guys, currently looking at a prospective trade for a pair of akg k601's, would a total airhead by headroom power these fine?   thanks in advance   James

I've been shopping around for headphones and I can easily say that I'm pretty clueless when it comes to selection. I have been using Steelseries Siberia v1 (which are about to die as well as the mic) and I found them to be decent but I'm looking for something with a little bit more kick to them...

I have a Benchmark DAC1 and a AKG k702.  Since the DAC1 supports two headphones I would like to use two with it but I'm worried that two different headphones will result in two different volume levels due to sensitivity differences.   The AKG has the following specifications   ivity...

Many headphones are bright, and for those of us that have a problem with brightness, it would be fabulous to have people share their experience in on place.    The issue of brightness-sensitivity is not a matter of preference, but of physical discomfort or even outright pain.    I have...

I am recently a victim of this website and enjoy all the informative information it has provided and feel really reluctant to ask advice since it seems like beating a dead horse with all these other posts concerning this same topic. However, I have a slight difference in musical tastes and not...

  hey everyone! ^_^  im new to head-fi so forgive me if i know so little.  Iv'e read allot of forums discussing about the same issue but i thought ''oh hell what will one more do'' haha.   im having some trouble in making a deccission on what headphones to buy, my buget is around...

Well, I think the title says it all. I'm a college student with roommates who aren't always keen on listening to the same section of a song I'm working on played ad-nauseum over my near-field monitors, so I've decided to give them a break and get some good reference phones.  I've already got a...

Not to beat a dead horse (I've been reading about the debate over the AKG K70X sound), but I'm wondering whether the AKG's or Beyer's are going to sound better out of a portable amp. I haven't bought anything yet, but I'm looking at the TTVJ slim amp, the ALO Rx MkII, or one of Ray Samuels' like...

I've been contemplating buying a good pair of headphones for sometime now. From what I've looked at so far, I've been able to narrow it down to three pairs of headphones. Those three are the Beyer DT990 600Ohm, the AKG K702 Reference, and the Sennheiser HD595. Whatever I decide on buying is...

I need some expert recommnedations from you experts...   For my home rig, I currently have Denon D2000 and a Burson HA-160 amp.  I hook them up to a Oppo Universal player.  I'd like to get another set of phones to compliment the D2000s.  Something that will work well with the Burson and also...

I'm new to the whole amp/DAC thing. I have been looking towards an upgrade in headphones, I currently own SR60s and have been looking in the $200-300 range and have found a couple that seem suitable to what I would like in a headphone. While looking at the reviews everyone has said that an amp...

So i've read around about the differences between the 701 and the 702, and FWIR the only difference is the ability to detach the cable.   So do changing the cables really cause a significant change in the sound? if so, would it be better to get the 702 over the 701?

I have the Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones which come with a nice case, but I would rather carry around my K702s between home and the office.   Has anyone come up with any slick method for transporting these cans? Worried that I might damage them.

I've owned simple ear buds and in ear headphones. i actually bought a pair of fake beats by dre in ear headphones. did the job for a couple weeks then broke but hey, i bought them for $5 lol   I'm definitely going to pick up some headphones. Very tired of ear buds and in ear headphones...

hey guys, i've been coming here for ages reading threads so i thought i might join and get another opinion, especially since it often comes to personal preference.   currently im using a essence ST with the HD555, one thing id like to note is that i've read reviews saying these are weak on...

I emphasize on sonically. Because AKG China is doing a great deal of marketing over there, saying (translated) "Q701 is a [sonically] massively upgraded version of K701. It's sheer resolution massacres each and every headphone AKG has ever manufactured to date, except the K1000". Oh, and all...

AKG K701\K702 are ones of the most famous phones here and in every place who comes in touch with hi-fi\audiophiling. No smoke without fire, too many likes the K701\K702 not for nothing, but also much hates them. I would like to make this theard about K701 cons and pros.   For what you...

Hey all, was asked today by my aunt what I wanted for christmas.  I figured an amp was a decent enough decision, but figured I should tell her which one.  Family politics have dictated 50 usd as the general price point, with a few dollars give and take.  I have a set of akg 702s and re0s as my...

Trying to power a k702 with the RSA predator but read that it isn't good. Is it possible to use the RSA Predator as DAC feeding into another amp. I tried searching but came up with nothing.    

I am a complete neophyte with respect to tube amps, but am really interested in getting into them based on all I've read about the 'tube' sound -- Given that I am not knowledgeable about things like biasing and general maintenance, I'd be interested to get some advice on a reasonably priced...

I've just purchased a 702 and am looking for a headphone amp to go with it. I like the reviews members have given here about the Burson Audio HA-160, and honestly am leaning heavily in this direction, I am happy though to hear opinions about other amps though that would be a good match.  ...

I keep reading about jazz, rock, etc in these forums. Are there any opera fans here? What are your headphone experiences?

Hello all members of head-fi First of all English isn't my first language, sorry for that.   I need a suggestion. I know there is a lot of people using this machine,so its very helpful to me if someone can answer some questions. I use a pc and iphone4 with sennheiser omx95 now and i...

My Tube Audio Design TAD-150 Signature preamp has a phono out but I'm unsure of the wattage this preamp will lay down, it uses a large toroidal transformer but I have no clue as to the power output for head phones. I am thinking of purchasing AKG 702 for occasional use and I want to make sure my...
