    A500 VS K271

    For what it's worth, I sold my A900s after I bought my K271S. I never used the K271S without a headphone amplifier, though, so keep that in mind. The K271 isolate better than the Audio Technicas for me. I was able to listen to the K271 without any fatigue at all, whereas the A900s fatigued my...

    Is amping A900s a waste?

    I didn't expect much difference when I connected my A900s to my PPA, and I didn't notice anything immediately obvious. However, when I switched back to the same source unamped after months of listening with an amp, I did notice a very minor degradation in sound quality, but nothing major. This...

    SA5000 Gone Bad

    It's like the A1000 all over again. I was actually just about to buy a pair of these, but after losing my A1000 to the very common broken swivel joint problem, I'm not going to risk it on another $350+ pair of headphones.

    The Initial Joy of Headphones

    I tend to hate new headphones when I get them. It takes me several weeks of listening to adjust to their sound and decide whether or not I truly like them.

    Headphones for college!

    I find the K271S to be perfect for college. Great sound, excellent isolation, and fairly portable. With your budget you may have to look for a used pair, though.

    is audiocubes trustworthy?

    I've never paid Audiocubes with PayPal before, but my other three credit card transactions with them went absolutely flawlessly. With credit card payment I got an order confirmation, an update that my order was being processed, and an update that my order had shipped. My MD33s arrived a week later.

    Bought AKG k271s

    Quote: Originally Posted by The Monkey Got mine today! And I'm really liking them already. Much better bass than I expected. Plenty of fun. However, I am hearing a fair amount of sibilance. Will that get better with burn in? I don't feel my K271S are sibilant at all. I do...
