Hello there This is my first post after looking through the forums and after checking out some information and reading a few posts and articles, I think I am ready to buy some better quality headphones. On the recommendation of Gary from Electric Avenues, I just bought the Koss Porta Pros to...

Hey guys,   Ive been looking at a few threads here and there, first time posting. I've just been using stock ipod earbuds and razor moray? earbuds, I have a Corsair HS1 PC headset at home also.   Im looking for something dedicated to my music (ipod touch4, or PC) I listen to a...

Are there are any mid centric headphones under $300, and can be powered relatively easily? Here are some requirements: Open or Closed Good Soundstage Details Mid-Upper or Lower Comfort I already have srh940, which I love, but I also want to test others. Thanks!

I'm beginning to explore this interesting world of head-fi and have some newbie questions to ask the experts here.  I have a couple of headphones: the ATH-M50 and AKG K702. I have an Audioengine D1 DAC/amp that I would like to feed into a headphone tube ampliflier, like the Little Dot MkIII...

Hi folks, I'd love to expand my stereo speaker system to include headphones. My current system looks like this: Densen B-410 cd player / Oppo BDP-95 blu-ray player -> Densen B-110 integrated amplifier -> Verity Rienzi loudspeakers As mentioned in the title, I'm looking for a...

Recently got some akg q701 and loving them so far.  I am an amateur producer mostly using beyerdynamic dt880 pros as headphones and sometimes my krk kns 8400.  However I use my monitors as much as I can which is the preferred way.  Still I wanted some new headphones so I picked up some K240S and...

    Hello all, I'm making a decision between the 225i and the 325is and I'm turning to Head-Fi for some valuable input~   I have a fondness for the higher frequencies. I don't shy away from them, especially when I'm in the mood for brassy jazz and especially electronica, where (timely)...

So after reading a large majority of the reviews done by Mad Lust Envy on some headphones, I have narrowed my choice down to the K702 Annies or the Q701s. I mainly play games, watch movies, and listen to tons of music. However, I'm looking for an appropriate option for powering these headphones...

HI,  I've posted in the recommendations thread several times and have also spent a long time over the past few months researching. I'm getting stuck though and the person who's gonna be buying me new cans wants to know what I want reasonably soon. I'll go through what I want out of these cans...

Can someone do an accurate comparison between the two. Also which ones do you guys think is better, which one is more versatile. Please post your impressions as it will be very helpful in my matter :)

I would like to know if anyone have try this setup? how was it? any quick review about it?  Thanks!   I´ll get one this weekend and would like to read about your experience....

Hey! I've had my AKG K702's a while now and have taken the stock cable out a few times, although I tried to to take it out before and it just. will. not. come. out.   I've pushed the little button right down and tried to pull it out hard and nothing happens, I've tried to pull it like...

Hi to all,   I have tried to search a previous answer to a question in the forum but since now I can't find it...   I have read in the specs that the AKG K601 (120ohm) and K702 (62ohm) both have a max input power of 200mW, I am searching a small desktop power amp (for a starting point I...

Hi,   I'm looking for Grado phones!!   I've used Hifiman He-500 for just one week, actually i've used for less than 2 hours.   The reason why i sold He-500 even if i really liked sound of HE-500, It's too heavy for me.   I liked the sound, but it was so uncomfortable and heavy...

As the title says, what are the closed headphones (I need some for tracking vocals) that sound closest to my beloved K 702s?

Hi,   I've settled on K 702s as my main headphones but I still need closed-back tracking head phones. I'm considering re-buying the SRH840s which I liked a lot but that's so boring. Does anyone have some photos of the SRH840s and KRK 8400s side by side? I can't seem to turn any up googling...

So thats the setup Im using, just got the little dot last night and im having trouble getting it set right. I hear a low hiss when i have my littledot in the setup, if its my sound card powering my akgs no hiss. Maybe I have the gain wrong my the little dot? Im using the the stock tubes so maybe...

I was considering buying a pair of AKG K702's and I've read the few forums already on here about what amps to buy for them.  I have a Roland Quad-Capture audio interface as my DAC currently and I know that the output impedance for the headphone out is 47 ohms.  My question is basically if I...

Hello headfiers, hoping I can get some feedback.   I recently moved to a new apartment in which the room for my music recording gear is an acoustic nightmare. A perfectly square room with thin walls.  Add on to that the poor electrical outlet placement and I don't even have enough sockets...

I'm looking to check out some K702's/Q701's, but I haven't been able to find a store around San Francisco that stocks them. Apparently AKG is rare in retail. :/   Does anyone know of a hifi store in the bay area that stocks AKG?   Thanks!

I am currently at home, running a Nuforce HDP as DAC and headphone amp. From the online reviews the HDP is considered good enough to drive the T1.   I am comparing the T1 against the Senn HD650, Beyerdynamic 770 and AKG 702.   And the T1 is the worst of the lot! It lacks the bass of the...

I have a problem.  My system includes a McIntosh C2300 PreAmp, 2x McIntosh MC352, MartinLogan Prodigy and other “stuff”.  All this stuff has followed me around the world to various locations.  Wife of course has always hated the look of the 5.5 foot MLs.  Next assignment – London.  Hmmmm no...

I currently have a pair of AKG K702 headphones. I am powering them with a Fiio E7/E9 DAC/amp combo. The headphones are used exclusively with my PC for music, video games and movies.   I am looking for an upgrade to the DAC and amp to better power the headphones. I have a budget of...

Hey guys,   Upgraditus has struck me once again even though i just bought a pair of AKG k272's almost two months ago. I've decided on the K702 and would like to eventually end up with the k702 and a schiit asgard (could possibly be swayed to a little dot product) and maybe bifrost too. I...
