Comparison: AKG K-81DJ and Equation Audio RP-21 Note: The k-81 is blu-tak modded and has the foams removed from the earcups. Hip Hop - Lupe fiasco/ Matthew Santos "Superstar" MP3 RP-21: Very detailed throughout the audio spectrum with tight, controlled bass but lacking in bass quantity...

Materials Needed: Big/Small Foam helmet pads Velcro Dots Super glue I recently bought a new bike helmet and it came with 6 extra pads. It made me think of this easy way to mod my SR-60's headband. First of all, heres a before picture...

Since I've had alot of spare time... I've been modding my SR-60's. I tried making wood mesh (with toothpicks) but it was too unreliable. I have moved on to bigger and better things (popsicle sticks). I took some sharp plyers and shaped 5 sticks into a circle the size of the SR-60's original...

It would be pretty cool to see how many headfiers burn in their new headphones. This thread will be a headcount. gl hf Oh, btw I burn mine in

My budget is $180 I listen to metal and rock I have no preferences, just the awesomest metal/rock can in my price range. (I may be able to get up to $250)

Anybody know where I can purchase wood earcups for the sr-60? (dont ask)

I have a $250 budget and i am interested in the following 'phones: Audio Technica Es7 Ultrasone HFI-550 Equation RP-21 Equation RP-15 Beyerdynamic Dt-770 My goal is to get a headphone with good bass- better than the k-81 (my k-81's bass is mud now) I listen to metal, thrash, hard...

hey guys, I've been happy with my k-81dj for public transit use but I feel that whatever bass impact it had has dissipated. It feels like the bass is getting muddier day by day even though I listen at normal volumes. __________________________________________________ ________________ Right...

My SR-60's arrived today and they have 5 hrs of burn-in on them. Now to settle the big debate: AKG K-81dj VS Grado SR-60. This comparison is done completely unamped with my unbiased ears. This comparison will not be completely fair, because my AKGs have close to 100 hours on them and my...

Hey guys, I recently bought a k-81dj and i really like it for portable use except when i used it at home it was somewhat uncomfortable and a little dark sounding. So out of a random spending urge for a home headphone (damn you headfi) I bought a grado sr-60 from the sound room and it will be...

I need a suggestion on some earphones I can use at home. I enjoy the k-81 sound signature but I would prefer something a bit more analytical targeted at home use, not portable use. I compared my k-81's to my dad's Bose QC2 and I was very shocked at how bright/ bassless the QC2 was. I...

hey guys, Im very satisfied with my burned-in k-81s w/ pulled out foamies as a portable solution but there is a small comfort/fidelity issue when listening to them for long periods of time at home. If someone can recommend me a nice open (or closed) headphone and an amp that works good with...

Hey guys, I needed a closed headphone for riding on the bus and was recommended the k-81 by multiple people. Now it has arrived and nearly has 45 hours of burn-in on it. Treble: It sounded very muffled at first but then I realized that there was a fabric foam pad in the bowl so I took it...

I have a budget of $175 So how will this work out... Beyer Dt 880's (250 ohms) $150 new Homemade Cmoy amp $20 Gold plated connectors $5 new Im thinking about running the 880's off my 2nd gen ipod shuffle with a homemade cmoy amp and I want to know if it will be good with music genres...
