Another proud antipodean member of Team AKG here... Previously Owned: k66, k204s Currently Own : k271s, k81dj On the 'Agenda': k501/k601 PD

so,VR6, i assume that you own the k81's, k501s and k601s? I own the k81's and k271's, but find since i use and love the k81's so much,i should check out some open cans. I'd also like something that could do the bass thump akin to the k81's more readily (i love those little cans) I was...

I've got a pair of k271s and run it through the headphone out of a Echo Layla audio interface (so headphone amp quality is good, but not on par with anything dedicated) I've had mine for about 16 months, and mine have had the bluetac mod, acoustic foam added, and i've made a better quality cable...

so with this clinical characteristic in mind, would the k601's (described as being both dark, warm and more rounded off, as well as being described by Tyll as 'great rock cans') be a better option for a pauper uni student who loves the AKG house sound but hates excess of treble, and wants to...

Being quite familiar with the Tonelab and POD type units (working in a musical instruments store) I've noticed that the headphone amp and general output of the Tonelab isn't the best for capturing the organic,raw sound of an overdriven guitar. Don't get me wrong, the Tonelab is without doubt the...

I had a pair for a while (still do actually) I found them to be way too big for my ears, which are not particularly small. They therefore got painful quite quickly. One of the buds came apart as well (the silver plastic part on the back detached and the clip broke - superglue solved that...

I'm not sure if there's enough space, but looking at the 'post your headphone thread', it seems like a great project to try and ram the guts of a CMOY or PIMETA into the belly of this stand. Maybe get a plug in the back that would make it mains powered, and put a metal plate and some feet on the...

I own the k271's (as you can probably tell from the avatar). I find that they are quite comfortable, and sit lightly on the head. The self-adjustable headband works brilliantly (although makes an annoying 'creeak' sound through the encolsed cups at times). The cup size itself is decent, but the...

so, would waking up in the morning after sleeping with headphones on be considered a sonic morning glory?

The problem is that, at least down here in Australia, the price difference between the k601 and the k701 is significant. The k601 goes for about $450AUS and the k701 goes for $795AUS. My question is this: I concede that the k701 is clearly the pick of the AKG bunch (k1k excepted) however...

as a current K271s owner, and a true fan of AKG, does the k601 (next potential purchase have the same soundstage and mids as the k501. Seems that the k701 gets a lot of good press, and the k501 gets props for its mids, but the k601 never gets much mention. mods: accidental double post, please...

I'm biased, but really like the AKG k271 studio. They are fairly lightweight and very confortable (unless you have big ears) and very natural in the mids, and smooth non fatiguing highs. Bass is not excessive but adequate for most styles of music when listening in a hi-fi context. Works...

The velour pads will fit on both the k240's and the k271's. I bought them when I had my k240's and sold them for the k271's. From memory they seem to go on the k240's more easily, which leads me to think that the cup diameter is smaller on the semi-open AKG's. Putting them on basically...

Do you find the Beyer pads completely recess the mids and give a nasty hollow phasing issue? I bought a pair and don't use them. To be honest, i think the k271's sound the best without pads at all. Must be a proximity thing...

from personal experience, coming from a music recording/tracking background, i would hazard a guess that they are trying to appeal to the studio market rather just the commercial audiophile market. From my experience, i find tracking through bass-heavy cans like the DT770's particularly...

I've recently bought the k271's as my main pair of cans for general recording and tracking audio, as well as general listening. I can confirm, like many others do, that they sound very neutral and precise, whilst still being engaging as a listening source. I compared them with the HD280's, Beyer...

I've done quite a bit of hunting around this site in the last few months (and yes, my wallet shall suffer for it) and I've been looking for a DAP that will carry my entire music collection. I'm not overly fussed on colour screen, FM radio, sound recorder etc, but I would love to find a player...

I'd be curious about this as well. I currently own the K240S's and have just today sourced a cable upgrade. I've always really liked the 240's although I used them 1/2 for listening and 1/2 for studio recording purposes. I was thinking that the k271's would be a worthwhile upgrade for the spill...
