riddled with QR issues, left earpiece not working, hinge was already a weak point...That kind of thing. :-) No extreme environments at all! Do you have a recommendation of the two headsets that I mentioned?

    How to go from here? (Had AKG K553 Pro)

    This would be a good idea. But the headphone is not amplified enough on my phone, and my k553 pro is still, unfortunately, broken. I just tried it. But I can't use it for long periods of time.

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    So I have a question. I went to my local Shop to test the AKG K702, and while I liked the sound quite much, the treble is way too Bright for me. They hurt my eyes,not at all a pleasant Experience. I had the AKG K550 and loved it, not hurting me at all in the highs. Would you call this K7xx a...
