My first hi-fi headphones were AKG K141's. I'm thinking , that my impressions of quality sound are most likely biased/rationalised subconciously on my experience of these headphones. Because, after all the headphones I've tried,, I still like AKG's the most, and have a preference to the...

I have a pair of old AKG K140 and need new earpads, but I would really like to get over ear pads if I can. Does anyone know where I can find such pads or if it's even possible?

Hi all,    I recently bought an AKG K141 mk. II, and now I am looking for an amp for it. I got two options: -iBasso D2+ Boa -Ray Samuels P-51 Mustang The Mustang is a huge price bump from the D2+. But if the difference in sound quality isn't as huge as the price gap, I'd go for the...

I have a pair of AKG K141s    bought about  4 years  ago    still in like New   condition  at least cosmetically,    but they have shorted out in the left  ear.    My  first idea was to replace  the  cable  that I needed to replace the XLR mini cable  that connects  the  cans to the source  ...

I just bought a pair of the k141 mk2. I got this particular 141 since i felt they were the better value vs the k142 HD seeing that they are still Austrian made and come with more accessories in the box. They come with two pairs of pads(velour and leather) and a coiled and straight cable plus...

   

Hi folks. I've just bagged some new old stock silver k141's on ebay for a silly price but the pads have apparently had it.  I have some spare pads from my mk2's.  Does anyone know if they will attach ok?   Thanks.

Today i was browsing ebay and i found the Vintage AKG K141 for sale. Not knowing about them a lot, i contacted the dealer and did my own research on the headphones. The dealer told me they are brand new, never used and original everything. Only problem is he said the earpads are practically...

I can't find anywhere that sources parts for old AKG headphones, specifically K141 (original) I'm specifically looking for new elastics, new inner foam and new ear-pads.  Any help would be much appreciated.

(repost from wrong forum)   I can't find anywhere that sells parts for old AKG headphones, specifically K141 (original) I'm specifically looking for new elastics, new inner foam and new ear-pads.  Any help would be much appreciated.

American Musical Supply is having a nice sale on these headphones this week.  I was wondering if anyone has experience with listening to metal music on them, particularly progressive metal and death metal.  I'm also wondering how they would be to track metal guitars, do rough mixes, and...

Thinking of upgrading from my Sennheiser PX100-ii's and the AKG K144's have caught me eye.   They tick a lot of boxes for me as they are semi-open, supra-aural and have closed cups. I am hoping the closed cups will provide more isolation as that was my one complaint with my PX100's.   I...

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but today my akg's came in, and I noticed right off the bat that the right channel of my akg's work! So trying to find out if it was the jack, i tested it in my ipod and another computer, no luck. I tried changing the eq so all audio went to the right...

Hi I have a nice old pair of akg k141's.  They are the silver ones from the 70's.  They sound amazing.  But they could really use new earpads and new foam on the inside of the pad.  From what I understand this version has glued on pads.   Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get...

Just found my 35 year old AKG240 headphones. Soldered on a new jack and they sound pretty nice. Would it be worth my time to shop for new phones (under $100). Could I expect better performance? Any opinions welcome. Thanks

Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible that my HD600 lost some of it's "punch" due to the ear pads wearing out? They kinda sound lifeless to me, as if the pads are damping the sound or something. Basically these headphones are on my head everyday for at least a few hours. When is a good time...

Okay so today my NEVER USED, BRAND NEW AKG K141 Monitor finally arrived. As soon as I opened the shipping box, the iconic "Cardan" de luxe box is visible with AKG K141 below. I am told that these have the Sextett driver (I have no idea what that means) and my gosh these look good. It comes with...

hello...i'm trying to understand how to open akg 141 studio to repair it...please help me...i don't want to break my headphone!

Today I was prowling around a thrift store a spotted a set of AKG 141 headphones for sale ($12). I couldn't tell what model they were because the silver badges on the side were missing, but I later figured out the were model 141 - vintage from the 70s, I guess.  They need a lot of juice to get...

Hey everyone, I need some urgent feedback and help on choosing between 5 headphone monitors, and since the local vendors don't actually have these models, I'm having it shipped and so I can't try any of them till I actually buy them.  I HAVE done quite a bit of research, and I have narrowed...

I have an ME-240 Integrated amp which I'm using to drive a pair of AKG 141's with the Aux-out at the moment. I'd like to know if it's safe to use the Pre-out instead. The reasons are: the Aux-out volume is too high and not adjustable on the unit.  

Didn't see much on these when I searched but L&M has them on for half price right now and I was wondering if it's worth it, anyone heard these cans?  Any impressions would be good as I don't have a great set of full-sized cans.  Don't have an amp as of right now so would I also need to purchase...

make virtually no difference to the maximum volume?  When driving some HD555s or AKG k141-2s, (or even some earbuds), when it is on maximum volume, the difference is very small.  This is with a Sansa Clip as the player... if I sit in a quiet room and attempt to tell the difference, the amp on...

I accidentally posted this in the portables forum:     Is it possible/feasible to recable the vintage AKG K141? The cord is really crappy, and I was also looking to upgrade the connector to a 1/8" with a screw-on 1/4" adapter. Thoughts? Anyone who can actually do this? I was thinking of...
