    Samsung S8 / S8+ Sound Quality

    That's a decent review. I can't fault it. I don't have any extra comply tips, I need to order some, however I'm getting improved fit with just the tips from my KZ ZST. I was hoping for more from these but I'm also not really surprised with what they did here. Samsung design with AKG badges.

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I never thought to plug my Sextett into my V20. Maybe I should.

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I haven't had a problem with my 55ohm K240 Studios and my V20. Plenty of power.

    Samsung S8 / S8+ Sound Quality

    I work in a store with S8 demo models ont he floor but I don't think I'll get too much quality time with it for listening. And anyway, my favorite IEM is the old single BA Mee Audio A161P.

    Samsung S8 / S8+ Sound Quality

    Hands on with the bundled in AKG headphones is a little disappointing. The build quality is quite good for bundled headphones but it doesn't scream Harman by any means. The build and the sound signature are actually very Samsung. The mids are a little bit veiled on vocals. There's far too much...

    AKG K240DF quick first impressions... Now with pics!

    Yikes! The K240DF has been driving my Headroom Micro Amp into clipping. I've never heard that before so at first I didn't know exactly what I was hearing. I hate that Headroom never published specs on their gear. Plugging the DF in I just kind of assumed it would work.    So that means I need...

    It's 2017: good amp for AKG K240 DF's?

    I never thought about the Musical Paradise actually. I have tried similar products though like the Sound Quest SQ-84 (shop that owns Sound Quest is local), but I was priced out of that pretty quickly. The MP-301 looks like a great compromise. 6.5W is just enough power for my desktop speakers (AR...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Hands on with demo G6 just now at work. There is no HiFi sound options at all in the sound menu like on my V20. Lack of quad-dac confirmed. Plugged my Monk Espresso into the G6. Nothing like HiFi or High Impedance popped up on the G6 like it does on my V20.

    It's 2017: good amp for AKG K240 DF's?

    I have gone through the tweeks for the G2. If I could ask one thing about the Dark Voice, how does it do with the K7XX and other lower impedance headphones?

    It's 2017: good amp for AKG K240 DF's?

    Hey yall. See bottom of post for TLDR. I was super excited to win a pair of these off of eBay but I ran into a problem. For years I have been using a Headroom Micro Amp as my main headphone amp. It delivers for my K701 and doubles as a little preamp. It does struggle to power the K240 DF though...

    K701 thread

    I did the bass mode on my Q701s. I found that it worked but that the bass didn't sound as natural afterwards.

    K701 thread

    I modified my K701s (#42676) with the felt disks underneath the silver grates, from my Q701s, and the Annie pads. The plug on my original cable went bad but I opted for a factory replacement from Harmon and soldered it in myself. The mods have added a touch of warmth and a little bit more...

    AKG K240DF quick first impressions... Now with pics!

      I just got these K240DF EP's as an xmas present to myself. I'm probably coming up on ten hours listening. I drive them with a Headroom Micro Amp as well as an Indeed G2 w/ Sovtek 12AU7. These have the older baffle that the early K240M's had as well. I do not find these to be bass light...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    Roll Call for Team AKG

    I changed my attitude regarding the Sextett and picked up a pair of the LP's after months of not being entirely sold on the K240M and bass-modding my Q701. I am probably still in the honeymoon phase with these however I am jumping between rebuild/refurbish these Sextett's and sell everything...

    AKG K240-DIY-DF

    Full Compass appears to carry older replacement parts from AKG/Harman and they sell DF capsules installed in baffles for about $60/piece. http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/035675-AKG-2058M07020   SO.. if I have K240 Studios which I do not like and wanted to tinker with, why SHOULDN'T I buy those...

    You wanna know how old school I am?

    I  just picked one of these up on the cheap. How did your mods turn out?

    Roll Call for Team AKG

    Hey. Aspiring fanboy here.    Meh: AKG K240 Studio -used for web-trainings at work AKG K67 Tiesto -sound involving enough but I can't wear them with glass for too long   Portable: AKG K550 (felt disks tacked to the baffle over the driver) -hard to seal. can be a bit thin at times...

    Portable sub $50 headphones like Koss Porta Pro

    If you want something like the Koss Porta Pro but taking it to the next level I think you can't go wrong with the Sennheiser PX 100-II. They're currently $47 at B&H.

    pre-Harman AKG; what to expect in 2016?

      I'm expecting my Headroom Micro Amp to have enough juice for this. The Yamaha R-S201 in our living room is a wildcard. I don't know if the headphone output is driven the old fashioned way, off of the amplifier, or if it's a separate opamp.

    pre-Harman AKG; what to expect in 2016?

    I've got Q701's and K550s already that I bought after a channel on my K701 failed. I am only now just getting around to repairing them.    This morning I snagged a K401 on eBay and I've been bidding on a pair of K240 Monitors. All of my headphones are post-Harman. What can I expect the...

    AKG K 701 owner's thread

    I am sending mine out to get repaired by Headroom this week. About three years ago now, the wiring in the rightside cup came undone which I believe is a common issue. I can't wait until I can compare them to my Q701 and K550 that I purchased after the K701 went bad, as well as the K401 that I...

    IMac vs Macbook(air/pro) for source

    I've debated doing this. I have a 2007 Macbook that I only retired because of it's **** battery life. If plugged in all of the time it would be fine and probably perfectly suited to feeding a DAC as a source.
