Hi,
does anybody know if pads from any other AKG headphones would fit K181DJ, I am looking for something that fits a bit more around the ear.
Thank you!

I remember there was someone who has used the Sennheiser HD280 pads. Wait, I'll look up the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/akg...padded-342493/

It only moves if you want it to, it never moves at all. I simply love these headphones, everything about them. There is no disortion, no matter how loud they are. Thease headphones are the sex!

Well, if they are siting on your head they won't move. If you have them off and you want to do something like this (that's not me):

they will easily go to that position. That or pretty much any other. I think it works great.

They're very light weight, 280g (9.9oz). I could wear them forever, if my glasses wouldn't be bent on the right side, that's why it start to feel uncomfortable on my right ear pretty fast, no problems at all with left ear though. So yeah, if my glasses wouldn't be bent I could wear them for a long long time.

Sound-wise I can only say they sound great, never really had headphones for more than 50€, so I really can't compare.

It should be okay IFF (geom hahaha) the sensitivity is ~100. I checked. It's 120.

I have the K81, no problems, but I wouldn't buy the K181. In the price range, the HD25 should be more comfortable. M50 is even better.

Whatever you buy, happy listening

put sticky tak in the inside back of the earcups, and the sound is honestly completely transformed. I can't listen to them stock anymore. Brings the mids forward, tightens the bass. and it's very easy to do and easily reversable.

WRONG headphone! This the K 181 DJ. Please no-one put sticky tak in their K181, you'll ruin it.

Should be plenty volume out of a laptop, but you should really be looking for a DAC/AMP to go with it. Onboard sound (straight from the motherboard) really hate low impedance headphones, they're noisy, the bass is sucked out, they distort at high volume, and (out of mine) there is such high crosstalk it sounds like mono.
