Play 0.3 on G4 Mac OS X....Sounds much better than iTunes.

They probably sound awful with music, but I have noticed in most movies or TV shows, the same headphones used for any helicopter pilots that may be depicted....They have a certain shape to the outside cups....rather large, plain looking and rounded.....Does anyone know the particular make and...

PC USB ports are designed to handle a certain number of inserts and releases from a USB jack.....If you have disconnected from that port tons of times, you may have a worn out PC USB port.

AKG K340s here....   Still have the receipt...bought them on November 26th, 1986 new at Pro-Com for $170 US, a dealer that dealt with professional audio equipment. Pro-Com is still there in Pittsburgh

Quote: I stand correctedthen....I am looking at a old brochure I got in November 1986 on some AKGs, and it shows the K-145s that were also Elecrostatic-Dynamic and they do not have any AKG on the headband of any logo at all on the ear pieces...They just have "Electrostatic-Dynamic...

Higher frequencies come out more the higher the bit rate.....if the music is very bass heavy one would not notice as much of a difference between 320kbs and FLAC or Apple Lossless

Quote: The first version of the K240 that came out in 1975 did not have the Logo on them.....  

All I can find online is info about upgrading the cord on the K340s to Oxygen free copper cords, and they say my stock cord is "lamp cord"....My question is, what is so called lamp cord made from? Is it copper? I read online some years ago that the K340s have steel in the stock cord and not even...

I HOPE it was a Beiber joke.....If your really that into him, you would need to change something else before changing headphones ;) ;) ;)

OK, sorry about that....Wish thread starters could delete threads here.....As it is, you can only edit the body of a posting, not delete an entire posting. Anyway, it;s an interesting video

You-Tube has a TV show series video that shows how headphones are made, featuring the AKG K702s..... (I mistakenly said they were the 701s in the thread title, but can not edit the title....) Surprisingly simple really.... basically a copper coil vibrating a plastic sheet.... Video is at....  ...

Looked up some info online.... Apparently that is the maximum power input....For example my AKG K340s are...   Maximum Continuous Input (per chan.): 9V (200mW) approx. 117 dB SPL   The ones in question here are 100mWs.

Quote: There are web sites where one can generate a test tone at a chosen frequency....You can find one of those and have it generate a tone at 4,500 Hz and A-B that tone....   Here is a web site where one can generate test tones....   http://www.audiocheck.net/

Quote: That is the exact same graph that I made reference to earlier in this thread....Thanks for posting the graph. You can see the higher peak at 4,500 hz for the 325s  

At www.headphone.com one can build a composite frequency response for up to 4 different models. I made a graph for those 2 models, and they are very much alike, except for at 4,500 Hz...there the 325s are louder at that frequency....everywhere else there are pretty much the same, so one would...

Yep, the Beats are that bad.....Do your self a favor, and stop caring how they look, and get the Grado SR60i....You will thank yourself ;) ;)

I noticed from pics found on the internet, that the AKG K701s have on the box "Premium Class", and the Sennheiser HD595 have on the box "High end". Apparently those 2 terms are the new European DIN labels for the sound reproduction quality categories that replace the older DIN "Hi-Fi"...

I have for a long time been using my Grado SR60s first model, not the i version for my iPOD, and my wonderful AKG K340s in my AMP, CD-Tuner setup. For fun I got out the stock Apple ear buds that came with my iPOD and gave them a try again with my iPOD.....WOW, they really suck now. A bit...

I guess all tracks have at least one defect in them.....I have the Gold CD of the "Bad Company" album mastered by Steve Hoffman, and I noticed a small defect in that recording....I asked on the online board at  www.stevehoffman.tv if anyone else noticed it, and my posting was quickly deleted by...

Quote: Are those the ones that were used for the school hearing tests that were given to us in elementary school....it was around 1967 or so, and i remember smelling the natural rubber pads on those headphones.

Quote: Wow, 5,000 Ohms...that needs an amp for sure ;) ;) How do they sound compared to your typical Stax??? Granted it is not a Electrostatic, but it would be interesting to compare them to the Stax lineup of the past and present.

I would have to say that the AKG K340 Electrostatic-Dynamic Systems headphone should be included in the top 5 most innovative headphone designs ever..... What other headphone designs could be included in the top most unique and innovative designs? By design i mean engineering and method of...

I have a G4 Mac and use the Play program.....Play has noticeably better sound quality than iTunes does....so there are better options out there for the MAC....Play development has stopped at version .3 but works great. It's a universal OS X program, so will work on the Intel Macs also. Play is...
