    Help me upgrade from AKG K240 Studio headphones!

    I just found the MrSpeakers Mad Dog and I'm in love.   The look of an open back headphone with the sound of a closed back.    I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT.    But how does it compare to the M50x and MDR-1R?

    I wish the AKG had more bass, and I didn't like how sterile they sounded as stated above. I did like the suspension headband but they're a little too big to be out and about with. Very comfortable for long periods of time.   They'll be used for both on the go and for home, 60% at home I'd say...

    How do those compare to the M50x?   I'm more biased toward the M50x mainly because of the three cables it comes with, the 180 degree swivel, and the blue/copper color scheme.    If you have any other closed back cans to suggest under lets say 300, please let me know!

    Woah I love the look of the Amperior but I want a detachable cable, I looked at the Fidello X1 and they're gorgeous!    The Sony MDR-R1 look pretty darn good too and plenty of good reviews.   The Fidello X1 are a little bit over my limit but if they sound good I just might get them, they'll...

    Thanks for the reply!    As for sound I'm looking for..well I'm not too sure.    My AKG sound great but I've always felt something was missing but could never pinpoint what that 'something' is.    They feel...sterile, like a room in a hospital ward.    As for open vs. closed I don't mind...

    Help me upgrade from AKG K240 Studio headphones!

    Hello fellow gear heads,   I've had my AKG K240 for a year now and I think its time to upgrade!    I was looking at the new Audio Technica ATH-M50x but want some more options..    Looking to spend no more than 250 because I also want to get either the FIiO X1 or X3 music player.    I do...

    AKG K240 Studio Headphones

    Oops it seems I double posted, didn't realize. I was a bit distraught that it went out that quickly but amazon promptly shipped a new one with one day shipping. And hey, if it works don't fix it is what I always say. As soon as I can get both amps and test em out I'll let you know what I think...

    I do like the sound of that, thanks for the advice. And guess what happened yesterday, I'm walking listening to my Clip. The song finishes, and it turned off one final time. Never turned on again! Got my new on though and am returning the broken one, I had it for 5 days! The only thing that ever...

    I do like the E11, seems good. But it is twice the size of my Sansa Clip+! Now I'm having trouble deciding..

    Also, on some songs I hear slight crackle I believe its the song itself since it doesn't do it on all of them. And since I can hear all the detail it bothers me to no end! It seems to be mostly on The Black Keys songs.

    AKG K240 Studio Headphones

    Just casual listening, they sound amazing compared to my other -50$ headphones. I was thinking on buying an E6 amp since its cheap and small. I find them quite comfortable actually, wore them all day yesterday. No issues, I'm just waiting on the supposed "burn in". Yep! Not a problem. I was...

    Also, if any of you have used FedEx SmartPost I could use some info on what to expect. From what I hear it is pretty bad, and I'm starting to worry. I hope my package comes intact.
