I tried buying from them on my first attempt to get these cans and it took around 2 weeks before he finally said that he didn't ship them. According to his feedback it happens a little more often than it should. He was very quick in giving me a refund though. Fascination is the only way to go, even if you have to wait for them to get some in stock.

I did some searching for a basic headphone with good bass and clarity over my $20 sony MDR's. I read alot of threads and saw alot of users mentioning the AKG K81DJ headphones and even read most if not all the post on the thread for it.

Huge thanks to you all, I ordered them sunday from headroom.com and got them tuesday with my X-Fi soundcard. When I pulled them out the box I was blown away at the feel and then when I played my first song I was just like stunned...

I listened and listened and listened to so much more music on my ipod's and on my computer, that I felt like my ears came alive each time a song came on. So honestly thanks to you all for the feedback you gave on them and the threads you took time out to give opinions on cause I only want quality headphones, for future use and I just placed another order for the Grado SR-80's as well.

Still gonna do a burn-in phase overnight and all day, but man it's great to be using a great pair of headphones.

p.s. Thanks for making me a Audiophile

I've recently come across these new offerings from AKG. As I mentioned before, I really can't stand the canalphones. Therefore, I decided to look into MDR-V6, HD201/205, HD280, MDR-XD400, DT250, K81/181.

Obviously not much info on these K81/181DJ as they're fresh for 2006. Even the findings of these headphones are not readily available, unless you check out our proud sponsors like TTVJ, Headroom. Supposely they're suppose to be the bigger siblings of K26/27.

Anyway, I see there has been some curiosity building toward these unknown objects. I fully intend to explore them on their virtues of comfort, sound, value, build quality, packaging, portability, etc.

Anyone else who like to share their opinion and findings on these cans, please be sure to post it here so the members will easily find the article on the latest supraural closed cans from AKG. Thanks.

I should be getting the K81 from Todd soon. I make sure to post some pix and comments soon.

The largest thread I could find would have to be the Music Game VI one in the music forums with a whopping 7,935 replies as to this date.

I was also wondering if someone could compare the differences between the K81DJ and K240S. I'm looking for a circumaural version of the DJs and was wondering how well they stack up.
