Rank your headphones. Please rank your headphones that you own and use regularly. Please don’t list or rank headphones that you use to own or that you have tried. My goal here is to have a positive outlook ranking, not a product bashing list. I figure that if you own and use them, you must like...

Hey i recently purchased the dt880 as my 600ohm headphones. They arrived today which is the fastest shipping i've had from the us. However, looking at the the fedex invoice the description was "refurbished audio equipment". The box didn't come sealed and it was full white not orange like i've...

I didn't like the stock earpads because it's too small for my ears.  These AKG earpads fit pretty well and did not effect the sound.  These headphones are really really nice sounding.  It's a bargain at $100.          

Hello there Head-Fi. I've been reading this non stop trying to decide what headphones to get and finally decided to just join and ask. I'm very new to the whole audiophile business so here we go.   I'm currently using a pair of on-ear JVC noise canceling headphones that I got as a gift a few...

I wear a pair of AKG 271 and get strange looks all the time...

I´m looking for a good budget amp for my AKG 272. Right now I´m using a small portable Little Dot Micro +. Fiio E9 is maybe my best choice? I´m also interested in the Head Box Mk II. Any AKG owners out there with any experience of these amps, or perhaps any other suggestions?

Reading the forum I often find comments about closed vs open headphones. Some even say that closed headphones are not for them. Other than isolation, what generally differienciate both family? I only heard and have open headphones in my inventory, sorry if this question is quite basic for some.

I'll be buying studio headphones to record audiobooks: a flat, revealing midrange is thus my priority. The headphones should be closed or at least semi-closed, to prevent leakage into the microphone during tracking. I already own a pair of Etymōtic HF5, but they're fidgety to put in and keep in...

Hi,   I was almost on the verge of buying the AKG K172HD but find that it sounds alittle sibilant with female vocals especially poorly recorded ones. The set I tested is totally new and I was wondering if there are owners who can verify if it is really sibilant or it will disappear after...

Which headphone is best for studio mixing? These are the TYPE of famous recording/mixing studios I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ording_studios I ran out of space and left off many headphones such as the Sennheiser HD280 PRO. Feel free to vote for any other...

Hello, I need to buy some headphones only for studio purpose. I have a friend that uses DT770 and suggested me to start with AKG K-121 Studio. It's not absolutely necessary to be opened headphones but I heard that a studio pair that's closed would be more expensive. I would appreciate some help...

I just got a 42inch plasma and instead of going with a speaker system which would clutter my room to much and annoy my parents, I think I want to go with a good pair of head phones. The plasma has a head phone jack. I've been hearing good things about the akg 271. Are they good for my needs?

Can someone please measure the other demensions of the ear pads? I was thinking of using those earpads for my MB Quart qp-850hs and AKG K271 headphones.

My friend is looking for some headphones, and, being a huge band geek, loves classical music. Does anyone have any recommendations? He'd preferably like a closed, around-ear >$200 pair. Thanks for any help!

Hi Headfi'ers,   For the past weeks, I have been orientating on these forums and other sources, and it was a great help. Starting off with a list of 25 headphones that I found on these forums, I have been able to narrow them down to 5; but then it stops.   The headphones that I have on...

I am planning on ordering The Beats By Dre tomorrow and I want to be sure that I am making the right $300.00 decision. I have been trying different headphones and I can't seem to come up with a better sounding solution for my needs. The Beats By Dre in my opinion make the music out my D2 come...

Hey guys I'm debating between these two I like the design of both equally however the P5's will be better for portable use however what do you think sound wise is the better choice?   I liek listening to acoustic,metal,rock, and rap , sometimes classical   thanks

Hey guys I was wondering about the AKG 271/ 272 and how well it did with an ipod I do not have a portable amp just one for my desktop computer/tv. I am very interested in purchasing some however I'm getting mixed reviews on how well it does without in amp on something like an Ipod   Thanks

Hey everyone,   for a few reasons, I had to sold mine HD595+amp, which I liked.   Now I need headphones for classical music, which are kind of more durable (not extreme use, but I travel little bit more now), are closed or semiopen (I would prefer lower sound leakage and better...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking in this forum for a while, and I have to say that it provides me with extensive information about audio gears. I finally registered as I have some questions to ask regarding how the HD428 compares to SRH440.   I normally listens to J-Pop and K-Pop a lot, which...

I've narrowed my search down to these 2 pairs and I feel like the last factor has come down to aesthetics. I've heard you look ridiculous wearing the K271's due to their massive size, even though I prefer the look in terms of the headphone alone. The ATH-M50s look rather lackluster by themselves...

?

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...

My K271's recently fell apart and I've been looking at some cans for under $300 to replace them. The main thing I'm wondering though is if I'd notice much of a difference between the K701 and K271 since I'm mainly going to be using it to plug into my comp (onboard sound) and won't have an amp...

I've been looking for these headphones everywhere and I have no ldeas. Any help would really be appreciated:
