    AKG M220 semi-open studio headphones

    i got the same impressions you did in your K601 comparison when comparing my MS220 and my K240 (these two sound the same) vs. my K702. yes 702 is more detailed, extended and refined, makes sense, but also a different sound signature esp between mid bass and low mids. after A//B ing a lot...

    AKG M220 semi-open studio headphones

    Hi, thanks for the post. I got mine a couple weeks ago. They are awesome. I also got my M 220s because the earpads on my k240 S were cracked but mine still work fine. My k240 S are older Austrian ones. I think they sounded almost identical. The 240s are slightly better but I realize that the...

    also, i the K551 has a less fatiguing Hz response curve than the K553, ( harsh treble bump) discussed previously in this thread. check out the curves if you can find them..

    my k553s have the white plastic ring that covers the holes around the driver, but there are 10 holes it looks like, not 3.. in any case they are all covered. what people dont like about the k553, the treble peak is what really annoys me, usually the vocals and solo instruments sound...

    The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!

    thanks for the direct comparison ! oddly yesterday a K702 was listed on craigslist really cheap here locally so I'm going to go take a listen today. I'm not concerned about the bass at all. sure i like bass, but the music is in the mids and i don't really like closed back bass but it sounds...

    it would be great to try out the k712, but in the end i want a mobile solution and from what i understand the K712 is not that easy to drive. i kind of think, but cant know until i hear it, that the high mids and low trebles on the k712 is going to bother me, similarly as it does on the...

    The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!

    i will have to continue to revisit these things in my mind and ears and maybe over time i will have a better understanding of the relationship between my ears and the machines that measure Hz response and also the relationship between what i like and what other people like. maybe because i do...
