Hi all! I am used to closed back headphones. I really LOVED the AKG K550 despite it's bad seal. It always had a magical sound to my (untrained) ears. I am now looking for an open headphone though. My budget is max 400 euros (this is stretching a lot) but if there is a headphone that is 150 or...

Hey there. I just stumbled upon the magic of budget IEM's on Aliexpress, and I want to start trying an IEM. Unfortunately, my left ear has an extra cavity because of an operation, so I feel like IEMs are not for me but I want to try anyway with a budget one. When for headphones, I like neutral...

It was a long time ago. I got my money back but I didn't want to risk getting another pair. How do you like the AKG K371 vs the HP150's? I do really like the sound signature of the HP150's! :)

The one I had was riddled with QR issues, left earpiece not working, hinge was already a weak point...That kind of thing. :-) No extreme environments at all! Do you have a recommendation of the two headsets that I mentioned?

Hello everyone! After my Sony 1000XM3 died, I am in the market for new headphones. Soundwise I really like neutral sounding headphones that are leaning more bright than dark. Headphones that I had are AKG K272HD, AKG K550, K551, Soundmagic HP150, B&O H6, and B&O H9 (this is the one I just have...

What kind of DAC-HPamp would you get? I don't want to spend too much.

This would be a good idea. But the headphone is not amplified enough on my phone, and my k553 pro is still, unfortunately, broken. I just tried it. But I can't use it for long periods of time.

Hello, Head-Fi! I have asked this question on Reddit too, but I figured I could get both insights from both websites. I have a question. Right now, I have a Sony H9100N, which is a noice cancellation headphone. Before I had the AKG K553 Pro. The AKG K553 pro was a really nice headphone. I...

Hey, I was wondering if someone here had heard the AKG K550 (or K553 pro or K550 MK2's) and can compare these? Thanks! 

So I have a question. I went to my local Shop to test the AKG K702, and while I liked the sound quite much, the treble is way too Bright for me. They hurt my eyes,not at all a pleasant Experience. I had the AKG K550 and loved it, not hurting me at all in the highs. Would you call this K7xx a...

We Which later massdrop?

Sorry if hijacking a comment is not allowed, but did you have heard the AKG K550? If so, could you compare the HP150 against it?

Thanks for explaing that,  Thanks for explaining that, ProtegeManiac. I guess that's it! :) I find it rather hard to relax aswell, when tye are "in my head" that much. I am wanting to buy a new headphone, and I need a closed can. I think the AKG K550 will fit that bill the most, right now. ...

Hello everyone, I have a hard time explaining why I like headphones. Could you guys help me? I am not technical, but would like to be able to understand why I like certain headphones. Headphones I like: AKG K550 Really detailed, liked the dry (?) sound of it, projected sound far away. HP100...

Hello, I was wondering for the people that heard / owned / tested the AKG K550, which headphone would have a cooler sound signature. The AKG K550 or the HP150? 

Hey there! I was wondering if I like the cold signature of The AKG K550, would I like the Sound of The 1540? I had the SRH 840 but disliked the Sound immensely. I am wanting to Go for anothet k550 or this one.

I will first just get the headphone, and see how that goes. If I really like the sound, and I have some more money to spend, I will probably get the first one you mentioned. I am an Android user.

I firstly admire your ability of discussing in a friendly manner, Rainmaker and Rockstar! With that said, I am going to check up on the HP150 forum, to double make sure I am getting the right headphone. Get that this is not disrespecting your advice. Thanks again!    EDIT: nevermind, I go for...

Oh, ****. I am really inexperienced at this. Pardon my stupidity. I mean a device that's An amp, that can be connected to my phone.

Which DAP would be a good portable and affordable? Thanks! And where would I find Hi-RES albums?

I will definitely look into a good dac. Any tips? Right now only my phone. I never used a dac, but I listen to my phone more everywhere than at Home.

Thanks man! I am going to order the AKG K550. :) 

Thanks for that, man! :) Although, unfortunately, the AKG K550 MKII deal you sent me is not sending to The Netherlands. :( 

I am not that good at figuring out things like that. I know that I liked the sound the K550 offered, can't get it here anymore, unfortunately. If I like the cool sound of the K550, would the HP150 be adding to that sound or taking that away a bit? And the K545, do you know something about that?

Hey there! I was wondering which headphone would be better, when I like cool sounding headphones? The K550, K545 or the Soundmagic HP150. I had the H6 until recently and liked it, but I liked the K550 more. (Had it 3 years / 5 years prior) How does HP150 and K545 compare to the K550?
