I have to say that the grey silicon olives are unbeatable to me with the spit / lollipop treatment. The sealing is tight and to me the shape is the most comfortable and easy. If you make the olives a little wet with spit before inserting (don't be disgusted, it's your stuff) and after...

  Quote:   There are two version, mine is the 1992 version of the first photo: with thw all metal plug. I lost the adapter, and AKG Italy sent me the newest which is to little to screw in. As you can see in the PDF Service Paper the old release no longer exist neither as spare part...

  Quote: And for these reason, trusting you I coupled my K500 with a HD650, after 15 years of AKG-K500 exclusive listening. I'm happy, happy to switch between them.

Episode 1: I asked my wife to find differences betwen my two cans without any kind suggestion from my side: She put on the AKG K500 and said: these have a sense of closer space opposing to the other one... the other one is more clear, more airy, more open... The other one was a Sennheiser...

Quote:   You're Right. A HD-650 with Silver Drivers is arrived home a couple of days ago. I plugged her in the amplifier... I took the courage, turned on the DAC and put The Earth Wind and Fire's Let's Groove in the CD Tray, waiting the critical moment, 5-7 seconds from 2:30 to...

I'll let you know when I'll get the XLR>RCA adapters thank you!

  Quote: I got the advantage to have one only full size headphone only.... I think that the best experience for me will be a complementary headphone that can help me to grow up in listening too. At the end I'll save some money: I have understood that the real upgrade hit a completely...

  Quote: Too steep for me... for now. However thank you for having inspired my question with your opinion in that older post.

  Quote:   Yes, HF sharpness is what I did want to define... Not always holland, but sometimes the K500 cause me a fatigue in listening: but it's also a kind of addiction, in which I stop for a while... and then I search for it again.

Hi guys, these are my first posts, so be patient with me. I want to buy a new headphone since I want digging into this way of listening a bit more seriously. I own an AKG K500 which has always been my headphone since 1992, she is like new and I enjoy it with a decent equipment.   I...

Hello all, I was asking if there's an audible difference in connecting my headphone amplifier directly to my DAC instead of the Record Loop of my Amplifier (a Rotel 1060).... I was asking because connecting directly to dac I'd need two adapters from XLR (DAC) to RCA (amplifier).   Thank...

Quote: I have to say that I don't listen rock. Most of my records are jazz and fusion, like pat metheny group, Mike stern, Scott Enderson, Jeorge Benson... swing too, like Jamie Cullum. Donald Fagen (which I love) plays a lot in my stereo..... and this is my serious side. But in...

Hello all, This is my first post,  so I'm a little bit excited.... I'm from italy and I've been listening music for years, playing it too: I always owned decent stereo components (the best for my pockets) with decent speakers, but in the last years I saw an evolution in the way I listen...
