AKG went into orbit with bin-aural sound processing on board of the space station MIR. Wow I would like to hear those space hps.   I named those hps K240 SDF. (Space Diffusion Fields).  

This weekend I've got the chance to compare the AKG K702 (Mogami cable) with the Beyerdynamic T1 (balanced). I'll not go too much into history of those great companies, maybe just a quick reminder... The K-702 is the studio version of a long AKG headphones line that started with the 301...

At the last NorCal Meet, I did a blind test with my girlfriend between the HD 800 and the K702 on the SPL Auditor with the Ayre's QB-9 USB DAC. I started with the 800, which she immediately disliked and found them hard to listen to. She thought they were one of the cheaper models, and was...

I just finished printing my new album and I've decided to give a few promos to my fellows at head-fi with a special price of $10, with free worldwide shipping. It's electronic music, minimal tech that embodies my vast experience over the last 15 years. I'm sure head-fiers will have a blast...

Members of the forum have asked me about the differences between the Ultrasone models, so I hope this post will help you decide which model would be most suitable to your needs. My experience with Ultrasones began with the HFI 550, which were great headphones for me. Big punchy bass that...

    The following review is my impression of the K702, based upon working on mixing and mastering processes with them in my music studio. Today after 100 hours I can say that I can trust my K702 100% as my best studio monitor headphones. It's very easy to navigate with them through the...
