Hey guys and gals, does anyone have any information on these and how they sound? I find them quite interesting as they are a two driver each cup design kinda like my k340s. I also heard that they used to be the pro studio standard and are in high regard. Ive read some websites giving them good...

I liked my DT880 better anyway but the Ultrasone pro 750 wasn't too bad. Just not as smooth sounding or comfortable. Today I went by Goodwill and found these for $6, quadrophonic headphones Realistic Nova44 (I use them in stereo mode from my Pioneer reciever ): Modded them to take care of a...

AKG K702, Q701, K701, K601, K550, K272HD, H271, K270MKII, K242HD, K240MKII, K240 Studio, K240M, K240DF, K240 Sextett, K172, K171, K170, K142, K141, K140, etc.   As the proud owner of an AKG K240M Monitor 600-Ohm headphone (and soon to add a AKG K242HD to my collection). I think it would be...

I've been out of the headphone game for some time now, focusing on my 2-channel speaker setup rather than headphones for the last two years. The last headphones I bought were a pair of ESW9 for $80 four months ago (audio-technica warehouse sale ftw). Though I have  been slowly but surely making...

I bought some lousy AIWA headphones about a year ago. At first the bass was ok and the phones were OK for their price (about 14$ ). Anyway after about three months the bass became distorted when I upped the volume a bit. This i guess is partly due to me listening m a i n l y bassy, speedy music...

Hello,   first post here, so fingers crossed this ain't a dumb question. I own a pair of akg k270's and I just wondered if anyone could tell me how these would compare sounds-wise to the GermanMaestro GMP 8.35 D Headphones?   I know build quality wise the GMP's are tank like.   I'm...

Hey guys, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I pride myself on my wide variety of music, and because of this I purchased a set of AKG K270 MKII's. I thought they would be everything I wanted in a headset, sadly they are not. The sound very lacking, and I miss the depth of the bass. They are-in short-...

I am currently looking for new headphones. I am currently using a creative fatal1ty mk2 headset. It's ok for listening to music, but not for thoroughly enjoying and feeling music. Before this I used a sennheiser HD205 which I just can't wear, as they start hurting really bad after about a...

Hi,   I'm new to the head-fi scene and looking to purchase my first reasonable pair of headphones. I wear cans for about 8-10 hours per day and I'm fed up of breaking cheap ones (usually cables and joints) so I'm thinking it is about time I invested in something that sounds good and lasts...

Hi everybody...   here's a bit of history for the "vintage AKG geeks" around here.     I like the good old K 270 and K 280 a lot and I was interested in their history, so I asked AKG for some details.     The kind folks at AKG clarified some things for me and since this may be...

Which headphone is best for studio mixing? These are the TYPE of famous recording/mixing studios I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ording_studios I ran out of space and left off many headphones such as the Sennheiser HD280 PRO. Feel free to vote for any other...

I found a guy on craigslist selling 3 pairs of k270s which all need to have one side repaired. I'm thinking the wires need to be re-soldered to the drivers, but i don't know too much about these headphones to take the gamble granted he is selling them for very very little money.    Main...

Pls someone let me know if MF X-CAN or Graham Slee Novo is good to pair with my vintage AKG 270 and Beyerdynamic DT990?   Thank you,

I just opened the Andes a few minutes ago, hoping for some awesome sounds but instead everything is distorted and broken sounding. I was trying to search for a similar help thread and someone with a slightly different problem described their sound as 'a broken FM radio' and that's pretty much...

Are there any full sized headphones with more than 1 driver? I see a lot of IEMs with 2,3,4 drivers and it makes a vast improvement for the sound. So why not full size headphones too? If anyone can enlighten me or knows of a headphone  thanks for the info!
