I'm not one to buy super expensive cans - I have modded Sennheiser HD428's, Klipsch Image S4's and the terrible Corsair HS1A's. However, I do like decent sound quality. I love my HD428's, but I wanted to try something new. I ordered the AKG K142's on sale for $99CAD. I already have a decent...

I like the sound of 142HD, but it is quite uncomfortable.   Pad is pretty thin, and firm...   Are there any leather or velour pads (big ones are fine too) that will fit on 142HD?   Thanks in advance!

I've been itching to upgrade to some nicer headphones lately, and after some research today, I decided it would be best to make an account on this site and ask for some advice. First off, some background info: In terms of headphones, I used whatever was the cheapest for years, until I decided...

Edit: please close, found the recommendation thread. Sorry for the trouble guys

I can get both of these for the same price. So objectively, which sounds better? I listen to almost all types of music and play games often.

Hi everyone,       I'm a novice regarding audiophilia and I'm a bit lost when I need to precisely define my expectations.    I mostly listen to classical music and I'm looking for relatively affordable headphones, that I would exclusively use at home. I'm a broke graduate student...

Hi I want to buy some good headphones but I am kind of noob at this.   My price range is  $250-280 , I am currently living in New Zealand. This means that the overall prices are higher.   Sennheiser hd 598 $280 usd. Denon Ah-D1100  $260 Usd Ultrasone HFi 580 $333 AKG K142 HD $260...

Wanted some opinions to decide if to get them   Listen to Metal, Rock, Rap, Dubstep, and Hip-Hop

Hi there! So I have been looking for new headphones for about a month or a month plus and I keep coming back to nothing... SO I came across this website a couple of weeks ago and realized I should research, but there isn't something here that helps me to the point of getting the right headphones...

I'm trying to get into the audiophile scene... and I'm looking at the AKG 142HD's. I'll mainly listen to music on my macbook/iPod. Will I benefit by getting a portable amp, like the FiiO E5? I've read both that I need one, and that the AKG's are made to work fine with MP3 players. Just looking...

Just lookin for some basic info. clearly the 141 costs less and since AKGs are famous for getting better with age, buying a used pair of 141s will run about 80 or below. though, if there is a difference in the 142hd other than fuzzy cups and Mila Kunis ranked sex appeal, id like to have that...

Hi all! Could anyone suggest a well priced amp for that headphone?

I got my AKG K142HD's last tuesday evening. Got to say, sound quality was perfect, fit perfectly to my ears, and kept them fairly warm in the Norwegian cold. Until thursday... at about 9.35 on thursday, I have a study period, and I was quietly enjoying my new headphones when the left speaker...

Hi, went down to my local hifi dealer to get a pair of headphones for portable use, not walking or running though, will mostly be used on the train, busses, airplanes etc. Used my Iphone 4 for the tests.   Contenders are: AKG K518 DJ AKG K540 AKG K530 AKG K514 AKG K142HD AKG...

Hi Firstly, i would like to say that i am completely new to this topic. I have no experience whatsoever in the field called headphones compared to you guys out there. Second, i would also state that i did not know anything about the existence of something called a headphone amplifier thats...

So, I am looking to upgrade the quality of my portable audio situation. have both and iPod 6th 80 gb classic and an HTC Evo. My current plan of attack is to switch over to the Evo as my portable player, instead of having the iPod as a dedicated device (seemingly redundant). (Side note: I would...

The right driver in my AKG K142HD seems to have died. So I'm making this an opportunity for a change.   I dabble in some 'one-man-and-his-guitar' living-room songwriting and I do a little bit of sound editing and generic audio listening from DVD/Gaming. Thus, my source is invariably some sort...

I went from AKG K172 to K142.  I'm feeling the sound in the K142 (semi-open) is a much better than the K172 (closed). Is it because it's semi-open.  I'm wondering if the driver size in the K142 is larger than what's in the K172. I haven't taken it apart yet to compare but does anyone here know...

Hey, so I recently decided I wanted to get headphones that are of a quality that will enhance my music listening experience rather than keep it stagnant. After spending tons of time searching the web and going through forums I couldn't find anyone that had a request similar enough to mine to...

I'm looking at buying either one of these models to listen to records at home with. Which ones would you recommend for casual listening and why? I listen to mostly psych rock and electronic music as well as folk if that helps at all. Thanks in advance.

Back at it again, still have not found proper headphones to do the job...wah...wah...waaahh...   Iv been looking at the titles headphones because they seem to be the best and affordable choice for my wallet. I mainly just listen to jazz,house,trance,breaks. But the twist is that I game a lot...

I am currently only really able to buy from www.Tigerdirect.com because of a promotion and returns that are in process for me, so my options are pretty limited. I have seen the Sennheiser 280 HD Pro, 380 HD Pro, AKG K172HD, AKF K142HD, etc. Any of these would be better then a standard generic...
