I know that the Shures aren't exactly full size ;) BUT! I am going to have some money soon, and I found a good price on the AKGs: $84.70 plus 20 bucks shipping. The SE215s always are that price, so i have no idea which one to go for! I would mostly be listening to music like Metallica but I...

I have a pair of SoundMAGIC ES18 which is great for quite a few of my genres of music, but find that it performs poorly with Power and Progressive Metal. I'm looking for full-sized, circumaural headphones, preferably open ones that are fast so they don't get overwhelmed by faster, and busier...

I've been doing some recording (guitar) with a Mac and an Ipad and I'm tired of using cheap headphones. I've got an old pair of 600 ohm K240's that I used to record back in the eighties and I would like to get an amp so I could use them again. I need an amp that has 3.5mm ins and outs and enough...

Hey guys. I have a question about my AKG K240s that's been bothering me for a while. I got them a couple of days ago, brand new from AKG. Just as expected, most all electronic music and the like sound amazing through these. However, when I listen to most anything involving a distorted guitar...

So after some research I found that Beats By Dre. are just over priced headphones that put out too much unnatural bass. I was looking into getting a good pair of headphones for the 80-100 dollar range and found a few studio quality ones, but I'm not sure which ones are better and what makes them...

I want to know your guys opinion on whether I should get the AKG K240s, the K141s MKII or another AKG set of headphones under 200.

Hey everyone,   I will be buying new monitoring headphones soon, and I just had a question regarding impedance.  Now it is my understanding that high impedance headphones need some kind of headphone amp to be able to reach proper listening sound volumes, but is that the only difference...

I currently have some Dr Dre beat solos but they are starting to crackle.....Currently i am looking at ATH- M50 and K240. I love to listen to music on my Ipod and computer so I want the quality to be nice. 

Just won AKG K240M from an auction on ebay.   I think they are later ones.   When did AKG stop making the K240M?     Regards.

Might be getting some AKG K240M headphones. They are the later ones, from around 2003/ 2005.   How do the later K240M sound compare the older K240M from 20+ years ago?     Kind Regards,   Shane.

Hey everyone, I need some urgent feedback and help on choosing between 5 headphone monitors, and since the local vendors don't actually have these models, I'm having it shipped and so I can't try any of them till I actually buy them.  I HAVE done quite a bit of research, and I have narrowed...
