AKG K 270 Studio
Reviewed by LazerRay

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

Hey All and Happy New Year!

I'm in the market for a home theater system and need some help deciding what to get. Here is my background...I'am a college student so I'm not looking to spend too much here, no more then 400. Also, this is were I'm really getting stuck...as I'am renting an apartment I cannot really screw in speakers since I wont be there forever, and I cant run a whole bunch of wires all over the place so I was thinking of maybe getting a system that has wireless rear speakers but there are not many that I can find. If this doesnt work out I'm sure I can figure away to run the wires without it being a mess. So far this is what I have found...please tell me what you think or have suggestions! BTW I currently have a 47' Vizio tv if that matters...

Hmm why not dip into the used audio hardware market and get seperates instead of HTIB? You can even go solid + beefy 2 channel and hit strong fronts with some awesome floorstanders perhaps or go with a cheap AVR (non HDMI) and expand with quality down the road
