There is AKG K518 LE which is discontinued by manufacturer? should I be worried?     Extra Q:should I buy a AKG K518 or Panasonic RP-HTX7.

Hi All   I hope it's ok to post this beginners question here.  At times - not always - I have to do highly concentrated work in a big chaotic open plan office, and it's driving me to a breakdown!  I worked out that with my budget of £100 ($200 roughly) I can't get pure noise cancelling...

I purchased these against the recommendations of some of my homies, LOL...I just had to try them. I got the yellow ones from Amazon for $45.   As of late, I've been wanting a decent all-rounder that has a slight lean toward bass. Used to run a Dell Jukebox with Senn EH350's back in the day...

Hey guys, I'm a newbie at headphones, but I've gotten a $70 Amazon gift card. I have been looking at buying portable headphones for a long time but never got around to it. After looking around, I came across the K518's.   From what I've read I'm liking them a lot, but I'd like your opinions...

Hey guys, I'm new here.   Ive had my AKG K518 headphones for 2-3months from now and I gotta be honest, I love the bass, but it can be weary after using it for half an hour or more. I'm looking for a better headphones with heavy-bass(basshead), and very comfortable and non-weary. My budget...

I'm wondering which of the two has better overall sound quality which is really fun to listen to? Let me know your thoughts! :D Thanks!   http://headphonescout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/61n5Rxv35ZL._AA1200_.jpg  ...

Just wondering if someone could help me decide between these three. They're going to be a gift for my friend and I can't really decide which ones to go with.  I live in Canada, so I'm not able to quite get amazing prices like those who live in the US. At the moment, I can get the AKG K518LE...

Looking to purchase a pair for the girlfriend's birthday, and found them both on incredible sales. The K518LE for $35 and the K450s for $60.   Anyone have experience with both? Which is superior and why?   If it helps, she'd be listening from her iPod touch and would be using them at...

Hey, im new here, just a heads-up lol. Anyway, im looking for a pair of headphones, not earbuds, that have great bass and look stylish too. I also ask that they be no more then $150. Right now, i have a pair of skullcandy hesh, and they suit my needs, but im looking to step it up a notch...

Hey guys,   im looking for some good headphones. I am a big fan of the AKG K 518 LE but the cable is always broken after 1 year of usage. So i wanted to ask for some other ones. I like On-ear headphones more than over-ear´s. It should not cost more than 100€ :P Do you guys have any ideas ?  ...

Hello, Head-Fi'ers!   I did a rather glowing review of the PX 100-II a few days ago. To those who haven't read, I had these bad boys for almost 10 months now. I can say that this pair marked the end of my search for the best budget OPEN ultraportable. However, I find myself craving for a pair...

I'm currently in Australia, we have an extremely limited range of headphones (mostly just gaming headsets) and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a pair of headphones. I would like a headset better, but I heard you get better value for money if you buy one with no microphone. I'll...

I ordered a K 81 DJ from an internet shop. Today I received an e-mail saying the AKG K 81 DJ is no longer being produced and was out of stock. They contacted the AKG importer for my country and he doesn't have any in stock either. Has anyone else heard anything about this ?. As an alternative...

hi,   i have the AKG K518 headphones and i like them very much. Great sound and really good wear comfort and thats for 50€ - thats great. There is only one problem, the headphones look really big on my head. A friend has the WeSC Oboe headphones and they nuzzle on the head (i hope this is a...

I've replaced pads on some other headphones before, mostly Sennheisers. Are the K518 pads replaced the same way, by pulling out the retaining frame that the pads are wrapped around? It seems like it's very tight and I don't want to risk damaging anything by prying with a screwdriver since I like...

Looking for a headphone to listen to R&B, Soul, Pop/Rock, Lounge, Trip-hop, Nu jazz, Chill-out on portable devices (nokia, iphone, ipad,etc.)Help me choose between AKG K 518LE, Audio Tech.ATH-WS55, Beyerdynamics DTX-501p 1) well built 2) portable (not necessarily pocketable) 3) have near...

having sold my full-size closed phones for something more portable I settled on the AKG 518LE (mainly because Amazon was selling the red ones for $45).... sound is great, perhaps a tad lacking in detail but I'm happy enough considering they're portable cans. BUT they are not the most comfortable...

  Dear Head-Fi community!   I'm planning to get a set of headphones, around $50, my first one i was thinking about was the Skullcandy Agent(though i read a lot of bad things about it afterwards), my second one is the Sennheiser HD228, they are similar in price in my country. Please help...

AKG K518 DJ Review Hello i have some AKG K518 DJ's with maybe 40 hours on them and have decided to review them. The only other cans i have to compare them to are the Panasonic RP-HTX7. Box: the AKG's have a very nice looking box, quite simple but attractive. Build quality: they feel very...

I currently have the ATH-ES7's and have been pretty pleased although saw the AKG's and was curious how do the compare and for what types of music? Thanks, Joe.

Hi, really interested in buying a pair of the HFI 450, especially since its only about 90 dollars. Some pre-buy questions:   -Are they good to use with an iPhone  (don't think I have all my songs as 320 or high end quality...)? I listen mainly to classic rock, alternative, some rap/hip...

So I gave in and decided to get some AKG K518LEs after a dozen hours of research. I got my iGrados over the holidays, and I totally ignored what 'open' meant... and saying that iGrados leak sound like a mofo is a big understatement :P , since I have to turn my cans up to ear-damaging levels to...

What are some of the prettiest headphones with good SQ? I'm trying to think of some awesome headphones for her birthday   So far, shes obsessed with her yellow and pink Sony Piiq Triqiis, but they don't have very good sound quality...   - These are the cans she has. She loves them  ...

One day after visiting the Apple store, my girlfriend decided that she wanted a portable circumaural headphone for office and library use.  She likes the sound of my AKG K450 and the K518LE, but she doesn't like the fit of either of those for various reasons, so she was really stoked to see this...
