you can try the AKG K271 MK2, just got it and damn i love this thing so much

^ after i came back from the gibson tour truck where they had these massive headphones for guitar testing. my pc sounded utterly crap, then i got a macbook, and it made my pc sounded more crap i'm planning on spending around 70 bucks perhaps? dunno whats a good budget for a good amp tbh. i...

woah i just read the stickies. way too much info for one night. can anyone just suggest me a good amp or soundcard?

first off.. im a complete newb when it comes to this type of stuff. i just bought a akg k271 for my guitar recording/listening and gaming. when i was researching about the akg i heard alot of people saying you need a good amp or sound card or a tube amp to bring out the goodies. so now my...

cool thanks for the replies. i do have another question. right now i'm using the onboard sound drive on my pc. i realized the difference between a standard onboard and a good sound card when i purchased my macbook recently. further more after reading about amps on this forum i don't know if i...

i recently purchased a AKG K271 mk2, after the purchase i snooped around a little and found out some people are saying this thing lacks bass and it leans more towards classical music and such, now that got me worried a bit since i bought this headphone for heavy rock-metal guitar riff recording.

i have narrowed my search down to two headphones. my genre involves heavily around rock n roll to metal. and i'm also a guitarist so i'll be definitely using it for studio purpose. thanks for all the replies!

i heard the m50 are superior compare to the sony v6 in every way. the v6 are nice but the m50 are just way better, went to a store yesterday and tested both out with some of my def leppard songs

to John Willett: yes i'm buying it mainly for tracking, the sound engineer i work with at the studio recommends closed headphones as well. but i do intend to bring in my headphones to the studio since i dont fancy using other people's stuff especially headphones since i dont trust some of these...

thanks for the info, but i'm still leaning towards the m50 or the akg 271 mk2, i do have another question, since i play mostly rock and blues and most of the metal. will the akg 271 or the m50 be cut out for it?

alright. i just went ahead and placed a order on the akg k271 mkII model.

does the m50 have detachable cable from both end? i know the akg k271 does and that would be great since i have a bad history with busted cables

so it has came down to the akg k271 and the audio technica ath m50. sigh..this never ends/

so its just as good? i found a b-stock one from a power seller for 120. its a online store and they said they are authorized dealer of akg so full warranty is included.

thanks for the info and heads up. i do have a question though, what is a can

WOW ok on second thought. i think i'm gonna go with a AKG K271 studio. however there are apparently two version?? the mkII and the studio. are they the same with different names or are they two totally defference product.

ok. i'm now officially more confused. i'm getting so many mixed reviews its driving me nuts. i honestly don't know which one is better than the other.

until they fell apart? can you give me some examples so i may avoid anything in the future. i'm not really into the conspiracy thing, but i do care is which headphone is the best bang for the buck. as of now i'm very leaning towards the sony v6 and will probably order it tomorrow since i'm...

hm i'm not familiar with that. how does that sound compare to the sennhersier and more importantly the sony v6. so far from what i gather its sony v6>hd 555> 280 pro. can some one confirm this? thanks

wow no one?

yes i just finished reading some reviews about the sony v6, honestly i quite like them despite the mixed reviews, so i guess it still narrows it down to 3 choices, sennhesier HD 280pro sennhersier HD 555 or the sony V6. i'm kinda leaning towards the v6 since even on the bad reviews they...

idk how much a difference between mixing+dj and guitars. but i'm pretty positive there are some. i'll stand corrected if someone can confirm i'm wrong. sorry but i'm a total newb when it comes to model numbers and references. but i did google it and i got beyer dynamic? is that the one you're...

hello everyone, my name is kyle and as you can see i just registered, i have come to a dilemma, i'm currently an active musician in college and i have just set up a mini recording space in my room, been where i'm i can't exactly use my amp everytime i wanna throw down couple of riffs on my...
