Hello, These are the three choices of headphones that I am looking into, but there are mixed reviews and camparisons on all... so it's leaving me wondering, which one is the best all-round headphone?   -AKG K550 -Denon D2000 -Beyer DT770 Pro [80, 250]   I am looking for a pair of...

Hi, I've been reading reviews and canvassing opinion on a new headphone purchase for a few days now, and think I've narrowed it down to one of these three:   Beyerdynamics T70 Ultrasone Pro 900 AKG K550   I've decided against open phones, so these are the three closed cans that...

Im looking for the flattest freq response and best mids.

  The bottom line is that these AKG K550's right out of the box sound like K702's with a +2db boost to all frequencies lower than 500Hz.  So if you favor the AKG flavor, slightly thin-sounding mids and bright highs, and need closed-back, look no further.  Comfort is off the piston - The Denon...

Hi, as the title suggests im looking for a amp/dac combo under 200$ that i can use with sansa clip zip and AKG 545 , ill also be using this with my laptop.I took a look at the fiio X3 which looked really good for portable use , but can it function as a amp/dac for my pc as well? Also thoughts on...

I did some searching for this comparison, and most of the threads I read quickly side tracked into people talking about Denon headphones, so I figured I'd start my own.   I'm looking for a closed back headphone for work and travel, I really like my DT880's which makes me lean towards the...

[UPDATE] Friend has convinced me to spend more since I plan to use these for as long as I can, and that $160 extra isn't that much over a span of 3-5 years.   I'm currently deciding between the AKG-K550's and the Denon AH-D2000's. Does anyone have any comments about these? Or other pairs of...

Recently purchased a pair of AKG K550s. They have been out of the box less than 48 hours and have been used very carefully, so I was amazed to see the cushioning peeling off, especially after hearing about the great build quality.   I know it has no effect on the sound but these are hardly...

I have the fiio e17 for an amp/DAC. I can't decide which of the 2 headphones to buy, quality over portability or vice versa? I want to use them on the go, but I also don't want to sacrifice too much SQ.

Has anyone re-cabled or shortened the cable on their K550's? I actually like the supplied cable, but at 9ft it is just way too long for my intended use. It strikes me that simply cutting and shortening the cable at the plug end would work well for me without requiring the much riskier...

Hi there, I am not sure what to do. I have the option of buying the AKG K550 for £170 (I'm in the UK) and was wondering if they would need to be amplified (my pc sound card is terrible, but what about my HTC One X, does it need a portable amp?) and was also wondering if there are any better...

I finally narrowed down my choice to between these two to use with dragonfly but can't decide which one to go for hence need advice from someone who has experienced both , I will be using it with audioquest dragonfly and like to listen to all sort of music me key requirements are treble should...

I will be using these with a Dacmagic XS. Which would be better? I listen to all types of music, from Disclosure to Wilco to Sixpence None The Richer.

Which one would be better? Just using the FiiO E10 itself or Xonar DG(X) Sound Card with the FiiO E11. If with the sound card which one would be better? The DG or the DGX seeing as I am using these headphones for mainly music and gaming. Thanks Guys, ~Newbie

Hey guys, looking for a decent amp to pair with my Fiio E17 to power my q701 D5000 and k550. Looking for something decent for my desk in res essentially. It needs to be under $200 but if good sound can be had cheaper I would love that. I have been looking in to tube amps but I am not sure what...

AKG K550 vs Audio Technic ATH900 (Closed headphones battle)   Build and quality:   K550s weigh about the same as the A900s,  size difference the A900s are similar sized cups but the wing system and headband make the A900s a lot bigger,  also the cups are more wider on the A900s and stick...

Hi everyone! I had my AKG K550 for a while now, and i mostly loves them, but sometimes i wants more bass to my music Which is often classic rock and Linkin Park. I have done alot of research on this and have found the fiio e17 e11 digizoid zo. So without the bass boost I wants something that...

Hi guys    After a lot of research I think I about to plump for a pair of AKG K550s to replace my Monster Turbine IEMS (found them to uncomfortable but liked the noise isolation with good sound quality yet a decent amount of bass which I have found have lacked in heaphones I have owned in...

I have seen mixed opinions on these two headphones, and i'm stuck between these two, i'm actually stuck between a lot of headphones and I've been jumping around on the market looking to see whats out there and these two look like they would make a good comparison, so if you had these two sitting...

Sigh.   I just got a pair of K550s that I ordered from Headroom, and found out that the arms of my glasses break the seal needed for proper bass response.   I got them to use for recreation as well as recording vocals in my studio, so I may keep them just for the studio, where their...

I recently bought the NuForce Icon HDP (DAC/Amp) but I have not yet chosen what headphones to buy. After looking around quite a bit, I have noticed that the AKG K550s are generally held in high regard (especially in the 300-400 dollar range). I can not, however, pull the trigger on them quite...

Hi there everyone, I use my computer for 20‰ music, 50% movies and 30% gaming. Im looking for the best soundcard, without an included amp, I can get and the warmest and bassiest amp i can find with a low impedance rating good for the akg k550s. I heard the O2 amp was good with those cans but...

I have just gotten the V-Moda XS and I feel like the bass is a little too much and like the sound is a bit too congested for me.   I would like to know if you guys would recommend the Sennheiser Momentum (Over Ear) over the V-Moda XS and why. If not, please tell why you would recommend...

I have narrowed down my options into two headphones the d600 and the k550. Has anyone who have ever tried both headphones please recommend me if the d600 is worth the higher price tag?

Hi all,   I'm looking for the pair of headphones which has the best sound quality while also being comfortable with reasonable isolation. I plan on using my laptop alone to drive these without the use of an amp. I will use these to listen to music of which i listen to a range of  genres so...
