Thanks for listening, you are awesome

Your 1st and 3rd bullet point leads me to believe that you will NOT like the M50 at all. If you thought Bose was uncomfortable, the M50 will be terrifying.   M50 also strays quite far from "very clear, realistic sound". I would look into the Shure 440/840 line or the KRK KNS 6400/8400...

I see, that's perfectly fine. I see a lot of portables mentioned in this section. Maybe list your music preference and budget as well

I personally like the AKG K840L, which is also my profile pic, but they have been discontinued.   Have you looked into Forum>Equipment>Portable headphones yet? they may have better response there

I did some research before buying the K518's, and found that Sennheiser HD25's velour pads will fit on the 518's, making it slightly more balanced. I haven't tried this myself, but just something to consider. Also try searching AKG K518 mod and you will find some useful posts to mod them...

Quote:   They definitely don't have isolation that I would characterize as "good"... Good would be something that could drown out a nearby chatter, or muffle the sound of a vacuum cleaner in the room. Incidentally, I'm wearing the HTF 600's right now, and I can hear myself type on the...

Thought you guys would like to know, The AKG K518 LE, LIME version is $31 on Amazon. Normal price ranges from $49~69.

I have auditioned both and have a few words to say. Tyll's opinions are simply his opinions; although a respectable one at that, you have your own unique tastes and preferences. To my ears, the UE6000's were good, but slightly muddled. But I prefer slightly brighter headphones.   I would...

Is it just me, or are the measurements on these earphones a Beast?     Source: innerfidelity http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AppleInEar2013.pdf   Here are some specifications   Source: Apple.com Technical Specifications Frequency response: 5Hz to 21kHz Impedance (at...

Quote: The shures are a bit out of the price range, so I'll look into demo'ing the 8400/6400! thanks

I had a brief demo at Fry's Electronics with them.   They are certainly good-looking and portable with incredible isolation. It almost felt as if I was wearing noise-cancelling headphones. They were quite comfortable as well.   I wasn't able to play anything out of the headphones...

The HDJ 2000's have a great mid-range, and a great bass texture to my tastes. I do find them a bit neutral for their 'DJ' label, though.

Pioneer SE-CL721-K  earphones black / red.

Saw a guy with Sony MDR-V6 the other day. It amazes me how I can distinguish the type of headphones from afar...

I do think these cans have a great sound quality. It sounds much like what a $300 headphones should sound like.   However, in my opinion, the Pioneer HDJ 2000's do much better at a lower price. (~$215 via Amazon / B&H). At $300 (or even near the $200), the Skullcandy Mix Masters lack the...

Nevermind the above post, I just realized the AKG K550's have 50mm drivers, and AKG K167 has 40mm drivers

Quote: Do you think it's possible that they have the same drivers? The graphs are very similar to each other. The variances could be due to structure of the headphones. The K167, being plastic in construction, appears to have more ringing.

Are you a basshead? AKG K167 have great bass extension and detail IMO

Quote: Excellent! I am in college as well, so I understand ;]

Quote: If this was true, I would have gotten all of my headphones from BestBuy..   Does Best Buy match the prices of Internet retailers? No. Unless Best Buy is running a test or promotion under this Guarantee that allows for Price Matching Internet retailers, we do not match the prices...

I'm interested in these headphones, but can anyone tell me why these measurements look so funky?

Refer to my profile picture!   Those are AKG K840KL, a very comfortable wireless headset. It had a harsh sound, but I still loved its wireless capability. I hope that was good enough to be in team AKG

If I were you, I would look into the following;   Creative Aurvana Live! (aka CAL): ~$60 on Amazon - great reviews in the price range. Sony MDR XB 400 (XB for xtra bass ;]): ~$50 Amazon - great isolation and comfort Pioneer STEEZ 808 SE-MJ751: ~$40 Amazon - never auditioned, but good...

Quote: Thanks so much for your pictures. They are on my cart until I save up enough for one ;]
