    Disappointed with the AKG K550 – Where is the bass?

    My K550s have plenty of bass. Not sure what you are talking about. My music preferences range from Progressive, Downtempo, Acid Jazz, Hip-Hop (not rap), ect...   It isn't skull crushing bass, but it definitely isn't weak. Made my Q701s feel like I have been missing something this whole time.

    DT990 600 ohm vs. HE-400

    I agree with the small write-up. It has actually helped me making my choice as well.   I think I will be getting the HE-400 now instead of the DT990.   I mean, lets be honest, what's a $100 these days when I already have 6 pairs of headphones

    DT990 600 ohm vs. HE-400

    I was thinking about this same thing just the other day. I plan on getting a set of the Denon D2000 next, but after that I was in the same dilemma on what to do.   There is definitely a price difference in the HE-400 vs DT990, but the question is the ~$100 more worth what you would get out...

    Which headphones would you choose under these conditions?

    I have owned my DT880/600 for a little over a month and absolutely love them. Very comfortable on my ears, solid fit so they won't fly off your head, and a great overall headphone I can use for anything. I have been considering trying out the DT990/600 for improved bass response to see if they...

    AKG Q701: Are these authentic?

    It looks like a used set from Amazon Warehouse or something.   I think you should contact Amazon directly with your concerns and they will definitely make things right. I wouldn't accept those.   In addition, they don't look like a replica pair. Everything matches up as I compare my pair...

    AKG K550 + electronica

    I enjoy my K550s very much for electronica / dubstep / progresive, but as another member mentioned, the Denon AH-D2000 would definitely be the way to go if you can get ahold of a pair.   I am in the processes of selling my K550s to get the AH-D2000 before they become too hard to find.  ...

    2012 Headphone Meet @ LAX Hilton - Saturday, August 18, 2012 - OFFICIAL THREAD

    Just to clarify, self seating is no table, correct?   I didn't need a table anyways as all I am bring are a few sets of headphones.   I noticed that the DT880s aren't listed so I will bring those. I'd love to hear the difference between these and the DT990 in person.

    2012 Headphone Meet @ LAX Hilton - Saturday, August 18, 2012 - OFFICIAL THREAD

    I look forward to meeting everyone this weekend.   I will bring a few sets of my own cans as well even though everything I own is already on the list. (aside from my HD590's and ATH-A900x)   I am more interested in getting acquainted with amplifiers at the present time.   Anyone...

    AKG K550 Review.

    I truly enjoy my K550. I have owned mine for about a month and given them about 4 hours a day to get a solid burn-in.   The sound is really opening up and becoming much more clear. Seemed a bit tinny at first, but have smoothed out nicely.

    2012 Headphone Meet @ LAX Hilton - Saturday, August 18, 2012 - OFFICIAL THREAD

    Is this event newbie friendly? I'd love to meet some other head-fi'er and check out some higher end gear I wouldn't normally have access to. I have a few pairs of cans I could bring if neccessary. AKG Q701 & K550 Sennheiser HD590 & HD580 Audio Technica ATH-A900x and some other lower end cans...

    Time to ditch the Sennheiser 598s

    Originally my plan was to pick up the HD598s as the successor to my HD590s, but ended up with a pair of Q701 which I haven't become a huge fan of. I find it lacking for the music I listen to.   I still absolutely love my 590s, and wanted to see what I was missing with the newer tech that has...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Quote:   I took some time to read reviews, and it seems to be that the majority of users recommend something else for bass heavy music. In comparison, my HD590's still suit my tastes better than these Q701's. Hmmmm....   As most users tend to have another pair of cans in addition to...

    Q701 impressions thread

    I purchased a set of Q701's off a buddy of mine of has had them for 6 months and ~100-150 hours of use on them. I can't help but crave some more low-end out of these cans.   Am I expecting too much from these or have I ventured into the wrong set of cans for my purposes?   I primarily...
